French Home in Tourain

It's off to France today my friends. Located in Tourain, this home belongs to Virginia and Jean-Marc who roam garage sales and flea markets in search of furniture and ornaments in the Gustavian style they love. Jean-Marc restores their treasures and then Virginia gives them the final patina.

French Farmhouse

This century old farmhouse was bought and brought back to life by a young couple in 1992. Travelers and bargain hunters, Xavier and Morgan have filled their home with objects purchased mostly in flea markets they came across while traveling.

French Antiques and Flea Market Finds

This house, located in a small village only an hour away from the centre of Paris, used to be a barn and was restored and transformed by Monique, owner of Pigwidgeon, a decorating company. She lives here with her husband and two sons. Every room is brimming with beautiful 18th century antiques and flea market finds. French an whimsical through and through.

White House in Spain

Hello, dears! Happy Belated Easter to all of you!

I did not post these last four days because I wasn't feeling quite well after my fall last Thursday. I'm much better now and I'd like to thank you for your warm comments. (I promise I'll wear a helmet next time I get on a skateboard!)

So, back to posting it is and I'm taking you to visit a renovated house located a mere 15 kilometres from Madrid. This dreamy house was decorated by Spanish interior designers Lola and Candy Mediavilla. Mostly white and sand colours, with touches of black which give it a more masculine look.
