FRENCH FINESSE – A CHARMING COUNTRY MANOR!

November 15, 2011
  • Share
Pink and grey foyer in a French mansion with stone tile floor, lantern light, double doors leading to the living room and an arched cabinet

Perche is a bucolic district just two hours south of Paris.  Known for its rolling hills, chateaus and manors, Perche is known for being an idyllic country setting.  Here in Perche sits this country manor…with its classic architecture and decor.  Texture, patterns and subtle color are the order of the day in this home’s interior design…all blending together to create a classic French home.

Pink and grey living room in a french mansion with black sofa, two pink wingback chairs, a marble fireplace wth a traditiona mirror, paneled doors, chandelier covered in leaves and a long grey ottoman
Classic architecture complete with decorative moldings, a marble fireplace and paneled doors gets a modern twist with the grey, black and pink color palette. (above)
A sitting area with classic Toile de Jouy wallpaper, two blue chairs white white nailhead trim around a small round table and a large cabinet with glass doors

A large black kitchen island contrasts perfectly with the grey cabinetry throughout this large country kitchen (oh and notice the pink trash can too!)(above)
bedroom in a french mansion with pink and grey wallpaper, a painted checkered wood floor, a white fireplace, paneled doors and a Louis XIV chair
A checkered painted wood floor in soft grey and pink adds visual interest to the bedroom floor. (above)

My favorite room is the kitchen and then comes the foyer.  I would happily take this house if someone offered it to me.  Would just need to figure out how I would do my day job from France! 🙂

What do you think of this home?  Like it or leave it?  Please advise!

Happy Tuesday!

    the kitchen is also my favorite room, it’s just gorgeous, I don’t know if it has to do with the island being a different color, because now that is my thing, or if it’s because of the grey, that is MY color.

    I really love the kitchen. The contrast of the dark island with the light cabinetry makes things really beautiful. And the touches of gold really warm things up!

    It’s beautiful – all of it, very appropriate to a country home/manor! I could get used to it 😀

    Gray and pink is always a winning combination–tres chic! I love the painted floor but I’m wondering when the travertine floor was added. French limestone would have been a better choice. Otherwise, the spaces are lovely with many interesting architectural details.

    Best, Cindy

    What a beautiful home. i love the touches of pink and the pink walls. I tend to choose a brighter shade pf pink myself because of the harsh sunlight here in Texas.

This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

Panic mode activated!
If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things:
1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner.
2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows.
3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor.
That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.
Save this for the next time you need a fast bedroom reset. 🔖

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤

Life when I’m offline. 🎣 On this trip to Park CitLife when I’m offline. 🎣
On this trip to Park City, UT, I was way off line with a little fly fishing. No emails. No DMs. No feed. Just a rod, a beautiful river, and however long it takes to catch something.
Running two brands means my brain rarely stops so when it does, it really does.
No fish were harmed. All fish were returned into the river.
What do you do when you log off? Comment and let's give each other some ideas!😀
