Tucked in among the hills of Provence in southern France, with long views toward the Mediterranean, this 19th century farmhouse had old bones, original features and an idyllic setting. Its interior was in reasonable shape, but when its new owner — a Brit working mostly in Nepal — took it on, it was not to his taste.
He contacted Decorbuddi interior designer Stephanie Bailey to work on a redesign. “I happened to be in France when I got the call so I hopped on the [train] to Provence to meet him,” Bailey says. Decorbuddi designer Jo Miller flew over from the UK and was struck by the beautiful setting. “Out of every window there were views of valleys and vineyards,” Miller says.
Bailey and Miller created a relaxed, striking design for the interiors and the outdoor entertaining area using natural materials, antiques and upcycled pieces, as well as layers of mellow color.
