As a Velvet and Linen devotee, I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw that Brooke and Steve Giannetti were making a trip to Houston for a book signing at the architectural elements and monumental antiques store Chateau Domingue. The Giannetti's, well know for their successful architecture firm Giannetti Home and design blog Velvet and Linen, recently wrote a gorgeous book that takes readers through the evolution of their stunning home, Patina Farm.

The book follows the Giannetti's journey from prospecting land in Ojai, CA to the creation of the idyllic Patina Farm. Every detail of the interior and exterior of Patina Farm was carefully crafted and curated. I would highly recommend the book for divine inspiration.
Expect to be transported to another place filled with European antiques, carved stone walls, Belgium linen, lemon trees and inviting gardens.

For those not familiar with Brooke & Steve Giannetti, I would recommend a trip to their blog and Velvet & Linen. Years ago, before Patina Farm came to life, I had an opportunity to interview Brooke. I have reposted it on Design Woodlands @ this LINK. It is still one of my favorite interviews!

While my inspiration for the trip to Chateau Domingue was for the Patina Farm book signing, I quickly fell in love with my surroundings. Upon walking through the door I was immediately greeted with the most divine Henri Bendel Lavender candle. I quickly wandered through every room of the sprawling Chateau Domingue set in Downtown Houston. Each room had a unique surprise from antique European fountains to a lovely array of lanterns and oh those iron doors!
