What a lovely home - a stark contrast to the beige and grey spaces of today.
I love the bones of the house; the grounds; and many individual pieces of furniture. However, I feel that the interiors were much too claustrophobic for my tastes (even after the 90's redo). Excellent video.
I completely agree! Thank you!!
The 1980s style needed some editing. The opulence was wonderful to behold but not to live in daily for me. The grounds were superb.
Definitely! The grounds certainly were!!
It is a matter of taste!… it is always wonderful be surrounded by beautiful things!… specially in a weekend home.
Magnificent home - beautiful touch of a little 70's, 80's, and 90's atmosphere ... very cozy, relaxing, outdoor and indoor beauty ... love it 💖💜
Thank you so glad you enjoyed!!
Fabulous, as always. So lovely. I do chuckle at "tone down the floral quotient." Yet Oscar's words regarding gardens would seem to apply to our human relationships as well.
I had the good fortune of meeting him at Lake Tahoe one year.
What a charming gentleman and so good looking. I have s picture of us in my office. Since I’m an interior designer by profession, I understand all the little nuances and love it all. Love the video. Carol from California
Wow indeed that is!! Thank you so much Carol!! I appreciate your comment and enjoyed reading it!
love the 90’s reno!!
Thanku " Cultured Elegance "...always informative..
Personally, the '90's period appeals more..a touch more restrained...less crowded..but obviously , each to their own.
I'm glad Annette decided to persevere with the house..it has good bones...the gardens , as u say , exquisite!!
Thank you!!! Yes I agree it was a great decision to preserve the house! And indeed the gardens were so beautiful!!
I just love this home, the country grandeur is just exquisite. I must ask, how do you become so knowledgeable about interior design and history? Thank you 🥰✨
Truly magnificent! I liked both decor styles.
Indeed!! Yes truly magnificent
It’s a beautiful house with a extremely high taste , and a lot of history’s that’s for sure . PS I love your videos 🎉
Thank you so much!!! So glad to have you here!
Yes, I insist all my palatial mansions be well appointed.
I love the grounds, the gardens, but the interiors😮😮😮…a headache, especially the 80s, Francoise’s era. Annette tried to edit the interiors a little in the 90s. However, both Annette and Francoise were of the same generation with similar influences and backgrounds, so their style we’re basically similar.
Haha yes the interiors are truly a lot!! Thank you for your comment!!
I really love your videos!
Thank you so very much!!

To me, the 1980's look by Fourcade was a cluttered mess. The only things I really liked were the bookcases De La Renta's 2nd wife had added & the vista of the rolling Litchfield Hills from the overly formal (imo) garden.
Ango style... what...
