. . . every year at this time, always and irresistibly drawn to dusky neutrals and rich textures — exposed ceiling beams and washed floorboards, luxe velvet and stacks upon stacks of firewood, always perfectly paired, of course, with glittering chandeliers; and while always quite adored wicker in the summertime, had not imagined how lovely wicker ottomans and armchairs could be in the colder months, next to fireplaces and perfect for apéritifs on chilly & cozy november nights . . .
{p.s.} more wicker:
* summer to autumn
* paint-dipped baskets
* afternoons in the park & here & here
* breakfast in paris

I love this house, I could live in there forever…

Have a nice weekend

So amazing. The thick plank hardwood floors really give it a cozy feel.
So gorgeous and dreamy…..
I am such a fan of old hardwood floors and these are amazing!!
Lovely!
Gorgeous -l’m a complete sop for stacked wood. It makes me feel all safe and cozy!
The juxtaposition of the glittery and the rustic is fascinating and makes you want to tour room after room. An interesting concept, wicker in the colder months!
oh. my. so pretty! Thanks for sharing.
I am REALLY loving chandeliers in rustic settings lately. Good find.
Such a glamorous, curved stairway -isn’t it? And how sensational is the metalwork and glass on the beautiful candelabra. Gorgeous. It all makes me long for a bit of mulled wine and a dashing companion…

Love these images as well, especially the first – the combo of the modern casement window with the metal stair rails and the rustic floor and beams – fabulous. It’s the mix that you always nail so well!
This is sheer brilliance…I am so in love with this idea. The feeling is almost cabin-like but with added charm and elegance. It is perfectly magical for a beautiful and cozy winter setting.
Your descriptions…”apéritifs on chilly & cozy november nights” just take me away as always.
Thank you for a beautiful start to my November Monday!
