My inspirations for a home:
“light airy house constructed with peach colored local stone, with french doors and windows, and beautiful rose gardens surrounding it”
“At La Paisible, Audrey’s loves were few and absolute. There was the house itself, the gardens, the dogs, her boys, wherever they could visit…”
“Audrey’s decorating style was low fat. White walls, floors, couches and clear accents of colour, blue, green and even orange.”
“There was something about Audrey and white.”
“It was a charming house, very simple and of course, everything was white. Wherever they went, everything was white. I thought that was so indicative of her. The car was white. Even the baby was dressed in white.
White wicker furniture, masses of flowers from the gardens, silver framed photographs of friends and family.
Instead of heavy duty antiques etc. Audrey’s La Paisible had the greatest assets money can buy – space, sunlight, peace of mind. Audrey decorated for herself, not for the image of world famous actress.”
Hours were spent shopping for, preparing and enjoying meals. Looser, a more textured English-type garden to the formal geometry of the french. “
“Dressing room adjoining her bedroom”
Audrey knew that you couldn’t throw something on and expect it to look good overall presentation was vital.
French provincial feel.
