Earth To Millie?


Architect Robert Joyce created this exquisite masterpiece in the U.S. for clients who love all things French. It was conceived as a provincial farm village with the cluster of simple farm buildings housing various parts of the family's life. Sometime today you've got to find a few minutes to visit Joyce's website here - go to the Country Houses page & open the magical world of the Provincial Village house. There are 67 large, glorious images of this project & if my reaction yesterday to this visual treat is anything to go by, you'll be absolutely speechless. I'd love to hear your thoughts after you've come back to earth!

  1. I will definitely be headed there to check it out. It looks amazing just from the one photo.

    Hope you're doing well. I'm "starting" to get back to a regular routine after taking care of my father for 8 months (cancer). He passed away 2 weeks ago today. It's been difficult but it seems I've found a new avenue of creativity within my art. I wish my father could see it.

    Hugs to you. :)

  7. I wandered off on the happy cloud of that website and am back to thank you for pointing us towards it. The provincial farm makes normality look so unspeakably garish.

  10. I am in awe - really, I could live in any of them. I just need to remind myself that in pictures there are no bad smells, no bad neighbors, the dust never lands on the mantles or shelves and the dog never throws up on the bedroom rug. That's what I'll keep telling myself :>)
