A Look Inside a Paris Apartment

[@charlesblack1086]

I like that it's a contemporary space that still feels French. Great job decorating and keeping it family friendly.

[@TheJackfruitLife]

Thank you so much! Yes - our family has to first function in the space. Making it pretty is all about helping us enjoy it more!

[@Mrs-u8r]

Wow, congratulations on your new apartment. I have to admit this is one of the biggest Paris apartments I have ever seen. God bless you guys.

[@Guitarbarella]

Yes it’s huge.

[@pegschwabel9039]

You have created a truly beautiful space. Great job decorating. Thank you for sharing!

[@namuffy]

I love the marble tray on the radiator. I have the same size radiator and I've been trying to find something like that. Great idea.

[@TheJackfruitLife]

Thanks so much! Picked it up from H&M Home. :)

[@janinafisher101]

It's a beautiful apartment. All the character is magnificent, and the fact that you don't have it over-decorated, yet it seems to have all the comforts of home is fabulous. You really do have a marvellous kitchen. From what I've seen, so many European city apartments have really narrow kitchens - so strange given how much activity happens in them! You did a great job cleaning up after two kids... I wouldn't blame you if you never wanted to do another apartment tour! Though it's always useful to have a good excuse to clean up!

[@TheJackfruitLife]

We definitely tend to like things light and airy, so while I'll likely add a few more character pieces I don't think it will be much more. Plus, it is just more things for my kids to potentially break. :P But really, we want all of the French charm to stand out! I'm grateful to have such a wide kitchen since I really enjoy cooking. And I really only managed the cleaning since they are both in school! It is a lot to keep up with those wild boys. :)

[@janinafisher101]

@TheJackfruitLife Yeah, house decorating with 2 young 'uns can be iffy, I'm sure. Great that they are in school! Hiw's their French? Must be getting pretty good by now, n'est pas?

[@maryporter3637]

Love that you have not cluttered your home , you have really considered placement and energy and chosen beautiful pieces

[@thebowmac]

Those watercolor stickers are so fun! Beautiful space, overall. As a New Yorker, that apartment looks like the size of a house!! The rooms are HUGE! 😄

[@thebowmac]

Did you link the stickers? I didn’t see a link but maybe I missed it?

[@sarahos9600]

Beautiful home! I love the boys’ room! I am amazed that you found an apartment so large in Paris! I would have loved to see the bathroom too.

[@TheJackfruitLife]

I wanted to share the bathrooms, but they were so small it was hard to film. But FYI- it is a water closet, one full bath, and one shower room. You actually do get to see the empty version of them in my apartment hunting video. :) And I love the boys room, too! It makes me happy to be in there. :)

[@masp441]

5.58. The lounge chair is beautiful. Also I loved that you sat on it barefoot, that looked so laidback, relaxed and attractive at the same time.

[@natashadavies9569]

Lovely architectural details and fire surround. The UK is also within Europe and it's entirely standard for rentals to come with basic white goods (oven, washing machine, fridge freezer), though only the fully furnished places will have wardrobes. Really like your attitude to not buying place holders and some of the pieces (that little wall desk for example) are really lovely

[@TheJackfruitLife]

Thx for that background on the UK! I didn't know that.

[@uwpride]

Simple, quality over quantity, and practical 👏🏼

[@TheJackfruitLife]

Thank you so much! :)

[@nata3467]

This apartment is huge! so much space and so much light- thank you for sharing

[@annikalund2329]

5:59 That blue swivel chair! Wow!

[@alisondoughty2194]

Such a lovely home🎉😀

[@kelly33SR]

Such a beautiful place!

[@TheJackfruitLife]

Thank you so much! :) It felt important to make our new home feel like a place we loved to be.

[@jennyfree2915]

Loved it! I was so happy to see my crayon art for. Tristan made the edit/move!

[@TheJackfruitLife]

It's so special to us! We love having sentimental pieces that help us feel close to loved ones, even from a distance!

[@islandgirl8914]

Beautiful home.

