I didn’t find this villa; it found me. On Tumblr, the Internet-loving Muggle’s equivalent to Ollivanders wand shop. I mimicked this traditional style revamped with purples, blues, and pinks in my apartment, but I failed spectacularly. It’s because I don’t have those purple velvet chairs, that powder blue upholstered headboard, or all those white-paneled windows. Also, I don’t live in Lebanon. And my apartment wasn’t built in the nineteenth century. And I’m not awesome.
