Claude Monet was as meticulous in the decoration of his family home at Giverny as he was about the planting of its world-famous garden. Each year, thousands of visitors come to the house and gardens, restored just as they were in the house’s heyday and decorated according to Monet’s revolutionary views on colour and light. As she moves through the house, the author describes the mealtime rituals of the yellow dining room, the studio where Monet worked and entertained and the family activities that animated the blue room. She also opens the door to rooms not normally seen by the public: the private bedrooms and the cellar where wine was bottled and fruit preserved. The book focuses on authentic decorative touches, including furniture and fabrics, paint swatches, tiles and china. This is a companion volume to “Monet’s Garden: Through the Seasons at Giverny”.
