a magic house

"The ordinary and the extraordinary exist side by side in Isabelle Puech's Paris apartment – a converted carousel workshop in the 9th arrondissement, where merry-go-round horses were once repaired. A stuffed crocodile stands guard in the hallway, and an ostrich skeleton, animal hoofs and austere oil paintings are displayed in the living area."

  1. Dreamy ! Made me think of that movie... The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus or like it was taken out of some Julio Cortazar story :)

  2. Where does one buy a stuffed crocodile? On ebay, for about £250 apparently....did I tell you about this years big trend in taxidermy at weddings?
