I know how many of you admire the fine work of the Giannetti dream team. If you missed PATINA HOMES…good gracious, make sure you read it too!
In Patina Living, the designers followed their hearts, let nature be their guide, and allowed an adventure to shape them into something new.

Even though Steve and Brook moved from Ojai with their animals, some of us just can’t seem to let go.

All of the lovely Old World charm in this newly constructed home brought peacefulness to a young family’s adventure into slow.

For longtime followers, do you even remember when Patina Farm’s interiors were taking shape?

As we followed Brooke Giannetti’s journey on her blog (Velvet and Linen), each layer of the home’s construction and finishing details bloomed before our eyes.

In an age of inauthenticity, Patina Farm and Patina Meadow stand out with such transparency. If you are a longtime follower of Brooke Giannetti’s Velvet and Linen, maybe you remember how her blog chronicled adorable animal adoption updates. Goats, donkeys, sheep, dogs, cows, pigs and chickens continue to bring a fullness of life and meaning to the landscape.

Can you imagine caring for these creatures daily, beginning at the crack of dawn?
Or working at a desk inside as sweet goats frolic just outside your window?

Brooke and Steve’s vision of pastoral tranquility for their family bloomed into much more than a lab for their work. Their new life helped them to live more intentionally, and they longed to share their peace and paradise with others.

Modern European Country Bedroom
I could ramble on about how their aesthetic and lifestyle philosophies speak to my soul…how something truly set apart seems to color the work.

As I continue to journey with automimmune related chronic illness, I try to stay permeable to messages of hope and healing. These sentiments were written two summers ago, and maybe they will land on fertile ground now:

Gardens by the Giannettis
Curious about Patina Farm’s gardens?
![Gorgeous gardens at Patina Farm in Ojai, California - Brooke Giannetti of Velvet & Linen.](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/019-patina-farm-gardens-giannetti.jpg)
Deep sigh! Aren’t they magnificent?

Tending to gardens, land, and animals must surely keep the Giannetti family anchored in a place of wholeheartedness and gratitude.

I know a little bit about how landscapes affect us at deep levels. Not long ago, we called home a shady hillside spot where grass struggled to grow. Now, on the edge of a forest, sunlight can find everything planted. It’s all growing, thriving, blooming, and flourishing…
In terms of the outdoors, here’s what Brooke says about the design process:

Modern French Dining Room
So many design elements to admire from the lofty ceilings to the limestone, plaster, and collected European antiques.

Gardens at a California Home
While the interiors of Patina Farm were laid-back luxe, the outdoors could be described as lush!
![Patina Living photo of beautifully lush gardens with boxwood and roses as well as patio with French cafe furniture. #patinafarm #gardens #landscapedesign #giannettihome #frenchgarden #frenchfarmhouse](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/014-garden-boxwood-roses-patina-living-giannetti.jpg)
Does the image above bring to mind Provence or a beautiful garden moment from the South of France?

Those pink sunsets remind me of the Arizona horizon I so adore.

When the Gardens Were Young
It only feels like yesterday the Giannettis were planting their gardens…it was nearly 15 years ago.
