Take a tour of Jacques Grange’s vacation home in the very private area of Portogallo, Portugal.  I found these new images at Marie Claire Maison Italy, and some of the things I was able to interpret was that the house was previously a fisherman’s house and Grange did not change any of the exterior features.  “Fa tanto rustico-chic”  he says, and I agree.  Casa Nina was decorated in a fundamental but sophisticated way, respecting the originality of the house and using whites and many tones of wood, Moroccan carpet and Jacques Grange’s characteristic use of African textile.  Grange’s ceramic collection from Portugal, Turkey, and France are displayed throughout his exquisite vacation home.  Enjoy!
