Friday has arrived and we hope to have a lovely fall weekend on the east coast. Care to purchase a French Castle? Or at least look at one!
Set in the history-steeped region of Périgord Noir, the castle was originally built in the 13th century. A recent renovation added to the grand residence many leisurely amenities of contemporary living (tennis court, sauna, heated swimming pool), while the Gothic- and Renaissance-style architecture and decor (chimeras, foliated scrolls, mullioned windows) have been masterfully preserved.
There are 170 acres, the wooded grounds contain multiple guesthouses and suites as well as equestrian facilities.
The foundation of the structure hides a maze of underground rooms, including a billiards room, a cellar, and a lounge.

Comfortable atmosphere! The choices are endless for space planning and architectural elements. Furniture and accessory choices are just as important. Outdoor environments are designed to flow from inside to outdoor patios, and eating areas. Here are some photos for inspiration!
Welcome Home! Is there a space in your home that makes you happy? Do you love to enter through the front door or the side door? Can you re-create an area to make it comfortable and welcoming. Play with a room and experiment. Go out on limb and do something different. Most of all make a change.
