This week, I saw monumental progress in my space through the power of paint. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Paint is the easiest and cheapest way to completely transform a space.

The French have some pretty crazy boutiques. I learned what "chinoiserie" was this week, and it is my new favorite thing that has also always been my favorite thing. Read on to see what it means (and no, it isn't lingerie or pastries!)

This post contains my design plan for Week One.
