The house next door is nearly completed. Rene is not sitting in the corner other than to put in the electrical plugs. The layers of chaux (lime) paint Rene (the contractor, artisan, clever one man show…) was stripping layers of wallpaper and eventually came to layers of paint. I love the effect so I had him keep two walls intact creating a Monet like painting.
The massive 1800s French doors I found. I will give you one guess where I found them
Yes at the:
B R O C A N T E
The doors led in to the bathroom where the giant copper tub is residing.
Straight across from the Monet Wall is the kitchen, I am standing in the space before the doors.
The bottom floor has a large open space kitchen living room and a bath room. Upstairs is a very large bedroom. Altogether it is 700 square feet.
We are renting it out for week or longer stays to friends and family. Our steady flow of guests will have their own space to hang out.
Decorating is around the corner and I cannot wait to unload the things accumulating in our house.
The early 1900s oil painting (also a brocante find) depicts the landscape of the region. It looks tiny compared to the boxes of tools though it is nearly four feet wide.
