The exterior of the home used to be baby blue; Borgnes-Giramonti and her husband repainted it white and put up a wall using reclaimed bricks from a factory (not shown here). "For this house, I wanted it to be soulful, unconventional and a repository of all the things I hold dear," Borgnes-Giramonti says. "My blog is called A Bloomsbury Life because I have long been besotted with the Bloomsbury Group’s devotion to art, friendship, literature and travel, and I wanted this house to really reflect those core values."
