Having posted this magnificent Paris home back in December of 2010, I was thrilled to rediscover its beauty on the pages of the October 2012 House Beautiful! Designed by the virtuosic Robert Couturier, this interior is a masterclass in color! While the living room’s liquid blue walls draw inspiration from the sublime hue of a dutch delft tile, the overall use of this color somehow feels fresh and contemporary ~ boldly simple with an air of elegance and sophistication. Divine! And if that wasn’t enough to knock your socks off, check out the red lacquered dining room! The high gloss lipstick red breathes new life into the gold framed antique oil painting, upholstered banquette and modern brass and glass dining table. What a glorious setting for an intimate Parisian dinner party! Light the candles and pour the champagne!

Love that BLUE ! A wonderful and classic home from a master.
Robert is my brother and I wish he will never forget how proud I am. As children we use to draw houses, interiors houses with every thing in them : from the curtains to the towels in the bathroom an they seem so small but just well done….
Dear Marie-Madeleine,
Many thanks for writing! Your words paint such a vivid picture of your childhood…I too created small homes…one of my fondest memories was using an acorn cap for a speaker! The shape and scale worked so perfectly in this petite shoe box home…wishing you a very happy holiday season!
all my best to you,
danielle
