Another little Sunday afternoon project! The oversized pepper grinder from the Chateau Vert had seen better days. A quick sand, a couple of coats of Annie Sloan ‘Athenian Black’ chalk paint and a clear wax and we’ve got enough pepper to last us a year!

Spot the difference! 😬

I love a little Sunday morning project like this!

Nico’s maternal grandparents used to own the Chateau Vert in Toulouse. We recently acquired an old mirror from the Chateau so we’ve cleaned it up, had a bit of a reshuffle of the existing paintings and mirror and hung it in our entrance hall.

The oval mirror used to below to Nico’s paternal grandparents so it’s lovely to have both mirrors in our hall. They’re not in perfect condition but I think it adds to their charm!

The work on our new swimming pool has started! We are levelling the bottom to make it safer, adding a beach and new steps, changing the form, changing the colour of the liner to ’sand’ and replacing all of the paving with natural travertine stone.
