The Color of Dreams

Intended to function as a groundskeeper’s shed in 1796, the building was erected upon the furthest edge of the Durand property with four measly walls and a wood shingled roof. Its first inhabitant, James Moreau, was an architect of flowers. He weaved floral marvels between the Durand's decaying three story home and the foggy basil green scenery. In the small village of Lourmarin, France, the shed and Mr. Moreau dutifully matched their humble surroundings.
