I've been saving images of his Jacques Grange designed London home for a while and was delighted to find even more on <a href="http://studioannetta.blogspot.com/2007/12/from-my-style-files-paris-chic.html" target="_blank"><span style="color:#cc6600;">Studio Annetta</span></a>. The home was originally published in the UK edition of House & Garden magazine in January 2006 which makes me wonder how it's changed over the years. A few other photos were seen in my favorite book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Jacques-Grange-Interiors-Pierre-Passebon/dp/2080301128" target="_blank"><span style="color:#cc6600;">Jacques Grange Interiors</span></a>. While the apartment is the epitome of elegance with it's 1930's furniture and Francis Bacon art, it also looks surprisingly comfortable. I hope those pugs appreciate living in the lap of luxury!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEqBb4gy67xxqsiCaBqTVpkBr5Ma7bLhrqKz8uoW0LlH6lwKTFveKMhj5rV3NcqgWp-0GtqJIKpx9DHzsMxDZBDXl1sHISJ0aUMiO1NlWMVvKPPHYTkVaDglp1ohugMNgVPvxE2Jz6XMbQ/s1600/Valentino+JacquesGrange_pg212-213.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470370785911142034" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEqBb4gy67xxqsiCaBqTVpkBr5Ma7bLhrqKz8uoW0LlH6lwKTFveKMhj5rV3NcqgWp-0GtqJIKpx9DHzsMxDZBDXl1sHISJ0aUMiO1NlWMVvKPPHYTkVaDglp1ohugMNgVPvxE2Jz6XMbQ/s400/Valentino+JacquesGrange_pg212-213.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;
