Understated French Elegance

This house is in France, but near the Belgian border.
 The use of oversized mirrors, leaning up against a wall, give the illusion that the rooms are not as big as they really are.
 What a magical oven. Those cake stands under the island.....
 I love the use of space, the height, and the grand scale of the furniture


 The use of oversized mirrors are a focal point, yet not too distracting from the rest of the home
How beautifull to see pretty french dining chairs against a solid rustic timber table.

Breathless










Thought I'd share with you a few of my favourite photos that actually made me forget to breathe for a few seconds...... I was so in awe by every detail....

Château de Moissac

Built in a hill-top village, a refuge for lovers of ancient stones...In the early 17th century, the Château de Moissac-Bellevue was a residence dedicated to relaxation, owned by a noble family from Provence.



In June 2008 the remarkable transformation achieved by the owners was rewarded by the "Prix des Vieilles Maisons Françaises"  a prestigious prize created to recognise high quality restoration.









The Château de Moissac is available for for photo shoots, corporate seminars and  private receptions.
