It occupied most of the RDC of the Hotel Truchet, which was built in the 17th century by a poet and literature lover. Our salon was pretty huge - over 50m2 - with gorgeous antiques dalles des pierres and a massive stone fireplace, wooden beams. The doorways were arches filled with Heather Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316279029849503437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008662464580606671.post-43232541396111540482014-09-16T11:22:58.488-07:002014-09-16T11:22:58.488-07:00I love reading every one of your blogs.

My current 'why-do-they-do-that' is the overuse of the term 'Mid-Century'. Give it up! Just cause its angular, or round. Just cause it's topped in laminate doesn't make it precious. Ditto for the overuse of 'Art Deco': It's old, and grandma had it.
