Jacqueline Morabito's renovated 16th century farmhouse in the south of France is a happy blend of the medieval and the modern. Here in the bedroom, a simply dressed 18th century Neopolitan bed contributes to the mood of lightness and serenity. A simple window treatment of linen panels adds an easygoing touch.

In the main living area, the six meter wide fireplace is the central focus of the room. The modern glass doors and window have been set into existing openings.

Jacqueline Morabito's collaboration with architect Yves Bayard resulted in a sensitive renovation of her 16th century farmhouse in the south of France. Carefully retaining the existing walls, the pair ended up with a home that respects the spare lines of the original structure yet looks surprisingly modern. Jacqueline's deliberate use of white for all the rooms allows the nuances of the light to be fully appreciated as it changes through the course of the day.
