Why is it that France often as the most beautifully decayed furnishings? Rusty industrial light fixtures, the perfect aged patina on a table, wicker that's crumbling, yellowed prints, etc. You would probably appreciate John Derian's Provincetown home (and the little shop in the back). I believe it was in Elle Decor in the past year, but I'm not sure on the magazine. It could have been HB or Domino. I'll try to see if the feature is online anywhere. He totally celebrates decay and aging. It's funny, every few years I subscribe to InStyle and when the subscription runs out, I have no desire to keep it going. I think the only thing I enjoy is looking at the Oscar outfits and a few of the homes featured. Unfortunately, most of them usually look the same - some sort of faux Tuscan crap in the middle of L.A.! Aha, upon re-reading my words here, I saw in terms of aging ourselves, we replace the word "decay" with "patina!" becky Nicola, it’s so strange – as your comment was traveling through cyberspace to me, I was shooting pictures from a book of Louboutin’s Paris Apartment for my other blog!

I started feeling kind of sick of all the fake stuff (modern furniture, ugly and ridiculously expensive jewelry, anti aging hand treatments blah blah) and just after my christmas shopping gluttony it was so refreshing to see the picture of that back patio. It is so nice to remember (or be forced) to see the beauty in age and quality. Decay and age are so avoided these days - skip the botox and this seasons paint colors and enjoy a coffee on your overgrown patio with your gorgeous wrinkled self. BEAUTIFUL.
