Monet's Garden- a place to discover and get lost |
Monet -- the celebrated French impressionist known for his landscapes that captured the natural essence of a lily pond to the vastness of a shoreline along the river Seine. He loved color, both in his paintings and in his everyday life.
I visited Giverny in August. When I entered the gardens I know my mouth must have dropped open with wonder and awe. I walked along the tiny pea-gravel pathways looking this way and that....hoping not to miss one beautiful thing.

Shutters- the perfect color of Mustard |
Monet's home was equally impressive. He personally selected all the colors and decor. The dining room was inviting with stunning bright yellow chairs and the table was set with bright blue and white dinnerware. He loved Asian art- which graced the dishes and walls of the dining room. The kitchen was a blue-heaven- painted and tiled in blue hues. Lovely mustard yellow, salmony pink and the old vintage green show up in a variety of ways in this old homestead, and like its gardens, this treasure of history remains today- as it was then - a sanctuary of beauty.
At Confectionique, we have created our own version of Monet's home and gardens in Giverny. You will find a similar color palate used in furniture, pillows and other garden and home accessories. And we have even a set a table in honor of Monet- bursting with his color palate. Our Monet's Jardin Market begins on Thursday May 10 from 5:00-8:00pm.
Au revoir,
Anastasia
