I love her penchant for ornate desks and chests.
I’d be content with just a little chip of one of these beautiful painted pieces.
She had a total of nine gardens, each with a different influence : Spanish, Florentine, Japanese, Stone, Exotic, Rose Provencal, Sévres and French.

I have read about this stunning property and I really should now add it to my must-visit list now that I have seen your photos. The gardens are exquisite as is the car!
PS The Boating Party has always been one of my favourites too. I'm sure it was one of the Renoir's I saw in the Muusée d'Orsay a few years ago.

You made my day, Emily! I love everything here (who wouldn't) and the painting is stunning.
Happy Thursday.

Emily my jaw is still dropped in awe. Thank you so so much for sharing this wondrous palace! I too love the exquisite details on all of the chests.

Fell in love with the place in 1997 when I first toured it! So much so that I had a mural of it painted in my foyer.

You know, I can't bear that place! It's so gaudy and ostentatious, I think it's horrendous but the gardens and the view ah – they do indeed revive me.
"just imagine"? Uh. Yeah!
Having the run of these gardens hosting friends and family…. dreaming, is how we make what we can afford special.
Cheers!
The luncheon painting is in all its glory at the phillips collection in Washington dc.
I remember the musical fountains in the gardens.
And the lovely outdoor patio restaurant.
I miss it, going back in September!
