Casiraghi Trio Apartments
How large do you think the apartment is?
What kind of furniture do you think she has there? Modern, retro, antique, minimalistic, eastern-influenced? Does she wash the dishes or does she have a dishwasher? Does she wash her own clothes? Does she iron? What colors are there? Black-and-white, nature colors, bright shades? Does she prefer wood, metal or plastic? Or does she decorate with different fabrics? Does she like potted plants? Are there many pictures on her walls? Does she have a stereo, a tv set, a computer there? Tell us how do you imagine her home looks like!

 Ok, Charlotte's apt in my imagination is totally minimalistic (think of the house on Lamu) but it has a few antiques. The art on the walls is very impressionistic. I don't know why, but I can see Charlotte liking Monet a lot. She has an ultra-modern kitchen, complete with every state-of-the-art appliance and machine that a wealthy city girl's kitchen would have. I think she irons her own clothes on occasion, when necessary, but once a week a maid comes in to do the serious cleaning and washing up. She tidies up and keeps things nice, but doesn't need to do any rigorous cleaning, as she has to have that time for studying and family obligations. I think her apt is mostly wood, with nature colors, and potted plants. It has big veranda windows and high ceilings and it's very, very lofty. You can hardly hear the noise outside in her sound proof walls. I don't think she has pictures on the walls, but she does have framed prints of horses in her bedroom at least. Her computer is a Mac Powerbook G4 notebook with OS X. She has a great stereo system and DVD player and big plasma TV but she doesn't use them much. hehe, this is fun! :)

PU-LEASE
 - you know darned well that there is NO WAY any of them actually clean their own homes or many apartments! I'm sure there is "field detail" for dwellings other than the main homes/palace, so when they are at the apartments in Paris, summer home in Monaco, and other areas, some team is cleaning up after them. I agree that the apartments are (hopefully) set up to appeal to the Trio when they choose to stay in one of them (whether it's an overnight or when school is in session); I would imagine that the main dwelling for Caro, Ernst and Alex is like any other functioning home....again, equipped with cooks, gardners, maid staff, etc. Fun topic, though!

Ikea???
Quote:
In my opinion, she does even not know what it is............. I think that she just walked around Saint Germain de Près, an area full of nice expensive decoration shops, and she ordered her full lot of furnitures, antics or moderns. In the same way her coat comes from Gucci and not from Zara, her furnitures would not come from Ikea.... It's normal, it is her way of life, she has been grown up in this world......, wearing babydior and not baby H&M.... She should never clean or iron by herself, she is used to have an army of people running behind her to clean everything, why she should change now`???? I would not do it if i was her..... And do not forget that she is studying, she has no time to clean, as far as she can pay the staff to do it for her....

Ikea bis
Quote:
But for this category of people the normal standard it to go to high designers and to order, and some days after the item is ready in your living room.... I mean, when Carl Lagerfeld himself designs your dress when you are 8 years old, you will not go to the cheep shops when you are 19!!! Its not a shame to use the money that you have, she has money and she uses it, why not?

May be..... But I think she goes to H&M..... as much times WE can go to Chanel..... At least, who knows??? But I remember some photos, she should be around 16-17, alone with friends in New York, they were using a big Limousine, its more comfortable than the Subway, No??? Anyway, it's nice these forums, we can exchange our ideas. Ciao:)

Regarding "IKEA" and other "average" shopping ventures - come on kids! You KNOW when Prince Albert stepped into the palace, he probably re-decorated, rearranged furniture, etc - the "cast offs" most likely went to the summer home in Monaco, Caroline's homes, the apartments - there is no way they would ever need to furnish a place or actually do the shopping themselves. They probably have stylists for clothing (I mean, Karl Laggerfeld/Chanel is at their beck and call !!) and home furnishings. It's more than the fact that she/the Trio doesn't have time to shop....they don't NEED to; it's done for them. :)

I think I'll have to disappoint you here as well. Charlotte, I don't know which appartment she lives in...if she shares it with someone or not. But the family members are not always using the family's (old) appartments...If they are using the family appartments these are already furnished...but if Charlotte rent her own little two-room appartment like Stephanie did at her age then she might have to furnish it herself and it is likely she does this with todays fashionable furnituring stuff from HABITAT or IKEA .... why not? Whats so special about it?
REPLY: That would be great, if true (judging by Andrea's Montreal apartment/neighborhood - yikes!  ), although I'll bet Charlotte is not living the bohemian lifestyle Andrea did in Canada. Hopefully, however, they can appreciate what it's like to be a struggling college student, living on your own w/your friends or boyfriend - cooking and shopping for yourself; hopefully they can allow themselves this for now, because when they are through with school, they will inherit a home (she was gifted an Island in Greece, don't forget - can any of us say that?!) and have full-time staff and won't have to worry about maintenance anymore. If she chooses to marry Felix, he comes from a rich family, too, so they'll be able to afford all the help they need. So, in their young, independent/college life, maybe they are able to live like us "commoners."

I think her apartment wouldn't be posh, in the sense that it makes the apartment look like an old woman lives in it. I think it would look very fun and youthful. her wardrobe will be full of Lagerfeld/Chanel!

Sebastian and Michelle, I like you guys a lot. You're very nice. But it's not necessary to convince us how "normal" this family is. You don't have to talk to us like this, saying "Oh she goes to GAP, H&M, just like you!" Most of us, I think, are a bit more intelligent than you seem to think! Please, you guys don't have to exaggerate the family's "normalness" to get us to like them. We already like them, we accept them for what they are, which is a very wealthy family that certainly does shop in the best shops and drive the best cars. Sometimes you're over-eagerness to convince us how "normal" they are is a bit insulting. No offense, but seriously. This is not necessary!

You might think Charlotte or Pierre don't even know what a packet of milk costs...if so you're wrong...they go to the supermarket themselves, they take the buses and the metro in Paris, they buy their stuff at FNAC and GAP in Paris...even if you like to imagine a butler running around town to get them what they want....:) Last edited by michelle; 10-14-2005 at 03:56 PM.

And we also saw pics a year or so back of Char riding the bus, so I'm sorry if I came across rude in my last post here. Like I said, I respect everyone here and don't want to cause offense, but I did feel that maybe you were over-stressing the "normalcy" point just a bit! Of course, they're normal. They walk normal, look normal, whatever "normal" really means, but I mean.... |
