Giverny. Just saying the word evokes beautiful light, tangled gardens, the perfume of roses and waterlilies. It was amazing. 
Here are a few I just can't keep to myself. They are meant to be shared, like Monet's work.
Not coincidentally, this is Monet's house, surrounded by those amazing gardens. Heaven. No 
wonder the guy lived to 
almost one hundred.You can't imagine how heavenly it was to wander around his place and see the paintings come to life. There were so many "AHA!" moments.
Inside the house, the salon walls are covered with his work. COVERED, top to bottom. All the furnishings in this public room are shades of gold and ecru, so your attention is carried up and down the walls. It is such a happy feeling room.
Each and every room is painted in a different palette of colors, and all the furnishings are yet an entirely different palette, making for a strikingly lively yet harmonious scheme. Monet's love
affair with color really glows and shimmers here. Unfortunately, no photography is permitted inside the house. So you must go for yourself and see. Imagine the palette of the gardens in an interior space. That'll give you some idea of how color is splashed and dabbled around inside.
