Cheeky ending to the tour there!

But isn’t this place just so charming?

It just goes to show that if you have the time and patience, hunting for second hand treasures can really pay off! When I was little my Mum used to take us to auctions at the weekends (I remember the huge halls being very cold!) – and she still has many of the items we bought today.

I might just scour the flea markets and antique fairs here in Southern Sweden this weekend… it’s something I definitely don’t do enough of.

Are you a fan too?

Another thing I’m keen to point out is that this space would actually have been relatively dark had it not been for the skylights, internal glass wall dividers and mirrors – all of which are clever ways to bounce the light around.

Find out more about Les Pénates and book a stay here. There’s also a great write-up about the property over at The Socialite Family.

Other French delights:

A relaxed, vintage-inspired home in the French countryside
A charming white and neutral family home in Normandy
A wonderful, relaxed family home in the heart of the Beaujolais wine country

Oh la la!

I hope you enjoyed this tour as much as I did!
