Tour of Ma Maison - Part 3
Maison de Poitiers Dining room
I bought the table and chairs whilst I was living in Dubai but the rest of the furniture was sourced in France.
Maison de Poitiers - Breakfast time
I adore the "desserte" which is shown in the background and also have a buffet that matches this. I would be lost without these pieces of furniture as not only do they look the part but are perfect for storing china and glassware. It is amazing the amount that these can hold.
Maison de Poitiers - Terrace
This is the view from the terrace in the summer, the mass of yellow that you can see in the distance is sunflowers - I adore them as to me they are happy flowers and they are so cute in the fact that they turn to face the sun hence when you drive past in the morning and again in the evening their haeds have moved to follow the sun hence the name in french "Tournesol" which translates to turn with the sun.

Loving the tour....have to look up the term "desserte" new to me - like Buffet ? See you tomorrow
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and so nice that you share it with us! When I lived in Dubai my villa was past Safa Park in Jumeirah. Actually I had two villas during the time I lived there, what a fun place. Have a wonderful day. ~Cathy~
ReplyDeleteHello Mary, in answer to your question "desserte" is what we would call a buffet in english and buffet is the equivalent of a dresser/cupboard.- I have used the bottom part of a desserte on my current project amd have put fabric lined baskets on the shelves which give it a more contemporary look.
ReplyDeleteA demain

Cathy, it is such a small world as we lived in 27 street which was opposite the Pak and Shop shopping complex on the beach side so I know Safa Park well. Shopping in Dubai was amazing as you could get anything that you wanted from anywhere in the world.
ReplyDeleteIt is a small world :-)
