Interior Decorating, Home Design, Room Ideas

Good Monday morning to all of you dear readers!

Back in April 2010 I featured the work of oh so talented photographer Robin Stubbert. I'm not quite sure what happened but after some time the pics looked fuzzy so I have deleted that post and am making a new one with the same photographs and some new ones she has added to her site as well.
Robin specializes in interiors, still life, gardens and lifestyle, and books and magazines.
Come enjoy with me!

More beautiful photographs in Robin's portfolio right here.

Packed your bags already? Today I'm taking you to the village of Lourmarin where we will tour a restored eighteenth century large farmhouse. I can't believe this beauty is called "House of Hens". It sounds far better in French of course which is "Bastide Galinier." Yes, definitely much better. With the help of local craftsmen, owners Isabelle and Edouard Loubet brought new life to this two story Provencal property surrounded by three hectares of park.

The garden vegetation seems to be overflowing into the terrace.

Beautiful vaulted ceiling. Open floor plan for the living room and dining room. The huge, arched window brings the garden into the room.

Modern lines in the kitchen. The table is mounted on casters and fits snugly into the island. It can easily be added to the side of the main dining table to seat more guests.


The old fireplace in the kitchen was preserved. Burgundy enamel tiles for the backsplash. Blue and red chairs add colour.


The staircase is decorated with pottery jugs.




Typically French, the bath sits inside the bedroom. A small lavatory stands beside an antique claw foot bathtub.


Anitque furniture in the master bedroom.


Bath area at the other end of the bedroom with wood panelling.

This bright summer house is located in La Toja which is a little island not far from the Galician mainland. Interior designer Carla Rotaechetenían decorated the rooms.


Tall windows ensure lots of light in the living room. Warmth is achieved with a seagrass rug, a pair of unusual wicker rocking chairs, the trumeau and coffee table with a distressed appearance and an assortment of colourful pillows on the white sofas.


Painted white, the staircase blends into the room.


The TV is on a small table with casters to roll away to other rooms.


Iron frame table and deck chairs for this rustic dining room. The window leads to the kitchen.


The kitchen is quite narrow but gets lots of light through a window that connects it to the dining room. So convenient to get the dishes on the table without having to go all the way round.


Hand painted fabric covers the headboard in the master bedroom.


Curtains were hung on the inside of the linen cupboard.


The children's room, bright and young in different shades of blue. White painted rattan headboards.

Another post today for you my friends! Located in the Picardy countryside between Reims and Paris this house was built in 1650 and originally the house attached to a vineyard. A young couple decided to restore it but kept the antique feel in every room. This is how it turned out.



The brick walls were left exposed. Sulptured boxwood, antique lanterns and watering cans decorate the doorsteps.


Most of the items used in the decoration are antique as these glass jars and bells.


The living room floors are new with stone slabs and square black marble. Louis XV armchair.


The living room viewed from another angle. The chaise lounge is covered in toile de Jouy.


The dining room table is set with faience plates.


A collection of candlesticks displayed above the marble fireplace. The chest is Louis XVI


Vintage scales on the cooking range.


Copper pots, vintage glass jars and wire egg baskets all add to the antique atmosphere.


A wreath made with corks hangs on the kitchen door.


Original staircase.


The same toile de jouy appears in the master bedroom.


Porcelain sink and clawfoot bathtub.


Pale blues for this small boy's bedroom.

I'd love to know what you think about this style! Happy Tuesday to you my dears!
