One Gate Closes, Another One Opens!

Jason and Tim from Maison des Ifs took me to a reclamation yard and an antique shop in search of the perfect antique gate for my new home. Gate hunting is surprisingly fun—but also far more challenging than I expected. Even though I haven’t moved in yet, I’ve already started researching reclaimed materials and architectural salvage, knowing that finding the right piece takes time, patience, and vision. During the visit, a very special horse crossed my path—. There was so much to see, so much inspiration, and so many ideas forming for what’s to come. This journey also reflects a major life transition. I’m currently moving out of the château and waiting for my new life in a new place to begin. It’s a season of change, reflection, and intentional planning, letting the next chapter unfold at the right pace. ✨ For inspiration and holiday rental: follow Maison des Ifs on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maison_des_... ☕ Buy me a coffee: buymeacoffee.com/servicegg 📍 Follow my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_denise_pin... #france #escapetoruralfrance #chateaudiaries #chateaulife #interiordesign #renovatingachateau #maison
