Another one of my very favorite images…I was surprised to realize that
its from the same home as the lit à la polonaise in the previous post…
but from a different source…
Love the fawn tones of the linen…
the heavy simplicity of fabric and form…
Furniture in the room a blend of Italian and Provençal furniture from 18th and
19th century. Notice the distinctive architectural elements: baroque styled
doorway and bookcase, the unique plaster arched ceiling supported by beams.
The doorway feature was modeled after the 18th century Venetian bookcase…
providing a lovely symmetry, height and color to either side of the fireplace…
More garden elements inside add to the informal ease of the space…
Antique Biot pot… originally used to store olive oil…here…a pair of
glass cloches on twin tables behind couch…Venetian gondolier lantern…

Back to the Veranda photos…
The shutters…the lovely volume of the
room carefully anointed with finds…
Parisian antique dealer Dominique Bénaed-Dépalle’s shop
Vivement Jeudi provided much of the furniture and objects….
Neutrals and tone on tone lifted
with trace of color and gilding…
Louis XV stone fireplace…
Antique Italian fauteuils in vintage damask…
Love the mix of gilded and patina laden baroque
with vintage metal tubs (like in this post here)
Procession lantern stands alongside the
18th century painted secretary…
View towards the dining room …
Italian chairs around simple wood table…
Italian gilt wood and metal chandelier…
Veranda photo of the daughter’s bedroom…
19th century bed with linen headboard…swathes of
cheesecloth looped from the beamed ceiling…
Provence Style of Living view of same room
at a different date…
Master bedroom…antique French bed…
carved Italian chairs…
baroque gilded chandelier over 19th century Swedish table
and 18th century French chairs…wall decorated
with Moustiers and Sarreguemine faience plates…
View of the late 17th to 18th century farmhouse…
