A month or so ago I came upon this Paris Alley home in the New York Times Home and Garden section. It looks so amazingly beautiful - it was originally built in the 1800s as a haberdashery. I love all the portholes, and the kitchen, and the open stories, and so much ashy unstained wood, bedroom window ceiling, and garden?! Article and photos here: In Paris, a 19th-Century Dream House
