The Tuscany project

Last year I wrote about the holiday home in Tuscany I’m working on with architect Domenico Minchili.

Our clients had some photos taken and below are a few of them.

First, a before shot of the living room.

After.

The room is so much lighter.  The new “old” floors make a huge difference as does the paint color.  I was consumed for days relating to which shade of Farrow & ball white was the best white for the  walls.  We made a decision to use Skimming Stone.

The chairs were custom-made made by Tondini & Radicchi. So were all the draperies in the house.

Wider shot of the living room.  The sofas, coffee table, and sconces are custom.

The studio.

This room receives little natural light.  lots of people assume that a small dark room need to be painted a very light color in buy to make it look bigger.  Not true.  It seems counter-intuitive but going darker gives a small room a lot more depth.

One of my Italian friends called this décor, “Relaxed Chic.”   another friend said it was “Casual Luxury.”  Both work for me.

Every bedroom, and its shower room is unique, yet the entire home is cohesive.

The paint is from Farrow & Ball.

Most of the new furniture was custom-made made.  We also sourced pieces from Flamant, Barthel, and small shops in Rome and Tuscany.

Our fabric sources were, Dedar, Ralph Lauren Home, Kathryn M. Ireland, and Pierre Frey.

If you would like to know the certain colors or a lot more information about the fabric or furniture, please feel complimentary to ask me in the comments section.

This property is available for holiday rental.  It’s in the heart of the Chianti region surrounded by vineyards.  The views are stupendous.

For a lot more information (and some exterior photos), please visit the luxury rental  Abercrombie & Kent website.