[@TheJackfruitLife]

Thank you! :)

[@annettedelahunty3899]

Im really loving seeing your home!!Thanks for sharing♥️

[@TheJackfruitLife]

Thank you so much! I really loved sharing it. :)

[@bonriver9420]

You've done a great job decorating this apartment. It is both beautiful and functional.

[@pamelaannfuller9410]

Love the apartment - so roomy for Paris!! You've done a great job. J'aime particulièrement le double séjour. Vous avez fait du bon travail. La seule chose que je changerais, c'est le luminaire à ampoule noire avec les cordons qui traversent le mur. J'opterais pour un lustre en cristal classique, peut-être avec des chapeaux hauts de forme. Mon appartement à Hoboken, dans le New Jersey, est également un aménagement double séjour avec cheminée (2) et portes françaises.

[@TheJackfruitLife]

Thank you! The problem with the light is the ceiling - it is solid cement! As it was not pre-wired for a light, we had very limited options. :D

[@lindamarie6574]

Lovely!

[@richardsanmiya2976]

Great apartment. Love your decorating. Enjoy your home. Linda

[@georgeszurbach444]

Nice,you need to get the mirror positioned lower ,closer to the chimney mantel.

[@TheJackfruitLife]

I actually like it a bit higher, given the decor I have there and its relationship with the other frames/furniture on the wall and its relative space in the molding regarding the top and bottom. But thank you for your thoughtful comment!

[@georgeszurbach444]

​@@TheJackfruitLifeAs long as you are happy that's the most important. I was just mentionning how we position mirrors above chimneys in France,which is à few cm.above the mantel.

[@TheJackfruitLife]

Thanks for sharing, @@georgeszurbach444! I think I've offended the French already with my departures for traditional decor but as least I can know and understand the liberties I'm taking with their beautiful spaces!

[@Samantha-ys2pp]

Beautiful apartment!

[@jodidybala4030]

I love the map wall!

[@davidrice6724]

Beautiful apartment....and Huge by Parisian standards...

[@TheJackfruitLife]

Yes, we feel so lucky to have the space!

[@kamsamnedah]

LOVE the Chakra Light Pendant! 😍

[@TheJackfruitLife]

I got it off Etsy - one of my favorite finds! I also bought one for my yoga instructor.

[@LynneJordan11]

Beautiful!

[@denisemarino3021]

From the USA. What a great Paris apartment. You are very lucky that you found it. The building also looked really nice. I wish you had mentioned which arrondessment you live in.

[@zsuzsannaschiller3204]

Beautiful apartment. Could you tell me which brand is the rounded swivel foteuil (lounge chair) in the living room?

[@TheJackfruitLife]

It is Habitat. :)

[@loriparsley1914]

Just wondering about the process of moving your pup?

Beautiful corpet🎉🎉🎉

[@jujuzeeD]

Your home is lovely, and you decorated every room well. Can you share where you purchased the Chakra pendant hanging in the kitchen?

[@TheJackfruitLife]

I got it off Etsy. One of my favorite purchases!

[@SusanChristmas]

It's nice for what it is with so few things. However it's so minimalistic that it's a bit boring to tour. With so few things to focus on the tour could have been done in half the time.

[@ednasantiago-otero6245]

Hi, I love your Paris apartment can you please put up the link for the watercolor stickers also I love the kid's bookcase where did you get it from I need that in my life. thank you!

[@TheJackfruitLife]

Yes - of course! Kids bookcase is just from IKEA. The watercolor stickers were from Etsy here: www.etsy.com/listing/577158046/small-rainbow-watercolor-dots-fabric?ref=yr_purchases

[@lindaheston2180]

Why is it that even though disappointment is favorable to some people keep that disappointment to themselves. She was kind enough to viseo her apartment so at least show some consideration to her for that.

