photo by Mario TestinoI've visited the tunnel at the Place D'Alma where Diana died - and like all shrines, it is eerie and tragic. All I could think was: Her poor children. She would be alive if this tunnel were in the U.S. (and she'd been treated under American emergency protocol), and Why wasn't she wearing her seatbelt?
Choices.
Rest in Peace, Diana.
I'm a decorator, wife, and busy mom of three. I believe in elevating the average space, and bridging the great design divide. I love homes, and aspire beyond builder-grade blah. This blog chronicles our own home projects, what inspires me, and sometimes, just what's on my design-track mind. Taking ordinary homes to higher levels is my little happy place.

Such a tragic loss for all the world, she was amazing and we will miss her forever.
I remember that day, what a tragic episode. She will always be a princess in our hearts :)
It really does feel like yesterday... hard to believe it was that long ago.
Thanks for the reminder today Alison. Her death impacted me quite a bit too. We took our daughter to Paris last fall and walked by the shrine to her {just outside the tunnel where the accident happened} and for the entire trip she asked me to tell her the story over and over...even at 4 years old and years later she was impacted by it too.
Happy Monday!
wow! I can't believe it's been that long! I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news...
I was alone in our apartment that night when I heard the news of the horrific crash and could not believe it. She'll live on in all our hearts.
I remember like it was yesterday when she died, she was so young and so beautiful!
Hard to believe it's been 12 years ago. I remember watching the news reports roll in first hearing she was "gravely injured" and a short while later reports confirming that she had died.
I remember the funeral, too, and how touched I was watching her sons walk in the funeral procession. William and Harry are just a bit younger than my sister and I and I remember thinking how unfair it would be to lose your mother at such young ages...
powerfully poignant alison.
I remember watching her wedding whilst in college, and then watching her as a Princess and then a Mom, and above all live such an elegant life end so tragically.
