Now we are staying here until Saturday and then we are finally going back to Brazil. Long, loong, lovely holidays!
Today I'd like to show you this Provencal house perched on a hillside with views of the village of Ramatuelle in France. It belongs to Stephane Olivier, an antique dealer who likes to mis styles, subjects and periods.
A Napoleon wrought iron garden chair and table on the terrace.
A mora clock stands next to a Swedish buffet side table. Above it hangs a Jules Didier 19th century painting called "The Gardener". The lamp was designed from a wooden boot.
As much as I love this house and its style, I wouldn't dream of placing a stuffed porcupine in the kitchen... nor anywhere else!
Interesting and unusual place to place a candle.
Leaning against the crumbling wall, an old carpenter's bench serves as a console with a pair of candles on it. Under the pergola, the mismatched chairs are Italian.

A porcupine. In the kitchen. Maybe it's not dead and is there to help scrub pots and pans?
ReplyDeleteIt could happen.
I love that- scrub the pots with the porcupine- funny! Or use it as a boot scraper on rainy, muddy days!
ReplyDeleteNice to see you again, Kifus! Seriously, don't go so long- I miss you! I liked The Gardener painting and wondered if there was "The Poolboy" to match???!!! Lovely home and gardens.
We had our twins today- all went well with the delivery. I have the other 2 boys and I AM TIRED! We have yet to see the babies as they are testing them. In a couple hours, I think! Boy, life is exciting! And my youngest just announced her engagement with a May wedding! Yikes~ I'll never blog again. Good to have you back. You're part of my therapy!
Wow, you must have gotten snow in those travels. My Sis-in-law got 19 inches in NJ and my sis got two storms back to back so they have over 30 inches in Connecticut!
ReplyDeleteA stuffed porcupine! Yikes! how weird!
Ohh Lisa, how lovely that the twins have arrived! What a lot of great news! How are you coping with the boys? You must sleep well at night...exhausted after taking care of them all day! Hope the twins are doing fine!
