The front porch entrance to The Marston Houseidyllic:adj. pleasing or picturesque in natural simplicity. Well, I reckon the folk at The Marston House have the idyllic market cornered! So for starters how about a fabulous antique store on Main Street in Wiscasset, an historic 18th century village in gorgeous coastal Maine. Add a stunning B&B in the refurbished Carriage House at the rear of the store. Oh, & then there's the historic, restored apartment on Rue de Republique in Bonnieux to escape to. In the Luberon, an hour from Marseilles & about 45 minutes from Aix-En-Provence or Avignon - could it get any better. C'est la bonne vie!

Millie, I'm on the lookout for a new hall table & that pine top work table exactly fits the bill! Wish it was here in Oz. You're right, Marston House certainly looks idyllic. Wish I could visit. Beautiful images. Have a great day. Lee :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place. This is just the kind of look that I'm going for at my cottage. It looks so effortless but I'm finding it's difficult to choose more texture than color!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the Luberon! Idyllic is the perfect word to describe it.
ReplyDeleteWow Millie, did you stay in Bonnieux? I was there for my Easter holidays!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week.
