Patina Homes with Brooke and Steve Giannetti

I have followed Brooke and Steve Giannetti’s blog, Velvet & Linen, for years now and also love all of their books, so naturally I was delighted to receive a copy of Patina Homes, their latest book, released by Gibbs Smith this year.

Twelve varied homes ranging from a beachfront contemporary to a historic East Coast farmhouse and a Provencal-style home in California showcase the collaboration of Steve’s architectural talents with Brooke’s chic interior design.  Modern, classical and industrial elements merge to create a unique style that draws upon history and creates a sense of timelessness.  Materials such as white plaster, grayed cedar planks, Bleached white French oak, limestone, and steel are used throughout, and a neutral palette embraces a sense of calm. Inspiration from the gardens is infused within along with natural linens, aged leather, and antique textiles. Everything is selected to give the homes a sense of comfortable tranquility. Nothing is precious.
