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. Brookes inviting prose combines with 200 photographs and Steves architectural drawings to show their inspirations, their materials selections, and the enviable result of their team effort and creativity: an idyllic farm in Californias 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 couples work has been featured in the Veranda, Coastal Living, Good Housekeeping, the New York Times. They are the authors of Patina Style.
