While in Monaco, my dear husband and I took a stroll up to the market for some fresh food items along with several bunches of fresh white rannunculas which I proceeded to make this arrangement for dear Toety, my Mother-in-law. I love the attitude of the one stem that seems to be reaching, vying for attention. Next to the arrangement is a Diane James Home candle I gave to Toety, which she lit and thought it was the most lovely fragrance filling the room with a heady floral scent.
The room is mostly shades of cream and brilliant blue accents like the lamp.
They have lived in this apartment for thirty years and have collected things they love.

What a sweet and cozy visit.
There is something so wonderful about anyone living in the same space for that long and creating their own version of paradise. I do wish you lived closer, they would love it, but alas not possible. These have been lovely posts.
It is always nice to go back home. A beautiful place to visit. I'm sorry to hear your father-in-law fighting this horrible disease. It is so hard for the one with the lapse of memories and the family that holds all the memories. Thanks for sharing a bit of your trip. xo
The elegance of this apartment takes me back to my time in Paris - there's a special French "je ne sais quoi" about this lovely space and I'm sure you mother-in-law would love a daily delivery of flowers from you!

It’s always lovely to see what people have collected throughout the years. xx

Such a beautiful room and sentiments Patricia, so glad you were able to visit. So sorry to hear about your father-in-law, I can so relate.

Looks like a charming flat, I love Monaco! It's so strange and full of contrasts. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
What a lovely homage to your Toety. I am sure she wishes you lived down the street too.
