C H A T E A U de la Motte-Tilly⁠
⁠
"If you see me daydreaming it’s because I’m thinking of the wonderful château de la Motte-Tilly. Located just one hour of Paris, this 18th-century masterpiece seats on one of the largest estate in the country. You’ll love the lavishly furnished interiors and will be transported by the gardens" ⁠

"E L E G A N T simplicity meets timeless charm. The French country exterior has a way of feeling grand and inviting all at once. With its stunning stone facade, steeply pitched rooflines, and intricate window details, it creates a cozy yet luxurious vibe that feels like a warm welcome home.⁠
⁠
The reflection of autumn trees on the calm pond draws attention to the landscaping. Adding a water feature, even something small, can bring a sense of serenity to your yard. Combine this with trees or shrubs that change colors seasonally to introduce natural beauty year-round.⁠
⁠
Consider incorporating soft, neutral tones or rustic details like shutters, arched doorways, or wrought iron accents in your exterior design. These little touches can give your home an old-world elegance while still feeling completely livable" 📷️ and copy via @peccolehouse⁠

L U X U R Y on the loggia…⁠
⁠
📍"Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, Miami, Florida… Perched at the edge of Biscayne Bay sits the one-time winter home and Gilded Age gem of industrialist and socialite James Deering… Built in the early 20th century, the landscape and architecture were influenced by Veneto and Tuscan Renaissance styles and designed in the Mediterranean Revival architectural style, along with some Baroque elements…⁠
⁠
The historic villa contains 70 rooms filled with fine decorative art, furnishings and antiques sourced by Deering on his European travels… Fun fact: Deering purchased some ceramics which were to be shipped back to the US on the Titanic however they never made it; fortunately he took out an insurance policy on the pieces and was able to have them replaced…⁠
⁠
The site was, in 2008, designated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as one of America’s Eleven Most Endangered Sites due to the threat of encroaching high-rise condo development; since then, thankfully, development has been blocked and Vizcaya is now in its own zoning code to ensure future protection"… @vizcaya_museum⁠

"S O F T -blue shutters, a symmetrical facade, and perfectly trimmed hedges come together to create a timeless, French country curb appeal. The balance between structure and charm in this exterior design is what makes it so inviting.⁠
⁠
One beautiful detail here is the landscaping. The hedges act as a natural guide to the entrance, creating a sense of elegance and direction. Consider incorporating symmetrical greenery or neatly trimmed bushes to frame your walkway or front door—it’s a simple touch that adds character.⁠
⁠
The charm of blue accents should not be overlooked either. Swapping out standard shutters or adding a fresh coat of paint in a classic tone like this can instantly elevate your home’s exterior and give it that cheerful-yet-refined European vibe. It’s all about combining rustic warmth with polished details". Visit the Peccole House blog and learn more via @peccolehouse.⁠

“W H E R E was privacy possible in Potsdam’s N

“W H E R E was privacy possible in Potsdam’s Neues Palais?⁠
⁠
If there’s a space in the Neues Palais that fuses Rococo finesse, princely privacy, and technical virtuosity, it’s the Tassenkopf Cabinet, the oval cabinet located at the far end of the Lower-Prince’s Apartment—a suite intended for the personal use of a high-ranking royal, most likely for small, informal gatherings.⁠
⁠
The walls are covered in golden boiserie—not stucco, but finely carved wood—where asymmetrical rocaille scrolls and shell-like forms rise organically from the panel base, evoking the sensation of water caught in motion. The carving is deliberate, fluid, and unbroken, guiding the eye upward through a framework of open latticework.⁠
⁠
Within this gilded structure, a delicate array of hand-painted floral motifs brings texture and colour: tiny blossoms, leaves and tendrils painted directly onto the wood panels, with no two arrangements alike. This is not repetition, but a painterly rhythm composed across the architecture itself.⁠
⁠
At the centre, a porcelain chandelier by KPM Berlin hangs with remarkable lightness, echoing Meissen prototypes. Its ornamental elements—porcelain flowers, garlands, and small putti—add a crisp brightness that harmonises perfectly with the gilded wood and painted decoration around it.⁠
⁠
Secluded from the grand halls and placed at the edge of the princely apartment, the Tassenkopf Cabinet was likely used for private receptions—a space for conversation, tea, or reading, wrapped in controlled splendour and exquisite surface design".
