OPERATION NEW HOUSE!!

Une petite maison bien d'aujourd'hui courtesy of Marie Claire Maison 2008
La styliste Marthe Desmoulins et son compagnon ont transformé une maison du XVIIe en un espace lumineux et coloré, où l'esprit des cabinets de curiosité règne en maître.

I have been tweaking out to tunes with moving boxes and wrapping tape in hand because we DO have a sale in the works for our beloved village house! alas,I have been away from blogging but,still manage to visit yours!
For me,moving is always a mixed bag, full of conflicting feelings yet,on this note I will begin my gratitude list:
§ new opportunies for designing a huge living space in the grenier of our Napoleon III maison de maitre! beams galor!
§ happy entry with stairs!
§ fresh color schemes-uncanny,but true-we actually painted the rooms in a Laduréé palate!
§ garden more accessible with a chateau in view!


my thought for the day!!!!

“We have not even to risk the adventure alone; for the heroes of all time have gone before us; the labyrinth is thoroughly known; we have only to follow the thread of the hero-path. And where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a God; where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence; where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world.”

  4. Sounds so lovely! I so hope you will post some photos here on your new blog. No doubt, it is quite an endeavor but one you will surely make the best of! With Joseph Campbell as inspiration, how can we go wrong?! :)
