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...
 |
| Via Tumblr |
or this...
 |
| Via Crush Cul de Sac |
or this... you can take your pick.
 |
| Via Segreto |
You will, of course, have your own bathrooms along these lines...
 |
| Via Pinterest |
... or these...
 |
| Via House and Leisure |
...or these.
 |
| Via lacrememagazine.co.uk |
After you've freshened up you will all join me for a fabulous dinner party.
 |
| Via popyacollar.co.za |
After a nice sleep in, we will set off...
 |
| Via makingamark.blogspot |
...to do some shopping at Brocante like this...
 |
| Via allesbrocante.nl |
...and this...
 |
| Via Eclectic Revisited |
... finding treasures like this...
 |
| Via Tara Bradford |
...and this.
 |
| Via Chic Provence |
We will have coffee breaks at sidewalk cafe's...
 |
| Via Provenceguide.co.uk |
...and lunch at restaurants with beautiful views.
 |
| Via Travelling Greener |
We will have down time, lounging beside the pool...
 |
| Via Tumblr |
....or spending time in my library which will be filled with beautiful books on decor, architecture, antiques, food, whatever interests you.
 |
| via twocherubsantiques.wordpress.com Some of you might like to do a cooking course... |
 |
| via paintingholidaycourses.co.uk |
... while others might prefer painting....
 |
| Via hoteldevigniamont.com |
...or wine tasting.
 |
| Via Pinterest |
We will of course have many wonderful meals together, indoors or out, and the one thing that is guaranteed is that we will do....

...lots of talking and laughing!
If only I was filthy rich!
Till next time
