"It took fashion designer Audrey Rogers three months to find this apartment in Paris' 7th arrondissement. "I knew I wanted a Haussamanian style apartment with lots of light, and it had to be on the Left Bank," she writes of the rental she's lived in for two years and shares with Biba, the Pomeranian. "I love the quirky layout, the enormous pencil thin balcony and all the strange rooms, nooks, and crannies that make it a very unique place to live.""
"Inspired by the unit's hardwood floors, she went with gold and terracotta decorative elements to complement the wood tones. But don't expect to see any new purchases in the space. "My priority was to not buy anything new. I love vintage clothing, I collect vintage clothing, why would I ever go and buy brand-new furniture?" says Audrey, who admits the only new things in her apartment are her sofa and bed."
A fashion designer spent three months finding a Haussmannian-style one-bedroom apartment in Paris' 7th arrondissement on the Left Bank and has lived there for two years with a Pomeranian named Biba. The roughly 900-square-foot unit features a quirky layout, a narrow pencil-thin balcony, and many small rooms and nooks. The color palette uses gold and terracotta to complement the existing hardwood floors and architectural tones. Most furnishings and decor are vintage, with only a new sofa and bed. Moving antiques up a narrow staircase without an elevator required multiple delivery attempts and extended over months.
