The story of the renovation of Maison Ginette

"Maison Ginette": a family home

Built in 1967, the house was closed for more than 10 years after the death of my aunt Ginette, it was sold to us "in its original condition" with all the furniture, period decorative elements, crockery, etc.

We completely renovated it in 2022/2023, first with the help of local craftsmen and then with family.

The house was then carefully decorated with an eye to upcycling: we tried to reuse the furniture; the chest of drawers became a bathroom cabinet, the family table in the kitchen was repainted, we reused the chairs when possible, all the windows were used to create a greenhouse at my daughter's house... Some of the crockery you will find in the kitchen is "vintage".

Particular emphasis has been placed on decoration: this is our family home; we share it with you and we want everyone to feel good there.

Many of the renovation elements were carried out by us.

We chose warm colors, we worked with raw materials like waxed concrete for the kitchen worktop, Oukoumé wood for the kitchen doors, OSB to create the furniture for the small bathroom, rattan for a headboard....

The whole thing creates a harmonious atmosphere: we hope you like the house as much as we do!
