Yes, mes amis, we're back in Paris...

Where's the embarrassed pink Poodle with a disgusted look on its face?

So often, a room has lovely architectural details, as this one does, but I wouldn't survive this owner's taste in decor.

I love the drama of the color they chose for the sofa and how the draperies intesify that drama. Very lovely.

You can always tell when a room is in Paris. To me, those rooms, salons, always have amazing huge doors and the scrolly stuff on the walls. I don't know what they call the scrolly's? Architechtural points of interest? I don't know? Just very parisian. Nice.

Thank you @stevieb

Thank you @stevieb

@Queen of shop I'm pleased you enjoy the room. It's a very individualized decor and I too like the intense color, if not necessarily the style of the furnishings they've selected. The highly decorative paneling is called boiserie and yes, like you, I really appreciate the look of these older Parisian apartments with the large windows and decorative treatments!

@Foxxee Sorry, no pink topiary poodle... Beautiful bones, for sure. I like the colors and I like the patterned fabric, though I might have gone with a bit less of it, but I don't care for the modern style of the furniture selected...

@stevieb Oh! "boiserie". Very cool. Thank you. Now I can go down a rabbit hole and learn about boiserie. Lol. Learn something new every day and I appreciate more knowledge.

Very unique! I love each individual color used, but they're a bit much all together!

This room would certainly "slam" you awake in the morning!

The colors are really pretty and I must say it just made me smile looking at the photo of the room. However the couch doesn't look very comfortable and the tables in front of it are not my favorite. I think it would not get used much on a daily basis or me.

Pretty - but not liveable (for me).

The room itself is elegant and formal, just what I love. I probably wouldn't choose that color couch and I would replace the chairs and tables, change the drape print of course, all to suit my taste.

At first glace it seems very pretty and feminine, however I don't think I could live with it more than 15 or 20 minutes. C'est joli.

I do like Parisian architecture, of course, but find that the inset floral panels and the aggressive color palette fight needlessly with the beauty of the background.

The sofa color is beautiful but the window treatments and inset panels are too much for me. Still.....I find the space is charming and creative.

@stevieb What fun to first walk into the salon and take it in for the first time

Fireplace and mirror are lovely. That's all I've got!

I like the bones of the room.....but I dont like the fabric on the inlays (boiserie) on the walls that match the drapes....and I dont care for the furniture....especially for the tables in front of the couch...............

Love the room but the floral insets and colors used are not for me.

I think it's lovely! It does look very French! Oui - Oui! I don't see it as a look that a man would enjoy but I really like it!!!
