Caption: cerdon, france On my last trip to France I had the pleasure of visiting this incredible farmhouse in the Loire Valley. Situated on a quiet road, surrounded by farmland + woods, this serene, historic home is filled with treasures.
I had the honor of a personal tour from the homeowner herself, who told me the stories behind each of her collections and unique pieces. The quintessential french country decor is all her own doing, and each room is welcoming + elegant.

Caption: The owner and I had so much in common - we could have talked for days. She is a romantic like myself, and between our mutual love of France, design, travel and antiques, there was no shortage of conversation.
Her broken English + my broken French couldn't stop us from connecting on a level that transcends language. It is an experience that I'll never forget.
