If you are here for the first time welcome and if you are returning welcome back. As I was looking around the website for ideas on Boho jewelry, I kept running into books about the Boho style in general and I then thought it would be good to have a list of some of the books available so here it is!

What is the Difference Between the Paris Apartment Style and Boho Chic Home Decor
What is the Difference Between the Paris Apartment Style and Boho Chic Home Decor and why do I mention it here?
Well first because it is where I received my first inspiration.
The Paris Apartment style to me is cozy, lived-in, and feels like it has a story to tell. There is a mix of vintage and modern pieces that all work together to create a lived in look on the other hand The Boho look is bright and bold. Eclectic furniture, with bold colors, and lots of statement pieces. A home that is full of life and has a fun, free-spirited vibe. A Boho home would also include what is called Ethnic pieces where as PAS would rely more on vintage and old-world decor.
I have moved on from the Paris Apartment Style because it was more vintage looking than I wanted but it was the first place I had an idea of the style I liked. The book I'm showing is just a reference to give you an idea of where I drew my first inspirations. A few years ago I actually re-did a dresser hoping to recreate a piece I saw on another blog and found out my taste actually ran more towards boho chic/ boho decor and fashion. (I'll post a picture at a later date). Another book I took a look at is more where I am now.
While,both homes are cozy and lived-in, the Paris apartment style is more refined and understated, while the Boho style is bolder and more eclectic. The Paris apartment style is all about mixing vintage and modern pieces for a timeless look, while the Boho style is all about making a statement and having fun with your decor. See below for some additional references to help nail down the look.
Overstock like most retailers have a section exclusively for The Boho Home Vibe
Additionally, you can also check out interior design blogs or websites like Houzz, Elle Decor, or Apartment Therapy for articles and features on these styles. These platforms often feature images of real-life homes and spaces that have been designed in the Paris apartment or Boho style, giving you a great idea of what these styles look like in action.
And feel free to check out my Pinterest board loaded with inspiration.
If you are familiar with either book or style please post your opinion.
Thanks for stopping by and go be amazing!
This Beautiful Fantastic Movie Review
I loved this movie the story line and the fact they were restoring a beautiful garden space. Looking at the over grown space you could just see the possibilities. To me this movie had a double meaning hinting at people. I loved the way he (Alfie) helped Bella to work through her garden issues. The reason I mention the movie on a blog about a Boho theme is because the garden in this movie is such a beautiful peaceful looking space. I love British movies anyway and this one was just as it states beautiful :).
"This Beautiful Fantastic" is a 2016 British romantic fantasy film directed by Simon Aboud. The movie tells the story of Bella Brown, a reclusive young woman who works as a housekeeper and dreams of writing children's books. She has a strained relationship with her landlord, Alfie, a grumpy old man who is an avid horticulturist. Despite their differences, Bella and Alfie are brought together when they are tasked with creating a beautiful garden in Alfie's courtyard. As they work together, they begin to form a friendship and eventually fall in love.
The film is a heartwarming tale about the power of nature, the importance of friendship, and the beauty of second chances. With its stunning visuals and charming storyline, "This Beautiful Fantastic" is a feel-good movie that is sure to warm your heart and inspire you to pursue your dreams.
