My clients apartment is in this lovely building in the Champel District of Geneva
I’m back from Geneva! Yes, it was a fabulous trip…and…it’s always great to come home isn’t it? And, of course, that was the purpose of this trip, to create a home. It was not to design an interior space, but rather to consult with two adults, in mid age, combining two separate and completed households, merging two distinctly different styles and creating their first home together…in a much smaller space…in Geneva Switzerland, far from family and friends! Yes, quite a feat for them wouldn’t you say? It was a pleasure and a privilege to be able to consult with them through out the process, from our first meeting in Nashville where we edited each house into three piles:
- get rid of
- store
- send to Geneva
The charming pig on clown figure we found at the flee market…lending personality plus!
The tea tray to the left, a flee market find; The two white ceramics by the fireplace, a brocante find; the great painting above the FP, painted by my clients 17 year old daughter! Fab, don’t you think?

Love the figurine from the flea market! I always pick up cute little things like that when I go to the one near my home… Last time I found the cutest little piggy bank!

glad I finally stopped by to view what you had been up to in Geneva! It looks lovely and comfortable indeed! I think I would absolutely die for that fabulous tea tray!
I love your question: have you combined 2 homes mid-life…and what was difficult?
oh, Irene,the stories I could tell of me the extremely passionate American primitives and antiques lover that married the IKEA luvin’ minimalist Swede…
and how that got combined…
they’re probably not fit for a public page…..but the question surely did give me a laugh!
Lovely job in Geneva! I’m sure they love it!-
Oh Karen, I do hope we really meet in the Loire. I’d love to hear those stories…I can only imagine. I actually went to Nashville first to review furniture and things from both sides…three piles, sell, store and ship. Then helped them set up over there. I think there could be a full time job in this. I can’t even begin to imagine. At least when I met my husband, he was very recently divorced, so all he had was technology! Lucky me…and we renovated during courtship, so I pretty much got my way!LOL
