Weekend Inspiration: Grand Hotels

Hotels never cease to inspire us. There have been countless times when traveling where the hotel itself was much more exciting than the actual destination. If you're lucky, or great at planning trips, then sometimes you find yourself in a hotel that is not only architecturally stunning, but happens to be rich in history as well. Though it's been several weeks since we watched Wes Anderson's latest visual treat, The Grand Budapest Hotel, the lingering joy and excitement of being in such a beautiful hotel has remained on our minds. And with our latest entry display, we couldn't help but take our love of hotels and reference it within a small collection of house and home products. Incorporating our Tocca candles, Murchison-Hume cleaning products, linens and favorite vintage silver, we created a small glimpse into the "back of house" of a hotel, where staff may frequent for any supplies they require. With hotels stuck in the forefront of our mind and the weekend rapidly approaching, the desire to spruce up our house is quickly making its way to top priority. Even if it means our home will only look like a hotel for a few short days, we can't help but feel inspired to tidy up the house this weekend.

A Few of our Favorite Things: Meagan

We would like to welcome Meagan to the Paris Market team! A native of Boulder, Colorado, Meagan made the move to the Hostess City of the South to study at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where she graduated in 2012 with a B.F.A. in Fibers. Though Meagan is fond of many disciplines within Fibers her greatest passion lies in weaving and embroidery. Fueled by her childhood memories of adventure, Meagan states, "I make objects that are a platform for experience. I make objects that encourage adventure or initiate a memory. With an innate knowledge of a material’s potential to create sentiment or memory, I craft home embellishments that spark the potential for experience. The intimate pairing of materials and process remains central to my work, this pairing ends with refinement in the details of an object and its purpose." When she's not busy at The Paris Market or making beautiful work in her studio, Meagan enjoys spending her time outdoors. Her delightful personality and positive attitude make Meagan a joy to work with and we're so excited to have her on board! Take a look at Meagan's store favorites below and be sure to check out the beautiful work on her website!
