”Follie de grandeur”! Yes. Perfectly put.
The result of Franny’s follie de grandeur is a scary ugly mismatch of styles that is so unoriginal, so very nouveau rich, that it hurts.
Old Franny and her Pubes are insanely obsessed with noblesse and royalty and brand names and famous people and places just like little children with their Disney characters. Dressing in costumes, wearing tiaras and long coats just pretending…
The most original piece in that Dump is the Marquis original TV from 1970’s

kept as a precious piece by hoarder Franny.
There’s nothing sophisticated or luxurious about your shittoo Franny and to give your farmhouse a dignified future you have to scrap everything and start again. Everything. Remove all fake panels, furniture like those awful green velvet chairs, remove all wallpapers, not only the ugly Fuk Tat Chinese restaurant wallpaper, remove every pillow, every piece of curtain and bed curtains and start again.
After making the beams, the walls and the floors solid and safe again, remake the walls plaster them all with the proper products that allows the dumpy walls to breath. Repaint everything in calming earthy or neutral colors. Wall may need repainting every spring. Redecorate with warm shades of earthy colors from sandy beige to terracotta. French farmhouse core. Bring farm house furniture, rough wood, new fresh pillows with covers in washable materials to be washed regularly and replaced/changed during the winter months with covers made of warm materials. Change curtains twice a year too… make simple linen curtains in neutral color for summer months and heavier velvety curtains for winter months.
Don’t get me started on those rugs… have you ever washed any of them? None of those rugs have places in the future farmhouse… throw away the rugs and search some new ones… maybe Moroccan rugs, easily found in France.
Keep the place warm with your new heating system but don’t let the heat scape the house, you need to isolate the house with new windows, double or triple glazed windows and better isolated roof. A new solar system dedicated to the serve all the bathrooms could warm the water in the entire chateau. Even your fantasy pool…
French farmhouse is a fabulous style but your deformed mind set is ruining that place forever.
