London | Paris Renovation

Eat Till You Bleed. Now that’s a name for a website.

But Food Porn as a Category? We had to investigate.

And what we found was a food lovers, hmnn… Paradise or a Bacchanal festival of mouth watering delight?

You be the judge.

Check out this recipe, Coq au vin. As synonymous with the French as hamburgers are with America. Only here, unlike the beloved burger this sauce is brimming with flavor to be accompanied with classically boiled or mashed potatoes. As the raw chicken marinates overnight, the wine and aromatics fully penetrate and develop. Add a pinot noir’s bright acidity to complement the rich fullness of the dish and you truly have something simple but oh, so special.

The average price of a home or apartment in Paris is 10,000 euros a square meter. Just outside of Paris the price drops dramatically but as far as the city of Paris itself, a renovation of the this size would be of a home worth millions and millions of dollars.

We forget how lucky we are as North Americans where simple working class people from Vancouver can live in a space that in other parts of the world are the domain of the rich and well to do. God Bless North America! 😀

But even if you have a small place here in Paris this fun before and after video gives some great tips.

The mirror at the front entrance is a great idea because it reflects the light through out the house..

They do a nice job of having a basic color theme that they continue throughout the home with accents in the bedroom and the family room.

And from a construction cost stand point they made a good choice by replacing the bathroom with an island for the kitchen. This saves on the cost of rerouteing the plumbing which in certain situations can get painfully expensive.

Good job guys!
