{décor inspiration : relaxed & refined in normandy}

. . . first came across this centuries-old home in normandy last november, and immediately fell head over heels, and so, was utterly thrilled to happen across it again, in the current issue of veranda; and while one is impossibly drawn to the allure of the leopard silk velvet canapé, there are still a myriad of beautiful things to captivate — the floors, [always, the floors], the gilded picture frames and cashmere throws, the antique bergères in stroheim suede, the grand chandeliers and palest shades of gray, and most of all, that perfect mix of relaxed & refined . . .

That is one gorgeous and stunning home…. I can but dream of living somewhere like that! Anywhere that has that many shelves for books is alright by me!

Living in this space would be an absolute dream. The leopard paired with those blue-grey walls could not be more perfect. xo, Jolie

I love this! This is a style I love, it’s so romantic and opulent, but like you mentioned, still relaxed. Beautiful.
Love your blog and instagram photos!
I love that leopard print, love-seat! So unexpected, but so fun!
I loved the first photo.. have never seen that kind of sofa though. how does it work? I love the mix of textures and materials.. elegantly mixed around.
This looks completely fantastic! So elegant, just love, love love!!
Wonderfully romantic spaces.
perfect words, very relaxed and lived in but still so polished! love.
gorgeous, and what a difference pink roses make in softening up the look of the place from one shoot to the next.
Often times I find myself drawn to a photo of a room and upon examination find that it’s really (mostly) the flowers that “make” the room…..
