renovated 12th-century french chateau  / sfgirlbybay

after a two-year long renovation this 12th-century french chateau can finally be called home to Isabelle Site, owner of les petites emplettes, her husband Hubert and their three daughters. found in total disrepair — complete with damaged moat and drawbridge — the family brought the old castle back to life, but left behind hints of its history, choosing to leave bits of wallpaper and peeling paint giving the home a bohemian, eclectic mood. add to that some bold green paint and the house takes on an almost whimsical, wes anderson vibe, while the upstairs hosts bedrooms and bath decorated with elements from isabelle’s shop les petites emplettes, with a much more neutral palette. for the full tour, visit inside out magazine.
