“Provence” in California

[ Edited ]

Provence inspired property in Sonoma, CA. Designer Wendy Owens used lots of stone to give the buildings a French countryside look.

 

It's not my style, but it is beautiful to look at. I love the stone outdoor seating areas and fountain more than the stone interiors. 

What a view!

I don't know how comfortable it would be to sit on those chairs on the uneven stones, but it is a pretty pic.

When I lived in San Francisco I visited Sonoma a few times.  I love the town with all the shops in a square and the wineries around town.  It would be a beautiful place to live.

That's a lovely picture but yes those chairs, OMG, my back hurts just looking at them!

I've been to Sonoma and Napa and there are places with much prettier views.  I would prefer to look out at the rolling hills of vines, but that's just me Smiley Happy

@LindaSal   It's funny you mention the chairs.  It's always important to have comfortable chairs especially in your dining room and kitchen.

Not my style at all.

I like the fountain & the patio dining area.  that's it though.