[@brideofchrist945]

This is so cool. I love Paris. What does an apartment like this cost? 😊

[@TheJackfruitLife]

I cover costs in my apartment hunt video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqquZX2VpMaYqtU

[@71717]

There's plenty of room in that apartment my house is smaller than that apartment lot of room there

[@marsery]

Bonjour , i really like your interior . May i ask about your canapé / sofa ( i a natural linen color / brand? )

[@TheJackfruitLife]

It is similar to a linen, but obviously more robust to stand up to use. It's ampm from LaRedoute.

[@marsery]

@@TheJackfruitLife thank you 🙂, they do indeed sell great stuff :-)

[@darlenerojas3055]

Could you tell me where you got the rug in the living room from?

[@TheJackfruitLife]

All of our rugs are from a company called Benuta.

[@sandramalone3522]

Updating and modernizing is RUINING it from it's original style. Ugly kitchen.

[@chrsitineadriaenssen6074]

no originality😢

[@chatontigrou9793]

Decoration très triste, assez cheap très représentative de la France. A budget égal, la décoration américaine, anglaise est vraiment beaucoup plus confortable et luxueuse. Décevant.

[@heliedecastanet1882]

Il faudra vraiment décerner une médaille à vos parents pour l'éducation qu'ils vous ont donnée ! Autant d'inculture, d'impolitesse et de bêtise en deux phrases, c'est rare. Passer une soirée avec vous et votre famille, ça doit être sacrément éprouvant 😂

[@donnagarcia722]

WHAT you don’t like antiques in France 😮

[@julutschka1591]

As beautiful as the flat is (and it really is!), the video is poor quality. It's shaky, often times out of focus, and the camera panning is too fast. I had to pause way too many times to get a really good look at the interior that, again, is on point.

[@TheJackfruitLife]

Yep - I'm working with amateurs over here (me)! :)

[@ginaprasad7695]

I actually thought the video was very well done ❤

[@Frchgrl]

Omg who cares

[@212latina]

Where did you get that dining room table that expands? Love that it’s oval!

[@TheJackfruitLife]

I got it from a store here called Habitat. Yes - the oval is so nice and easy to walk around! Perfect for a busy room in a small space. :)

[@soficharland4798]

Beautiful appartement! Nice space, windows , not to much stock, very cosy simple but very chic also, dining space, living room are simply amazing love it! And your bedroom peacefull place and the kids one is such original! Love your appartement! ❤

[@TheJackfruitLife]

Thank you so much!

[@AugustAugust-e8h]

The apartment is lovely. I also enjoyed the video where you showed the apartments that you decided against. May I ask what sites did you initially use to narrow your search prior to arriving in Paris for the apartment tour/viewings?

[@TheJackfruitLife]

SeLoger was the best resource because it pulls in listings from other sites. Other than that, if I were doing it again, I'd work with a realty company. France does not have a central database of listings, so it's really by luck that we found the right apartment for us!

[@siajazz]

Where did you get your wall mounted wall desk in your bedroom from?

[@TheJackfruitLife]

Zara Home

[@Marcecilia355]

Very beatiful.

[@barbaracooper767]

Did the furniture have to be carried up the stairs since the elevator is so small? This is beautiful 😍

[@TheJackfruitLife]

Thank you so much! And yes, it did! Luckily our moving boxes fit in the elevator, but everything else went up the stairs. When we move out, everything will go out the window and be conveyed down by a sliding platform. 😲

[@maddscientist3170]

NICE KITCHEN!!! the apartment is HUGE

[@TheJackfruitLife]

It does feel very spacious, which I love!

[@Nas-f5u]

Wonderful!

[@bernadetteberg3896]

You forgot to show us the bathrooms.

[@TheJackfruitLife]

Didn't forget - they're just small and hard to film! If you want to see them, you can check out my apartment hunting video and there is some footage of them there. :)

[@teresajenkins9056]

Love the entry...don't know why we had a prolonged shot of the very dull unattractive overhead light...love the marble tray over the radiator...so the kitchen still looks like a white box...but love the width... pretty apartment but the furniture is very dull for a `100 year old apartment...love the living room and the crown molding...sorry when you say the bedroom has a lot of colors...it does not ...everything is still very white...this is a nice apartment...but the design is meh...
