Saturday House of Inspiration - rustic villa

I am captivated this week by this beautiful stone country house. What an amazing entry (above) - the arched stone doorway flanked by giant cast iron urns takes my breath away! I love the row of french doors opening onto an iron balcony above.

Look at these patched stone walls and flagstone floors (above and below)! All the timber lintels and ceiling beams have been painted a French grey, which ties in perfectly with the painted French and Swedish furniture. I adore the juxtaposition of the ornate antiques against the rustic building, and the amazing crystal chandelier hanging from antique beams.

It’s the little things that appeal to me here: I love the simple modern light fitting and iron curtain rails above, and the insertion of columns into the walls and corner below. And that window!! It’s what dreams are made of.

This last pic isn’t from the same house but to me it has a similar feel, pairing french antiques with rough stone walls and stripped timber floor. But my favourite thing is the staircase in the reflection - heavenly!!

Have a wonderful weekend, see you next week!

    Wow! Another dream home you have found to make us all drool. Did you notice the width of the floorboards? Huge. Thanks again for sharing your exquisite taste with us. Keep them coming. Best of luck with your canvas. I’m sure your pull something great off. With your talent and confidence, after all it’s in your blood, what could go wrong?
