# 20: LIGHT-ing

The 20th May-Photo-A-Day: "LIGHT-ing"

One of the first projects Te worked on when we moved into our apartment in February was to rig our globe lighting and bed lamps we bought in Paris at a shop called Merci (111 boulevard Beaumarchais, 75003, Paris.)

Our lounge: Day

Our lounge: Night

Our Bedroom: Head board lamp.

"Merci's aim is to bring together, under one roof, products and customers who traditionally have not had the chance to meet : vintage furniture or contemporary creations; emerging new fashion brands or already-recognised collections; impulse buys, affordable for all or much rarer pieces, sometimes in limited editions.

Fashionistas visit Merci from all over the world, local residents, young or not-so-young, students with their appetites already whetted. Small budgets, or large projects: there's something for everyone at MERCI" 

It was because of this awesome shop that Te and I were forced to buy two extra suit cases to fit in all our glasses, lighting, magazine holder and frames. We visited Merci twice while we were in Paris and ate at two of the three cafe's: The Used Book Cafe as well as The Canteen. 

AND.... 
This is what you look like when you leave Merci... 
Te was forced to carry our purchases all the way back to St. Germain... Glass and I are not the greatest of friends. 

Merci was most definitely one of our highlights of our trip as we decided it would be a once in a life time holiday and that we would purchase great finds that we could use and make apart of our home.

4 months later: RIP three of our Merci glasses.
