A new farm home blending modern lines and materials with French antiques. When Brooke and Steve Giannetti decided to leave their suburban Santa Monica home to build a new life on a farm; they looked into themselves; and traveled to Belgium and France; for inspiration. Brooke’s inviting prose combines with 200 photographs and Steve’s architectural drawings to show their inspirations; their materials selections; and the enviable result of their team effort and creativity: an idyllic farm in California’s Ojai Valley. We see every corner of the family home; guesthouse; lush gardens; and delightful animal quarters. Steve Giannetti is a renowned architect; and Brooke is an interior decorator and writer of the design blog Velvet and Linen. They also own Giannetti Home; a store that sells furniture and products for the home in their signature Patina style. The couple’s work has been featured in the Veranda; Coastal Living; Good Housekeeping; the New York Times. They are the authors of Patina Style.

The way it is discribed will amaze you. You get pulled in even if you do not expect to be. I am proud to also say that this man is my best friend; my idol; and my grandfather. He is without a doubt the most down to earth person that i know (and hilarious of course). I would give anything to try and make this book into a movie and make it known of what he has; and others have gone through.Please share this book and make it known; and help me in reaching my goal of making this book into a movie for my grandfather Norman R.
