{j'aime EXTERIORS...and some interiors too!}

For this week's edition of j'aime EXTERIORS, I couldn't help but to include some interiors as well. In the past I've focused on homes, but it was nearly one year ago that Heritage Days in Paris took place. And...the Journées Européennes du Patrimoine will recommence (9/20 & 9/21)! Therefore, why not "celebrate" with the beauty that Paris offers. There are SO many exteriors that "j'aime", but these are especially unique due to their inguaration into Paris Heritage. So... here we go to Paris!

The historic beauty found in each of these photos completely inspires me! After looking through these and talking about traveling to France last night with Mr. Murphy, I can't help but long! Oh, how I long to get back there...{sigh}!

We'll be sure "visit" Paris/France again soon with some fun photos. Hopefully for now, these will bring you some unexpected mid-week inspiration!

::Lovely Wednesday to you all::
