Style Notes
Mid-century modern. Bright, light and cozy with a soft color palette, parquet flooring in the living room and warm wooden floorboards in the bedrooms. Vintage finds are paired with modern treasures to provide an eclectic mix with an overarching Mid-century vibe. Book-filled shelves, handpicked art works and colorful textiles add character and homeliness, inviting guests to fully relax. Every room has a window on the garden creating a feeling of peace and tranquility throughout. We love the living room’s floor to ceiling glass doors, drawing in a welcome breeze in the summer and pretty garden views all year round.
