Blahanid had been looking for a house in Provence for some time; she wanted something that would lend itself as "a Project."  She came across St Lambert from a local realtor who even told her it was "a ruin."   She said, "The first time I went there, I fell in love with the magical situation-in the middle of a valley, far from everywhere except a medieval chateau on the hillside above."  All I can say is she did an incredible job! This kitchen is so beautiful with its La cornue oven range, stone sinks and butcher's block.  I love the french gray/blue windows and doors; so soft and timeless.</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs5iAPcV52JGzrVs-_bGBWm3PFkTzgNiVdpnRxZxD1bhrbZOy5dfWfkxQcB7PWt7Z-ukVsgsHr31cFXeyTJdmz1NU8wGcBOBlxwD5oCasg3HBGEoyBav51SOAdHGV1u6ZPTg4SBh-KvmmZ/s1600-h/stair+rail.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307311686454201698" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs5iAPcV52JGzrVs-_bGBWm3PFkTzgNiVdpnRxZxD1bhrbZOy5dfWfkxQcB7PWt7Z-ukVsgsHr31cFXeyTJdmz1NU8wGcBOBlxwD5oCasg3HBGEoyBav51SOAdHGV1u6ZPTg4SBh-KvmmZ/s400/stair+rail.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 272px;" /></a>  <br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWlzChZNmgIvTAqpDOkik3_LK30NZXXYiG-n8P12NIRy0vILlVH32QJvVvh1CH-BI4LGSHI7x1oir8CADWKEvUNeA0pSTh71TovyyF3VR9vdvW2YuqRe1XDiR-yQzzrlv9KdW2hO80aHLK/s1600-h/fireplace+with+dining.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307313616734016786" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWlzChZNmgIvTAqpDOkik3_LK30NZXXYiG-n8P12NIRy0vILlVH32QJvVvh1CH-BI4LGSHI7x1oir8CADWKEvUNeA0pSTh71TovyyF3VR9vdvW2YuqRe1XDiR-yQzzrlv9KdW2hO80aHLK/s400/fireplace+with+dining.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 270px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjai3Zr_XYXPqy92Bm72MlRTR9_eFrhP67tjmV3Mxbx21aDrNIASmWN4543nASKYJmRuj2hdWJbN33byjKZPN8BPN5dHANLnjt7blCEQ2b_RQTfU-j9srlA-4_KiTZMsBdYRQAIx_ZwVU4k/s1600-h/dining+room.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307310928044528770" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjai3Zr_XYXPqy92Bm72MlRTR9_eFrhP67tjmV3Mxbx21aDrNIASmWN4543nASKYJmRuj2hdWJbN33byjKZPN8BPN5dHANLnjt7blCEQ2b_RQTfU-j9srlA-4_KiTZMsBdYRQAIx_ZwVU4k/s400/dining+room.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 270px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">From the kitchen you go into an inner hall that walks into the dining room.  I love the huge stone fireplace and the large painted armoire holding beautiful glasses and plates.  Notice the beautiful color palette, cream and soft muted greens.  All the stone on the floor are local stone flags.</div></div>
