French do-up: before and after

An email just in this morning from the cousins, who pointed out that the pic I shared yesterday of their amazing and ambitious French renovation project was taken when they first arrived and therefore looked a little sad. Below is the before, from when they arrived in 2011…

And here is the after, taken just right now and dispatched from the French contingent.

A garden started with creepers softening the walls – all my family (except me) are wonderful gardeners and with time this will be a paradise. Sun shining on shutters and a parasol to eat your dinner under… what could be nicer? Once again, if you’d like to follow their progress then check out their blog, ici.
