An old french farmhouse restored in style

This is French restoration at its stylish and contemporary best.  Traditional and antique pieces are

 used freely but there is nothing antique to the feel of this family home in the South of France.

From a derelict stone farmhouse, the owners have created a chic, comfortable and modern family home.

They haven't been afraid to use colour (just love the three tones of pink on the canapé),

 they have chandeliers in every room, I'd like to see a little more furnishing in this living room,

but let's say that with time that will happen.

The bedrooms are calm and neutral, showing off the wooden beams and stone walls.

Architectural elements are used for fun, like this mantel simply

 posed against the wall instead of as a working fireplace.

But my favourite space is this dining room, low dark ceiling, an odd mix

 of comfy dining chairs and a long table to share.
