One can only dream of such a summer residence.All girlish dreams of luxury, romance, notes of antiquity and, of course, French charm are embodied here. But dreams tend to come true ... Well, let's dream! What girl has not dreamed of being a princess and, standing at the top of the tower, waiting for her prince? A century ago, in this house, furnished with French chic, a very romantic story happened. In the city of Tenterden, located in the south-east of England, there is one notable house with a tower - The Tower House. There is information that this house was built in 1904 for a lady who longed for France. Wanting to comfort her beloved, the owner of the house built a high tower so that, climbing to the very top on a clear day, she could see the outlines of her beloved coast. There is a fair amount of fiction in this story, but that did not stop the current owners of the house - Pippa Carter and her husband Mike. They did not radically remodel the house and retained its French charm. Let's see what ideas Pippa and Mike used and which of the following can be implemented in your home.
Kitchen
First of all, go to the kitchen. When looking at these powerful wooden beams, it becomes clear that this part of the house is much older than the main façade of the 18th century. This room became the real center of the house for Pippa and Mike. 
Despite the fact that this is the working area, hereThere was a place for an antique chest of drawers and painted wooden lockers. The dishes are stored on long shelves along the walls - so all the essentials are immediately visible. Notice how the shelves are decorated with embroidered edging with French ornaments. 
In the corner there was an antique dining set and an antique chandelier. 
Living room
Guests are immediately enveloped in a feeling of muffled luxury, which is created with the help of artfully selected items and expensive materials. 
The walls of the room are painted in mocha color.Textiles, pleasant to the touch, are designed in a single color scheme. The antique armchair is complemented by a special footstool - perfect for long conversations by the fireplace. Natural, passing through the windows in the bay window, only emphasizes this beauty. An amazing view of the garden opens up from here. And in the dark, the room is illuminated by an antique chandelier and several exquisite candelabra. 
In the next room housed a homelibrary. A wicker basket, a vintage floor lamp, several portraits in the frame and carelessly left on the armrest of the sofa scarf - all these small details serve one purpose. 
Canteen
The pride of this house is the dining room.In the corner, the dressor - an antique cupboard - showcases the family's collection of porcelain tureens, serving plates and cups. Our opinion: - Some of this remains from the past generations, and something was bought in modern showrooms. It will not be superfluous to look at flea markets - with some luck, you can find real treasures there. This wrought iron chandelier with pendants looks like it comes from a fairy tale. And starched linen napkins and a small bouquet in a teapot will add sophistication to your morning meal. 
Bedroom
Let's take a look at a completely charming guest room for a girl, made in delicate blue and white colors. Old-patterned wallpaper adds a special romance to this interior. 
The wrought-iron bed, covered with a silk coverlet, is combined with a sofa in the style of the 18th century. Furniture white color shades silk curtains of coffee color with milk. 
In the tower, about which we told at the beginningarticle, now also there is a bedroom, paneled with wooden panels. The space behind the wrought-iron bed is covered with floral wallpaper. Nearby there was a carved bedside table and a floor lamp for reading. 
Hall
Let's note some interesting details in the hall on the second floor. The wooden shelving is loaded with stacks of fresh bed linen - so that guests in this house are always comfortable. 
A pair of French blinds, a mannequin dressed in an extravagant hat and pearls, a cage with thin rods - these elements give the hall an enchantment. 
Garden
In we find a green greenhouse in which ferns and grapes grow. 
A little further away - a gazebo, where the whole family gathers for tea. 
At the beginning of the 20th century, the husband built a hightower to calm the sadness in her heart. Today, in the 21st century, Pippa and Mike have managed to retain the charm of the house even after extensive renovations. Our opinion: - Different styles and eras can be combined in a French interior. And materials such as porcelain, wood, various metals, crystal and silk will add sophistication to the room. Your ability to improvise and successfully combine things plays an important role in creating a harmonious interior. This is a must if you want to make your dream come true. wealdentimes.co.uk
