Thirty years after the publication of Peter Mayle’s bestselling memoir A Year in Provence, the sun drenched southern French region continues to excite home decorators with its combination of rustic charm, elegant details and historical influences. Provence Style showcases the best of the region, with Shauna Varvel’s quintessential 18th century Rhône valley farmhouse – Le Mas des Poiriers – as its centrepiece. Named for the working pear orchard on the grounds, the property was re imagined by noted local architect Alexandre Lafourcade, who transformed a rough structure into a luxurious expression of the Provençal aesthetic, referencing historical influences, rural traditions and Parisian taste. Set amidst a garden of allées, arbors and terraces designed by the architect’s mother, renowned landscaper Dominique Lafourcade, this exemplar of Provençal style is the starting point for exploring the region’s characteristic interior details and exterior features. The book continues with chapters on the public spaces of the home, from entrances to living rooms, the private realm of bedrooms and bathrooms, and outdoor areas including patios and kitchen gardens, transporting the reader on a captivating stylistic journey

    The façade of the house and the mantelpieces on the fireplaces were basically the only Provençal style i could identify in her house. The rest seemed a functional museum and i don't think it was that cozy although the tables were dressed beautifully. There were chunky motif fabrics and the cypressis that she is so proud of were imported from Italy and are fitting in Tuscany landscape. The pictures of other houses, we don't know if the owners like shabby chic or if it is Provence style, although i had an idea that Provence style was light, flowery and happy. Next time, i think i'll check on the author first and see if i like their style and knowledge.

    Ich hoffe Shauna Varvel und ihre Familie weiß das sie sich sehr glücklich schätzen können dieses wundervolle Haus, in dieser wunderschönen Landschaft ihr Eigen nennen zu dürfen und es jederzeit nutzen können!Es ist ein wirklich schöner Bildband über ein geschmackvoll ausgestattetes Anwesen, das wie ein Heim auf mich wirkt! Es muss traurig sein diese Gegend wieder zu verlassen, um in den Alltag zurück zukehren. Auch wenn Familie Varvel sicherlich noch andere schöne Häuser hat. So finde ich das die Gestaltung der Bastide "mas des poiriers" einfach stimmig ist. Am Besten hat mir die Gestaltung der Terrasse /Gartenanlage und dem Dekor, sowie dem der Stoffe, für die Kissen usw. zugesagt einfach atmosphärisch wie die Provence!Merci

    The book is charming and the first half is really lovely! The latter half feels a bit less lush. I am pleased to own it.
