Gables

Modern glamour satiates wanderlust for English cottagecore in this Tudor home. Constellating the opulence of French high design with the lush romantic concord of a secret garden, the Gables is genteel elegance meets luxurious comfort, with romantically lit, ornately hand-painted walls, lavish horse-hair treatments, and rare vintage pieces.
