I love everything Elena did in that amazing home!  I love her French Provincial furniture and especially the walls.  

I would move the milk stools together to form a low "table",

I don't have a feeling of that area being finished.

I am in love with the dining room windows and especially the shutters.

The 3 boards leaning against the wall between the windows appear to have an impression, stenciling, or painting on them.  Interesting!

There are mixed periods here:  I see your favorite "primitive" in the stools, cocobolo sling back chairs in rosewood by Don Shoemaker, a French provincial sofa,a rococo sofa, lots of Mexican furnishings including some 16th century Mexican.  That's what I love about this, mixes of period furniture and yet it all seems to work together quite seamlessly.

I'm not feeling most of the decor here as I lean more towards contemporary or modern.  I thought the milkstools were really neat although I didn't understand the reasoning behind her placement of them.  I also really liked that chair in the living room.  She is sitting in it in the second picture.  

However, the food in those three bowls looked amazing!!!!

Quite unique and interesting. My favorite photo is the collection of pottery on the large cabinet. I like the entrance to her restaurant and the dining spaces in it more than the rooms in her home.

Love the use of color and her eclectic style. Not necessarily my style but it seems very personalized to her. And it seems very homey and comfy.

That chair in the living room is pretty identical to one I have from Grandin Road in leather with a matching ottoman. It's the most sumptuous comfy chair to relax in, so I can see why she has it, although in different fabric.

These light filled spaces have such appeal and I like a number of the elements she's employed. Of course, there are also a number that I don't much like. All those little stools might be her vision, but they'd be hard to live with, and I have no idea what the net-like item strung across the living room is, but it needs to go. Love the sofas, the bed and the feline among other things.

Interesting and different but this is just not me.

I do LOVE everything about the carpenters bench in the Kitchen and the outdoor dining at her restaurant looks beautiful and inviting.
