Belgian Style: A Cottage Renovation in Virginia
January 17, 2017 |
| Belgian Style; a Cottage in Virginia |
This Virginia cottage with Belgian style
and sophisticated European style is
so very lucky its talented owner found it.
We toured a beautiful historic retreat on the
Virginia to tiptoe inside a timeless cottage with
soothing, soulful, Belgian style designed by
Natascha Folens and featured in

| Milieu Magazine, Winter 2017 |
What a labor of love this renovation is!
I fell in love with the place as soon as
I glimpsed it on the cover of Milieu.

| Milieu's Winter 2017 issue near my tub. |
you sense in the sophisticated, yet informal interiors
of this 150 year-old country estate set on 22 acres.
I'm smitten with its simplicity, calm, and quiet design.
And what a brilliant renovation considering
it was executed within the home's existing footprint.

| The cabinetry was built by a local carpenter of 300-year old elmwood from France; Miele range, Wall color: Ralph Lauren, Stucco White |
Even the use of wood in this home involves a
minimal approach, with very little finish.
