It’s that time of year again; though the weather may not quite reflect it yet, spring is underway and there is one thing that is on everyone’s mind; cleaning. With the nights now beginning to stay lighter for longer that layer of dust on your windowsill, the jumbled kitchen cabinets, and any splashes from muddy puddles on the wall will all be on display for more of the day. What better time than now to remedy this with a deep clean of your home? Though it is not always a chore that people enjoy, it is necessary to keep your home looking fabulous.

I love visiting Paris and when you tie it to such a great show like Maison & Objet it doesn’t get much better. The show exhibits thousands of European furniture interiors and some fashion brands. Recently, we wrote about Top Drawer in London and I suppose that show could fit in one hall at Maison & Objet. Walking the halls of 5B, 7 and 8 is the highlight at the Parc Des Expositions, which is just outside of Paris, but there is also much more to see.
