Claude Monet's Home in Giverny

[ Edited ]

The Master of color!  His gardens are spectacular but this is his kitchen and dining room in his home.  The whole property is a rush of color, exuberant, joyful, an explosion and a feast for the eyes!  I am partial to his work and his home and gardens, for me, are an exquisite palette of his work inside and out!

 

The gardens:

I’ll never forget my visit to this heavenly place. The colors are magnificent. The home is a joy. People passing through were all smiling. What fantastic memory!

I'm someone who prefers neutrals but I make the exception for Claude.

Re: Claude Monet's Home in Giverny

Not my taste but the blue kitchen is appropriate for the home but the yellow dining room is hideous.  He better stick to painting.  Love the outside gardens.
