A New Life In France…or not!
If you have been following me for a while you may know that in 2020 we sold up and moved to France with plans of renovating an old boarding house and chalet. We got quite far with the chalet renovation but 2 years in we ran out of steam and got very homesick and decided to return to the UK (head over to my blog if you’d like to know more about our little French adventure).. We sold the chalet and We are now happily established back in the UK. however we still have the main house in France.
It’s taken a while to work out our vision but it is clear now. I would like to create a showcase for our art. A house where each room is immersed in paintings, wallpapers, hand painted furniture, screens and decorative features. Ideally with a big art studio. Think something along the lines of Charleston House or William Morris’ Red House. The end goal is to open it up for art residencies, retreats, an inspiring art filled space for artists, writers and creatives to meet and share ideas.
This is possible in the French house but also a lot more complicated than doing it on UK soil as we no longer live in France . Selling up and starting over with the vision in the UK is perhaps more straightforward.
If you fancy living in France and carrying on what we have started at this wonderful house so full of potential get in touch. Or if you know someone looking to buy a big house or run a B&B in rural France please tell them about us!
