The leopa...So beautiful and definitely comfortable. The leopard print on the sofa has converted me! My mother preached that leopard was tacky. But she's not here to see it when i get a leopard print throw! I'm not partial to green indoors, but I think I could live with the green in this home. (I'm of the opinion that a house is a house and a home is a house with people living in it...different creatures) as in If it's available for sale and not being lived in, it's a house. But then I'm old fashioned with sterling silver flatware and dinner service for 12 and white linen ironed tablecloths. Thanks for sharing this delightful space......MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06171298003754368826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-73794716742822348072016-10-11T08:27:51.302-04:002016-10-11T08:27:51.302-04:00Thank you, Penelope!Thank you, Penelope!The Peak of Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811933436075145329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-91083348066684416032016-10-10T20:26:59.437-04:002016-10-10T20:26:59.437-04:00Here, here!Here, here!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-16671446490572937712016-10-10T18:18:58.244-04:002016-10-10T18:18:58.244-04:00These are lovely, timeless rooms!

It's the same thing with white-tablecloth restaurants. They can be just as comfy and cozy as a casually-furnished restaurant, though in a different way. I don't understand why so many people are down on establishments with white tablecloths.The Peak of Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811933436075145329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-25973630005305552352016-10-10T13:29:48.622-04:002016-10-10T13:29:48.622-04:00I totally agree! The older I get (and I'm far...I totally agree! The older I get (and I'm far older than you, my dear!), the more prettiness and comfort are my guiding forces when decorating rooms in which one lives. Now in kitchens and bathrooms, function and practicality must trump everything, but they can still be very attractive, just more minimalist for cleanliness reasons. <br /><br />To me, a home should be a refuge from the ugliness and vulgarity of the world today - a place to replenish ones soul. I will never understand people who say that a holiday table should be "casual so it won't be stuffy". The only thing that makes a table stuffy are stuffy boring guests! One can be just as spontaneous and joyful at a table set with beautiful linens, china and silver. All this worship at the great god of casualness is nothing more than an excuse for sloth. <br /><br />While these rooms may not be my personal taste (I'm far more English in my approach to design, not French), they are lovely and as one comment said, "soothing". That green is a lovely color and the rooms are indeed very soothing, even if formal.srbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02856563845261571825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-74755021123245144612016-10-10T11:37:55.314-04:002016-10-10T11:37:55.314-04:00That library is so cozy-looking.

The photos you have posted are timeless, elegant and very comfortable looking to me. I could spend hours reading in that cozy library. Thank you so much for the post.
