Manor in France

Good morning Friday, good morning dear readers.

Light Locations is a photographic location agency providing beautiful, inspiring lifestyle locations to the film/TV and photographic industry. One of their featured properties is this magnificent residence in France which dates back to 15th Century. It is called Manoir des Rosiers. If you like period homes with rustic floors, stone walls, marble fireplaces, antique furniture, exposed beams, well the works, then this post is dedicated to you.




This foyer is gorgeous. The floors seem to be original and I love the Mora clock.


The petite glass cabinet won't last long on the small table with rickety legs! Look at the hand painted wood settee!


My grandpop used to have a glass dome clock like the one on the mantel.




I would have straightened the lamp shade. Look at that trunk! Beautiful!




Bathtub and washbasin in the bedroom. Typical of old homes.
















Yet another tub in a bedroom.

Home Renovation: We Have Begun

Our third floor renovation project has begun!
We are adding two bedrooms, a full bath, and a "lounge" in the center.
Rather than waiting until the project is finished to show "before" and "after" shots, I decided to take you along the journey with me from beginning to end. I am excited to work with Jeff Graeber of Graeber Homes l.l.c., to make this third floor a beautiful space to live in!
The first step was adding the three double dormer windows.
Ahh... let the afternoon light shine on in!

Mike Laroche and his team are amazing and
their attention to detail is perfection!
We are off to a great start.
Stay tuned. This room will be transformed into Beautiful Living!

Home Renovation: Natural Lighting

If you want an inviting room... let the light in!
We are finishing off our attic to add two bedrooms, a full bath, and a common room. Instead of putting the dormers on the front of our house, we are adding double dormer windows on the back.
The sunlight will pour into the once dark attic.
More to come with this project.
For now, enjoy these images that use natural light in attics.
