A Look Inside a Paris Apartment

Well, here we are! Just over six months in our new home, and I am finally getting into the groove of things and ready to share an apartment tour. We are still very much a work in progress over here, but it has been fun to take this place from EMPTY (8 suitcases and just 12 boxes), to fully functioning as a family home for us.

I like that it's a contemporary space that still feels French. Great job decorating and keeping it family friendly.

Thank you so much! Yes - our family has to first function in the space. Making it pretty is all about helping us enjoy it more!

Wow, congratulations on your new apartment. I have to admit this is one of the biggest Paris apartments I have ever seen. God bless you guys.

Beautiful home! I love the boys’ room! I am amazed that you found an apartment so large in Paris! I would have loved to see the bathroom too.

@TheJackfruitLife 7 ай бұрын

I wanted to share the bathrooms, but they were so small it was hard to film. But FYI- it is a water closet, one full bath, and one shower room. You actually do get to see the empty version of them in my apartment hunting video. :) And I love the boys room, too! It makes me happy to be in there. :)

It's a beautiful apartment. All the character is magnificent, and the fact that you don't have it over-decorated, yet it seems to have all the comforts of home is fabulous. You really do have a marvellous kitchen. From what I've seen, so many European city apartments have really narrow kitchens - so strange given how much activity happens in them! You did a great job cleaning up after two kids... I wouldn't blame you if you never wanted to do another apartment tour! Though it's always useful to have a good excuse to clean up!

@TheJackfruitLife 7 ай бұрын

We definitely tend to like things light and airy, so while I'll likely add a few more character pieces I don't think it will be much more. Plus, it is just more things for my kids to potentially break. :P But really, we want all of the French charm to stand out! I'm grateful to have such a wide kitchen since I really enjoy cooking. And I really only managed the cleaning since they are both in school! It is a lot to keep up with those wild boys. :)

@janinafisher101 7 ай бұрын

@TheJackfruitLife Yeah, house decorating with 2 young 'uns can be iffy, I'm sure. Great that they are in school! Hiw's their French? Must be getting pretty good by now, n'est pas?

Lovely architectural details and fire surround. The UK is also within Europe and it's entirely standard for rentals to come with basic white goods (oven, washing machine, fridge freezer), though only the fully furnished places will have wardrobes. Really like your attitude to not buying place holders and some of the pieces (that little wall desk for example) are really lovely

Love the apartment - so roomy for Paris!! You've done a great job. J'aime particulièrement le double séjour. Vous avez fait du bon travail. La seule chose que je changerais, c'est le luminaire à ampoule noire avec les cordons qui traversent le mur. J'opterais pour un lustre en cristal classique, peut-être avec des chapeaux hauts de forme. Mon appartement à Hoboken, dans le New Jersey, est également un aménagement double séjour avec cheminée (2) et portes françaises.

Thank you! The problem with the light is the ceiling - it is solid cement! As it was not pre-wired for a light, we had very limited options. :D

The apartment is lovely. I also enjoyed the video where you showed the apartments that you decided against. May I ask what sites did you initially use to narrow your search prior to arriving in Paris for the apartment tour/viewings?

@TheJackfruitLife 5 ай бұрын

SeLoger was the best resource because it pulls in listings from other sites. Other than that, if I were doing it again, I'd work with a realty company. France does not have a central database of listings, so it's really by luck that we found the right apartment for us!
