But about Versailles. As fascinating as I find dead French royalty, I was really there for decorating ideas and because the numerous mirrors afforded opportunities for me to try those clever self-portraits I keep hoping to give you.
Most of you know that I'll be moving into a new apartment soon, and the numerous color schemes at Versailles gave me plenty of inspiration. For instance, Tara and I will have a yellow living room, and I really love how understated this room is:

Our dining room is red, and with some modifications for scale, I thought that we could copy this extremely warm and welcoming space:

And one of the walls in my bedroom will be green, and this modest suite seems like something just right for a grad student:

But joking aside, isn't this a sweet couch?

The chateau and accompanying buildings were interesting, but I really enjoyed the gardens more. Some highlights:

That sounds very logical dear, model your apartment after Versailles. I am sure Tara will be up for that. By the way, I love the pink couch too.
Tara's going to love it. It is a good thing that she doesn't read my blog!
