provence chic

I just love these photos featured in a French magazine, of a beautiful house in Provence.  Love the colours, the choice of materials, the blending in of antique furniture without feeling stilted.   It  shouts murmurs gently comfort, farniente, la belle vie!

Muslin curtains around the bed feel soft.

Wonderful enfilade here, with the blue grey of the farthest curtains echoed in the painting on the wall.

This rounded ceiling is typical of the position of an old bread oven.  Here

they've used it cleverly to house kitchen cabinets and 

a delightfully irregular wall of plates.

What a bold bed, heavy draperies, silk cushions, opulence!

This picture being slightly out of focus seems to add to the

intimacy, and the gentle effect of the colours.

Another great enfilade, love the wooden mounting over the doorway.
