The Peak of Tres Chic
mydailydoseofinspiration.blogspot.com
214
I'm Sam and I am a lover of coffee table books, ikat prints, anything Oscar Wilde said, and anything French. I love to write and read in my free time. I am passionate about creating beautiful surroundings. I grew to love decor at an early age, when I followed my mother around to antique shows, estate sales, and boutiques as she found new treasures to put in her different antique shops. She taught me at a very young age to always keep my eyes open, to keep looking, because you never know when something might inspire you. I love to travel, and find great inspiration from other cultures. The Peak of Tres Chic is my personal escape. I hope you enjoy it!
