Steve Giannetti of Giannetti Home. 3 /The couple love using their wedding china
at breakfast set atop an old wood table next to their kitchen’s stone fireplace.
4 /The French-inspired potager garden is Brooke’s favorite spot in the morning.
5/All the hallmarks of the Giannettis’ style are on display in their living room,
including faded, natural surfaces and textiles, views of the outdoors, and
a foraged arrangement, which Brooke changes out daily. 6/Brooke brought
these Pekin ducklings home from the local feedstore; they wander the grounds
as a unit. “They were bonded so I brought them all home,” she says.
In their new book, Patina Living
(Gibbs Smith, 2019), Brooke
and Steve Giannetti share
garden plans, animal care tips,
and the beauty of life on
their Ojai, California, farm.
