Touring a Parisian Inspired West Village Apartment

The second episode of our new series, Bagels With The Boys is tres chic! We were so excited to visit Michelle of Chez Vu Decor in her incredible Parisian-inspired West Village Apartment. This home was truly a beauty with ornate crown moulding and ceiling medallions, thoughtful storage solutions for Michelle’s fabulous wardrobe, and tons of little French touches that really transported us au la premier Arrondissement. We had the best time snacking on Apollo Bagels and talking all things renovation with Michelle. Make sure you catch the episode on our YouTube, and scroll to the end of this post to find out how to shop this home & more French inspired designs!

If you love French decor, make sure to shop Michelle’s home, and check out our project, Carroll Jardin, for more French-inspired design!
