Here are the real reasons

Yes, the house I'm in is beautiful. There's no doubt about it. But what makes it really killer is that there are parts that are totally unfinished! Full of possibility! Something I could really get into....know what I mean?

So there's this giant room above the living room that is sort of like a barn. In an awesome way. And right now there's just random stuff stored in there and then a little bed for when my uncle visits. I mean seriously, how many awesome things could you do with this space?


And then, the real piece de resistance, is what I've been calling the nest. It's up on the third floor with vaulted ceilings, skylights and just enough room to have a nice big desk along the wall, a bedroom and a bathroom. the place is flooded with light all the time and has a KILLER view.


Here's a kind of confusing collage of the space:



And then as an aside, just wanted to noted how freaking cool my grandmother is. Not only does she lounge in an Eames Lounger that she's had for years and years, but she has so much cool furniture that her ghost chair and rad fan/flower lamp are just sitting in the big room being stored:

Gosh, more!

A couple more. I'm having trouble editing down what I want to show. These give more of a sense of the other rooms in the house. But I have all of these pictures of the views from the windows and the town we're in and the grapes growing on vines but it's too much to put here. So if you'd like to see more, check out my flickr set.

The Kitchen

This is where I'm sitting now to share more pictures with you all. It honestly couldn't be more beautiful. The house is in Provence and more specifically is in a village called Goult. My dad bought the house recently to move my grandmother from Paris closer to the rest of the family. So technically it's for her, but really it's for the family because she only lives downstairs and there's a lot more to the house. It already feels like home to me. I look forward to visiting for many years to come.

And because if I shared as many pictures as i wanted to I would bore you all to death, here are pictures of the kitchen:









The kitchen is the heart of this home. It is the most beautiful, has the nicest view of the garden and gets the best light. I have so far spent a lot of time here.

Let's start with this, shall we?

The house is even more amazing than I had imagined. Much more to come. Including pictures of the equally enviable town the house is situated in. If I wasn't so jet lagged I'd be in absolute heaven.
