Located in Apt, a historic town in Provence, this pair of apartments represents the latest projects from husband and wife design team Sharon and Paul Mrozinski (of the Marston House B&B in Wicasset, Maine).
For the redesign, the couple drew heavily on the ancient spirit of the 17th-century home while at the same time adding a contemporary sensibility. Everywhere the colors and materials of the region are evident; in the deep indigos and terra-cotta reds, the fine linens, and the cool cottons. Though furnished entirely with French vintage pieces and antiques, the effect is timeless. For more information, visit The Marston House and read more about the Mrozinskis and their projects at Design Skool.
