L'Ambiance

It's no secret that I love adore am head over heels

about two beautiful European regions:

Tuscany and Provence.

 I love rustic elegance.

It feels so comfy, so homey, cozy, lived in, historical,

inviting, and okay, I can go on and on

 (yes, go ahead, you can yawn if you are bored at this point).

Tuscany and Provence remind me of the places

where I grew up in Buenos Aires and also of my European ancestors.

The images below are of L'Ambiance,

a gorgeous, vacation home
located in the 17th Century village of Goult,

in the Luberon region of Provence.

You can actually stay in this place for the not so small sum

of 4,500 Euros per week. Ouch.

And again...ouch.

I wish I could imitate this same style in my home.

For instance, look at this amazing stucco structure around the fireplace:

Calming neutral tones, upholstered chairs, and

an understated stone/tile floor. I'm in love.

Here's another view of that room

where you can see the exposed ceiling beams.

A beautiful stone wall serves as the backdrop

for the wrought iron canopy bed in the master bedroom...

This is a great example of what I mean by rustic elegance:

A neutral palette, tile floors, a graceful ladder-back chair,

a simple window, and an attractive bathtub.

No fuss, no clutter.

No glam, no sparkle.

But for me, this bathroom still shines...

The rest of the home is as inviting, including the outdoor spaces...

And as if the charm in this home

wasn't already enough...it's surrounded by this...

All I have to say is
Vive la Provence!

 I now want one of those bathtubs.

Besos,
