Sharing meaningful Beauty in the Everyday

BEAUTY is EVERYWHERE

 

We believe that beauty can be in the grand and simple moments. It’s in the scent of an orange lingering on fingers. It’s the way the light changes that particular shade of green throughout the day, in the way a chair tucks into the corner of a room and suddenly feels easy, or the sounds of Paris coming to life in the morning.

APT LA FAYETTE is a space created to celebrate this kind of everyday beauty, a space to rest, be rejuventated, be re-inspired while being surrounded by the beauty of Paris.

Originally the home of creator Jackie Kai Ellis, it is now available for stays, and photoshoot rentals.

Dinner parties beside vintage bikes with Mickey Mouse embossed on the leather seat. It’s the same deep green as the bathroom walls, a green that changes with the weather’s mood...almost black on cloudy days and hunter when it’s sunn
Stacks of books - white tulips - morning coffee on the kitchen counter - plants growing over the couch.
Where there’s a window, there’s a window seat way. Custom-made window bench for one.
We love kitchens when they are imperfect, with dirty dishes and signs of lives well lived.
