Hotel Westminster in Rue de la Paix

Finally getting my scrapbook layouts online!  These are pictures of our suite at the HOTEL WESTMINSTER in the Opera area, walking distance from the Louvre, the Opera, and the Place Vendome.  We stayed there the first three days of my stay in Paris.  Unlike many of the more modern hotels, I think Hotel Westminster’s charm is in its ability to take you back through time…

The pictures I used on the lefthand layout were all less than good quality so I had to “play” with them by converting the background photo into a watercolor graphic, and I “cured” the poor picture quality of Alan’s and my shot caused by lack of proper lighting by converting them into black and white photos.

Don’t ask me why but I totally failed to take pictures of the Hotel Warwick Champs Elysees where I stayed from Monday to Wednesday which was a total departure from this with its modern decor. 

Alan and I took a lot of pictures in the receiving/living room of the suite but I’d rather keep that private.  More scrapbook layouts coming!
