French Impressions

 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.
