Monday Musings : If I were filthy rich...

Via Tumblr


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...


Via Tumblr

....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.


Via Etsy

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)


Via Louis Vuitton

...mine seems to have mislaid the car!

Via Tumblr

You would be greeted on arrival with French Champagne...


Via Tumblr

... and then shown to your rooms which will look something like this...

Some of you might like to do a cooking course...

... while others might prefer painting....

We will of course have many wonderful meals together, indoors or out, and the one thing that is guaranteed is that we will do....
