Many clients have a hard time seeing the gem hidden beneath grass wall paper and years of neglect. Not so with Pam and Scott of Silicon Valley, California. Our clients came to town with a vision of their Paris: “We had visited Paris for years as tourists, and always felt welcomed.” Pam, an interior designer, was inspired by the property we found for them in the 7th. A coveted Eiffel Tower view and good bones convinced her that the apartment had something special.

A diamond in the rough finds its sparkle
Many clients have a hard time seeing the gem hidden beneath grass wall paper and years of neglect. Not so with Pam and Scott of Silicon Valley, California. Our clients came to town with a vision of their Paris: “We had visited Paris for years as tourists, and always felt welcomed.” Pam, an interior designer, was inspired by the property we found for them in the 7th. A coveted Eiffel Tower view and good bones convinced her that the apartment had something special. We agree.
It’s hard to believe this is the same apartment, though the floor plan is mostly the same.
Cosmetic changes gave the property new life, making it the perfect family get-away.
A door that connected the dining area to one bedroom was converted into a secret passageway. The original marble fireplace and mirror had been painted and needed to be stripped and restored.
The kitchen was widened and fitted with elements that blend old and new.
