Old Country House in France

Today, dears, I invite you to see this restored country house located in Orleans, a city in north-central France. It was built during the sixteenth century, and its owners preserved most of the original architectural features.

Guest House in France

We are back in Peru after our lovely winter holidays in Argentina. I thought it was going to be freezing cold but we had remarkably good weather.

Lets go on another home tour.

It took six years to restore this guest house called Un Coeur très Nature, and located in the valley of Vidourle, in southern France.

French Style in Catalonia

Hard to believe this farmhouse is not in France. Located south of Catalonia, Spain, the owners had it built to resemble the local architecture yet it radiates French country charm.

Renovated French Country House

Today I'm taking you to have a look at this beautifully restored house, furnished in a casual French country style. This home is so inviting I feel I'm walking through the rooms as I go from one pic to the next. Come and see them with me!




Hexagonal and square terra cotta tiles in most of the rooms for a rustic look.


One of the doors in the entrance hall has been decorated with a stenciled design. It also appears on the walls leading upstairs.


One side of the living room. The original beams were preserved.


On the other side of the living room, a collection of framed old photographs are displayed on the wall.




A conservatory style addition allows lots of natural light into the kitchen.




For a softer look, wood herringbone floor was used in the bedrooms.


A very feminine master bedroom.
