Girly

These images are from the home of Jane Whitfield, Englishwoman living in the French countryside and right-hand-woman to little known fashion darling Marc Jacobs (wink, wink). Typically, I am not a girly, girl when it comes to interiors. I suppose I could point the blame at the four men I live with, but truthfully I've just never been all that "in to" frills and lace and dainty, delicate furnishings. But, this home is just so pretty I simply could not resist.

Perhaps it's the balance of weathered wood and soft greys and beautiful light that draws me in. And of course, the romantic setting doesn't hurt. I just really like these lovely rooms.

Now that being said, I must admit that my favorite room is the very last shot. Not so girly, but come on- that hunky solid-as-can-be, be-still-my-throbbing-heart Astier de Villatte table of my dreams, malachite-hued Herman Miller chairs and simple, earthy concrete floor. This one is a sure fire winner in my book. And the chairs people, well the couple found those in a rubbish pile awaiting trash pick-up! Hello! Let me just say, if any of you have a set of mid-century beauties to dispose of, please, please I implore you, call me. Do. Not. put them out on the curb unless they are awaiting my immediate pick up.
