Claudia began her career in 1993 when she opened a boutique in New York City's East Village. In  contrast to the dark neighborhood, it was filled with French boudoir furniture and accessories. She painted and repaired flea market finds, reincarnating them into the sparkling treasures.

She was approached by Judith Regan to write a decorating book showcasing her style in 1995, and together they  published, ''The Paris Apartment, Romantic Decor on a Flea Market Budget'.   

Claudia  continues to grow the company  by combining a fresh and eclectic mix of vintage, French and Art Deco styles. The Paris Apartment was summed up when called "playful, romantic and luxurious interiors.(NY Times)

Today Claudia  travels to Paris throughout the year, taking small groups shopping and sharing resources. She's working on books and articles, designing a furniture line and pet decorating projects. 
 

Ultimately at the The Paris Apartment, our mission is to deliver products that will become heirlooms, and create rooms that reflect your individual style.
