gently French - 18th century living

After a busy week, I bring you a little gentleness and poetry in the form of this charming home, created from an 18th century mill, in the Loiret region, south of here.

I love the soft warm light, the gentle colours, the use of brocante pieces and of course the paintings, each one of which I covet!  An artist and a poet have restored the property, and used their brocante treasures to furnish every corner.

They laid dark flooring in the kitchen, and light or white wooden boards in the sitting room.  These are the collection of paintings I just love.  So precious these little painting hung together.
