What we love most about timeless and tranquil interior design? When it ignores trends and embraces natural elements that will always feel relevant. When such interiors are organized in a Giannetti design book? It won’t matter when we open it for inspiration since something fresh or helpful will surely be there waiting. If you don’t have a copy of Brooke and Steve Giannetti’s PATINA HOMES, you’ll want to own it! Let’s revisit favorite European inspired Old World beauty and innovative yet classic architecture moments from it here from Steve and Brooke Giannetti.

Brooke & Steve’s Lovely Book:
What a rare privilege to be able to tour via this book Giannetti-designed homes (surely commissioned by movers, shakers, celebrities, and elite dignitaries!) in California and beyond on these pages. A virtual front row seat to Steve Giannetti’s artistry and Brooke’s poetic touch.
Brooke and Steve Giannetti
The architect’s ability to creatively balance elements of classicism, livability, and modernity is truly awe inspiring.
Brooke Giannetti’s gentle, sunny, intuitive approach to understated yet elegant interiors has been winning over fans for many years. Her favored palette is so sophisticated, natural, rooted in timelessness and positively soothing.
Interiors Captured Unerringly by Photographer Lisa Romerein
Patina Homes glows with stunning photography (mostly by Lisa Romerein) and shimmers with secrets undergirding a dozen richly rendered projects from Giannetti Home.
We are welcomed into a modern house in the desert as well as a West Coast showstopper blessed with the presence of a memorable South of France Bastide.
A peek inside the book will of course speak volumes…
This blogger remains hopelessly smitten by their Creekside (Malibu) project! What lucky homeowners live within these walls!
Could the bespoke kitchen created for their clients be any more understated, elegant, and warm? With rich and timeless materials and architecture this grand, one might expect the result to be more showoffy; yet it isn’t. There’s an understated quality that makes it feel as if it has always existed. What’s more, it is built to endure.
Which Giannetti designed homes appear PATINA HOMES?
Patina Farm, Provençal, Atherton, Oceanside, Maine, Cliff House, Palm Desert, Fern Hollow, Bonhill, Wisteria, Creekside, Fouplegade, and Malibu Colony.
I love the bath above so much! And aren’t the gilded iron moments a sweet surprise? I spy a mini Darlana pendant I also chose for our own home (someday a proper reveal will be revealed…real life renovation is where it’s at and not photoshoots with styling, doncha know!).
The staircase is in this home is also memorable with its iron work and refined profile.
I believe I am indeed ready to move in, are you!?!
Oh this book with its glossy pages of inspiring patina-ed portfolio perfection, along with commentary from the down to earth Giannetti team.
Are you daydreaming too of spaces where patina style can live? I’m noticing details such as deeply weathered antiques paired with pristine white walls, linen, and fresh blooms.
Patina Farm’s Organic Pleasing Palette
For those of us who have followed the Giannettis for eons (since the dawn of Brooke’s Velvet and Linen blog’s first posts!), we know the palette by heart.
Psst. I bought the cashmere dress Brooke is wearing above (Patina Home & Garden), and it is as comfy as pajamas. Plus it has pockets! I wear their long sleeve t-shirts all the time and love their apparel!
Incredible examples of Swedish antiques.
Were you a fan of the Scandinavian influences at Patina Farm and now, Patina Meadow?
Even with all the layering, things still feel subtle and ethereal.
Inspiring the Authors at Home on the Farm
While these glorious farm creatures don’t appear alongside the interiors in the new book, you’ll always find Patina pets gracing Giannetti social media feeds!
Wait. “Farm” is not just a pastoral fantasy? Not simply a gimmick to reinforce a European farmhouse aesthetic and marketing?
Beatrice’s presence sort of says it all. Oh, Patina Farm and now Patina Meadow? Truly a family farm, y’all.
Thelma and Dot seem beyond happy to be a part of this farm family.
And Paisley can’t stop smiling.
Just imagine the daily adventures of the always curious Sherlock and Watson.
Were there a farm version of Vogue, Adelaide might be a cover girl. (You DO have that impossibly perfect bone structure and give good face, Adelaide.)
Who could get tired of beholding those heart-shaped noses each morning?
