Interior Designer Inspiration: Velvet and Linen

DSC_0154

The Gianettis’ design work and gorgeous sanctuary of a site Velvet and Linen with its gorgeous Patina Style has been charming the pants off of this blogger

Saladino Powder

melting just now.

since the dawn of blogalization,
of sidebarization even!

Since before joining ranks in blogademia

in that simpler time when hours were

spent exploring splendid willows

and Belgian pearls.

*smiling to self knowing additional blog-wordplay

is in this post’s future, and there’s absolutely nothing you

can do about it*

What?

Earth to hellolovely!

This is a post about loveliness…

about Velvet and Linen.

The blogarazzi need to be alerted

the Gianettis

will join an elite crew at

Legends: Windows to the World.

Love Brooke’s work?

Then by all means, keep scrolling

and refer to previous bloggage

of the Gianetti’s dreamy book

Patina Style.

(Had to re-post this image from Velvet and Linen’s archives

because this Paris fleamarket destination inspired the Gianetti’s

window display at Windows to the World and is at the top

of my list of tres chic places to visit in October while in Paris.)

Oh no, her shop did NOT just tease me with marmalade crocks.

I love the whole concept of

windows to the world,

which are what I believe

the most inspiring blogs

across the galaxy

aspire to be.

    Very talented couple indeed! I have their book and refer to it all the time.

    Had to laugh at
    the marmalade
    comment, as I am
    actually on the prowl
    for one, now!!!

    I have admired V&L
    for a long time. It's
    wonderful to see all of
    the success coming
    their way : )

    Happy Wednesday,
    xo Suzanne

    Oui, Oui!

    She is one talented and lovely lady that Brooke. I have been stalking her so much that she probably thinks I am a complete nutcase… But I really dig her a ton. She has the best design eye but she is also very grounded and has not let her tremendous success get to her head.

    And we both get giddy around good Swedish antiques! (:

    What a lovely post, Michele!

    Hugs to you super girl.

    You're so funny, i loved the word play, and i see why Giannetti is charming the pants off of you, did you see those blue velvet pillows! I, for one, am quite a fan of velvet, it's yummy, and soft, and everything good… and then paired with my other favorite, linen, what could be better than that!? All those photos have sucked me in, everything looks so real, and touched by life… i'm goin over…
