“Fiction teaches us that the sorrows of living are meaningful. Fiction restores the meaning. The experience which is being lived day by day may seem futile, destructive because the vision of totality is lacking. In the novel it acquires a pattern. It is fiction. It reaches beyond pain to the pattern of meaningfulness which consoles us for all the agonies, and uncovers elevations.”

Anaïs Nin, from The Diary of Anaïs Nin: Volume Five 1947-1955

Floralia, 1898

RAPTURE

Annemarie is a set designer, event styler, and decorator. This is the entry hall- it’s her “homage to Versaille” and only a preview of the awesomeness to come. 

The sitting room. Annemarie likes to buy antiques from various places, including boot fairs. Great trompe l’oeil wallpaper.

This is The Snug next to the kitchen. The 1950′s bar was her grandma’s. She made the pillows herself.

How to completely redo a kitchen & pantry w/o renovating it. 

Floral wallpaper and bright blue in the main bath.

In the downstairs shower room, it took 3 days to decoupage the walls & ceiling with wallpaper samples and magazine pages.

The master has pop art pieces done by her friend, Tiff.

Guest room.

She did this bedroom for her granddaughter and made the mushrooms herself. Doris the cat looks a little uncertain, maybe she thinks this is a gnome home. 

That Warhol portrait of Jackie Kennedy has significance- her mother was nanny to Caroline Kennedy’s children. Every corner in the house tells a story.

And, this is how she decorated the beach hut she shares w/her friend, Tiff. This house makes me want to run to flea market!
