If I were filthy rich.... I'd buy a crumbling ruin like this somewhere in the French countryside.
| Via Pretty Stuff |
I would restore it...

....to it's former glory.
| Via Segreto |
I would ask Leslie and her team from Segreto to work their magic on the walls.
| Collage by Roses and Rust |
I would buy beautiful furniture and fittings...
| Via Acquired Objects |
and I hope Debra from Acquired Objects would supply me with some of her exquisite antique tapestries and textiles.
| Via Providence Ltd |
I would ask Mona and Talena from Providence Ltd Design to help me put it all together.
| Via La Brocanteuse |
All the bed linen and table linen would be vintage French from my friend Colette from La Brocanteuse.

Then once everything was set I would send invitations to all of you to come and stay for a week or longer if you could spare the time.
| Via Providence Ltd |
I wonder if Mona would lend me her driver to collect you all at the airport... (see here)
