elegant and French in grey

by Sharon Santoni
Simple elegance, the way we like it.
Clean cut, good light, neutral tones
Nothing showy, authentic materials

I love the peeks through the garden doorways – the combination of the grey with the lush greens of the foliage is spectacular! have a great weekend. x

I love the courtyard of this home. My house has a large gravel courtyard where cars can enter, drop off people and groceries and turn around, This gave me a brilliant idea…just to drive my dear husband crazy…more boxwoods and plantings that would look beautiful in the center of the courtyard. Thanks for the inspiration. On my way for a few days in Dordogne very soon to visit the countryside and gardens…

I love the kitchen, a great stove and then simple curtained cabinets to compliment. Not fussy at all.
The backsplash and beam look wonderful too. All simple but classy.

Grey is my favorite colour for walls lately. It's so versatile. Love these photos of French homes.

Bon weekend, Sharon!

Backsplash and beam are wonderful! The gray is very depressing, however!
