A darling child sized french chair in a sky blue check
Added to a living room setting with a sumptuous overstuffed settee
Through the marble archway a peek of a pink chair
leads to her special makeup table
Brown silk skirted table is tucked into a marble alcove
This elegant bath has beautiful wallpaper in a french classical pattern in metallic on taupe
How about finishing your laundry in here with a pressing machine and pretty baskets for sorting?
A chandelier hangs from a pink wallpapered ceiling
and the baskets are lined in pink fabric with a lace overlay.
4 pampered granddaughters get tucked into their canopy beds at night,
with each duvet monogram claiming the sleeper.
A beautiful lace curtain stands out against grey woodwork
The lady of the house works in this home office with
silver desks, lavender walls, frisse rug,
and a show stopping roman shade.
A zinc garden table and chairs is perfect for a quick lunch, right in the office!
The roman shade with chandelier motif is
edged in Swarvoski crystals in a whimsical play on the subject.
Limestone and parquet floors and fabulous silk draperies.
Check out the ruffled detail of this drapery panel~so inspiring!
I want to copy this someday...somewhere....
How about this kitchen backsplash?
I believe it is stone, but all of you DIY
chalkboard paint lovers could take this idea into your own kitchens.
My latest aquisition from Amazon.com is this book:
French Impressions by Betty Lou Phillips.
Page after page of inspiring ideas can be found.
I have several of her books, all written with the same topic.
She is a Texan that is obsessed with French design, and I am glad she is.
If you love all things french, consider adding this to your book collection.
What fantastic spaces! I love that taupe vanity and pick chair. The taupe wallpaper in the bath is to die for. I know wallpaper is out right now but I just love the various looks it achieves. I also really like the tailored roman shade complete with embroidery. What a delicious book. I may have to own one of those too!
