It happens that the garden dictates how to be home. It happens that the historical and cultural environment in which the house exists, declares itself so powerfully that the owner can only listen and obey. It happens ... Especially if it is a house in an old Parisian suburb, where for several centuries the height of the ridge and the look of the window cover are legally defined, if the windows to the garden are tall French windows "to the floor" followed by magnolias and rose bushes for decades back planted here by the diligent hand of the hereditary gardener. For the Russian masters, the Versailles mansion is not a permanent home: they stop here, coming to Paris, and spend the summer here. That is why the decorator Nadezhda Chernigova decided that it would be right to convince her customers, for whom she had already worked in Russia, this time to move away from their beloved strict classicism. Make the interior classic, but more light and lively, cheerful and cheerful, close to the historical and natural environment of their French home. Here begins the most fascinating part of the story. The house of the end of the last century, the current owners got in a deplorable state: after made by the last owner of the "European-style repair" there remained poor stucco, walls covered with glass-fiber wallpaper and a poorly laid floor. The filling was completely gutted, leaving only the shell, which gradually and lovingly the author of this Versailles interior filled with authentic colors and textures. The walls are draped with silk of soft pastel tones from beige and olive to golden. The sketch of Nadezhda Chernigova in Paris made a new stucco. For the ceremonial areas and bedrooms, they ordered replicas of furniture in the style of Louis XV - in the house there are mostly painted patinated furniture that best conveys the spirit of an aristocratic French dwelling. A lot of silver, handmade lace, draperies. And ... unexpected bright accents like a pattern on a carpet or a curtain - this is an echo of the old garden, which meant so much in this story.
