Colors of Monet's Garden Creates a Serene Home

Color's of Monet's Garden is shown through out this serene home.  Claude Monet used his garden in Giverny, France as the source for many of his paintings.  He grew up in Normandy, France and started his career as a landscape artist in 1862.  He made his home in Giverny in 1883 where he spent his last 40 years outdoors painting his magnificent gardens.  He used bold colors from the garden as an inspiration for rooms in his home.  An artist creates rooms just like using colors of a painting.  

The beautiful painting of water lilies uses the pairing of blue and white on the color wheel.
Two matching chairs bring wonderful areas for conversations.  Fabric covered in roses from the garden uses nature as a theme.  Vibrant glass turquoise ornaments arranged in a bowl add colors of water.  


Every space is filled with carefully chosen furniture.  



This elegant white grand piano says music is welcome in this home.  


The adjacent dining room of bold greenish blues adds to the color wheel of peaceful waters.






Claude Monet's water garden and bridge inspired a series of water lilies paintings.  

He carefully manicured the gardens to pristine colors of nature.  There are countless varieties of irises, poppies, daffodils, tulips and peonies.  He loved to grow apricot and apple trees to make delicious pies.  You could hear the sound of bees pollinating flowers to make a new season each year.

Glass vases showing the colors of the garden are displayed on a white shelve over the fireplace.

 

A painting showing the colors of fall looks perfect against a soothing green paint color with candles to bring fragrance to your home.

Carefully chosen mirrors reflect crystals from the shimmery chandelier hanging in the dining room.


A lime green color for paint in the kitchen adds bold colors of nature through out this lovely home.
