Relaxed Contemporary Meets Old School Charm In A French Chateau
Have you ever dreamt of buying a French chateau and doing it up? It’s definitely a (pipe) dream of mine! Isabelle and Hubert Dubois-Dumée have spent two years doing up their home and the results are truly inspiring. Rather than opting for a fusty, traditional style, the chateau has been given a new lease of life with a contemporary rustic vibe. Pea green doors and architraves have been combined with walls that have been peeled back to reveal layers of the past and the furniture is a perfect blend of contemporary, rattan and vintage. A single chandelier offers a hint of old-school grandeur and tells the story of an opulent past. Welcome to Chateau de Dirac

I absolutely loved the downstairs area of this apartment in particular. That green is something else! I’m not sure I would have thought of it – but it looks wonderful in this space! 
Is there anything that caught your eye? 
You can see more pictures of this wonderful chateau here and visit Isabelle and Hubert’s shop over at Les Petites Emplettes
Similar, equally inspiring places to brighten up your week:
Oh la la! 
We’re still out sailing (currently in Karlskrona) and the weather is not really showing its best side so we’re trying to make the most of it with good food, wine and lots of board games! What are you up to this summer?
Have a wonderful start to the week friends!
