Provencal Framhouse

This typical Provencal stone farmhouse is located in Aigaliers, a village in the Gard, near Uzès, in the south of France. You might think it's been standing here for centuries but it is actually a new construction. Decorated with antiques and vintage pieces, its spaces take you back in time.


A stone staircase outside leads to a guest room.


This small terrace is right outside a guest room and at the top of the stone stairs we saw in the previous picture.


A warm dining room with a massive step-in fireplace with room enough for the fire and a chair. Indian cotton tablecloth.




Satin pillows on a wrought iron bed by the fireplace in the large living room.




The bathroom, entirely done by Richard Goullet, opens to the left on a wall with rounded lines behind which hides a spacious shower. Terra cotta tiles. The full length curtain brushing the floor adds drama though I think they are not such a good idea in a bathroom!

Catherine Sack and Annie Jackson's Shop

Holly Park is owned by sisters Catherine Sack and Annie Jackson. A shop brimming with lovely vintage items which change with the seasons. During winter there will be gifts and Christmas decorations. In spring you'll find fresh potted daffodils, a selection of quilts, cushions and accessories. Summer is Provence with lavender filled enamel jugs, old painted baskets filled with meadow flowers and sachets with scented rose buds. Their products are sourced from all over Europe.
The first and last four pictures are of their shop. The ones in between are shabby chick style interiors furnished with their items.
