I’m excited to show you the
house of my friends and clients Jessica and Filippo here in Umbria, Italy. I love their home because they
integrate all the important elements to make a home alive and full of love,
amazing food (lots of parties) books galore, art all over the walls, music hard rock, rap, jazz and classical and Filippo and their twin daughters all play
musical instruments.

Sette Design ruby red vases |
A while back
I painted this interior. I think
the color choice of pale moss green and faded rose pink (decided before the
rose gold I-phone came out!) is a splendid combination that works well in this
environment. Who couldn’t love a home that has glass French doors everywhere
opening up to a classic Italian terrace.
The very cool website Chairish
suggested I do a blog post showing how to style mixed chair designs at the
dinning room table. You can find
their Vintage Chairs here, it is a good source if you are looking for something
special.
I like the look of mixed wooden European cafe chairs
at the table and also mixing up unmatched antique silverware with old
linens. Here I assembled the look
with the uniformity of red vases.
Jessica has an incredible collection of red vases she picks up in her
travels.
The faded green and pink
hydrangeas are the icing on the cake.

I'm linking with these parties:
Hi, Natalie. I like the idea of mixing styles of old chairs, too. I have not managed to do so in my own dining room and it is really dumb because I have a garage full of vintage dining chairs! They all need something -- like repair and of course, cleaning or painting and when do I have time to do that?
ReplyDeleteI like the paint combination, too. And, oh, those beautiful shutters. And all the French doors...lovely.
I love getting posts from you from Italia! So many interesting things and scenery to look at.
Bye for now. Naomi S.
