Wishing you a perfect summer weekend…
Back to neutrals…back to Provence…
beautiful green shutters and accents…
Up close…the sublime details…
Gilded finials on twine…an antique wallpaper box…
gilded mirror and mirrored crystal sconces…
love the bleached, worn antiques with traces of old paint…
More faint touches of gilt and paint…
charmingly worn through…
Aubusson tapestry throw behind a small 18th century
French carved and painted table with faux marble top…
A cascade of just picked peonies continuing the floral theme…
Ultimate indulgence… an outdoor bath….
Veranda…
Top four from May-June 2004

Back out to the garden…to be continued…






Simply beautiful — I thought I recognized some of the photo’s — some visuals you just never forget…
Now for a nice soak in that outdoor bath.
Have a lovely week end, thanks so much for bringing beauty to our world via your blog.

Wow. This is just an amazing collection! I am dying over that bath…. so gorgeous!
I had to take a deep breath…thank you for your lovely Friday posting!!!
I love antique wallpaper boxes. Love these vignettes
I hold all of my old Veranda copies near and dear but this has got to be one of my favorite magazine spreads of all time Thanks for the beautiful reminder. Happy weekend {gardening}!

I’ve been looking for this issue for awhile and finally found it on Ebay. Wish I had a larger collection!
God I love those photos but they’re from the Veranda 2002 issue. I know this because it’s sitting on my kitchen island right now…..love, LOVE the French green and the simplicity! Thank you for bring more to the picture Trish!
Hi Debra…well…I’m staring at my copy and it says May-June 2004!! The top photo is from the cover (with pink “Veranda” at top). Very interesting! The bottom photo (outdoor shower) is a mystery to me, however. Just a tear out from my files. Anyone?
My fault it was the 2004 issue, I have several issues open and was looking for a certain picture, sorry about my mistake.
Just loving all the lovely neutrals. That bath was exquisite….Thanks.
All of these details are just amazing… I love the little vignettes throughout the space. There are some
lovely ideas here to try. I can see a weekend project is inevitable! Thank you!
Wishing you a delightful weekend, lovely lady

Trish,
I recognized some of these images of Veranda! I also filed them long time ago! It is such a pitty that here in Belgium I hardly can find the magazine anymore!!!
But I am so glad you and a few other bloggers regurlaly post some images of the interiors in it.
You know Trish, I always receive your posts a rather late, that is why sometimes I am a bit late to comment!
I wish you a very warm weekend!
Hug,
Greet
Trish, I keep all my Veranda issues which I use as inspiration for our weddings.The florals they arrange and photograph help me a great deal. The May/June 2009 article Fete Champetre, page 106 was very instrumental in the look we did for one of our brides,minus the location of course.
I hope you have it, the tables and flower decor will take your breath away. Thank you for a beautiful weekend post,hope yours is great also.Nella xo
Hi Trish
A wonderful inspirational post for a lovely weekend!
Adore the green of the shutters – not a common coleur in Provence.
Such understated elegance the French do so well.
Chipped, tattered, faded, worn – all the more beautiful.
Sorry if my comment is repeated – after submitting, it disappeared not to be seen again!
ENJOY your provencal inspired weekend too!
Oh, Trish, I must have missed some of these. That outdoor bath! I’m speechless. What a fantastic collection of images. I’m late commenting as well. Hope you had a fabulous weekend!
Beautiful space!
I love the slipcovers,,,limestone and linen…we havce lots of them in Texas.
xoxo to your post and you,
