RÉNOVATION~Love

Hi! I just started searching through piles of my periodicals looking for just the right pieces to go in my new Château and I had to stop. I forgot I even had a copy of Maisons & Decors Méditerranée magazine from 4 years ago and started flipping through it I found this lovely Maison which was recently renovated. I had to share & let everyone see into Fenêtres ouvertes sur un tapis ~ DE SANTOLINES (translated means something like this???Open windows on a rug ~ Of Santolines) Which sounds so beautiful especially after looking at this picture with lovely lavender and perfectly aligned cypress trees sitting on a "rug" of pebbles.


Pleeeze be patient with me after two years of High School French, one year in college and a bit actually over in France I speak "No" french. hehe
Parle vous l'anglais?;o)

With special care this former distressed farm was renovated both internally and externally with beautiful terraces and cut gardens. Simply BEAUTIFUL!!! Ohhh how I wish this were mine. lol. I love, everything!

Would anyone like to join me for some wine on my veranda? I'll bring some food also. hehe

Some picture from the inside. The hall is really nice. The beautiful beams are great! I would like to see a bit more color. Perhaps some blue and white tile in the kitchen?

These doors are to die for! And I have to comment on the little window. How charming!

This staircase is from another article but I had to post it. At the landing you get to choose ~ Do I go left or do I go right? That is really why I love staircases just because we never really know where they lead. Unless we have walked them before.

I hope everyone enjoys this lovely home. Now, I need to get back to working on my Château.

Au revoir! ~Miss Kris~

That first photo is my quintessential idea of a driveway to an old Chateau. Great photos.
