~Simply Beautiful~

The French doors in this beautiful foyer invite you to wander outside and view the gardens.

 

(left) Pretty details like the chandelier, creamy wrought-iron beds and lush duvets, add a soft and feminine touch to this sweet bedroom.

(right) Architectural details like this vintage door knob and lock, add instant charm!

 

 

This bedroom is filled with character. Beadboard walls, weathered wood, and vintage fabrics and lighting add a rustic, yet feminine look and feel to the space.

 

 

A pretty place to sit and relax with a good book. I love the aged brick and climbing roses.

 

 

(left) This tablescape is so elegant. Two silver compotes filled with fresh flowers flank a taller vase in the center, making it a beautiful focal point. (right) The reflecting pool and lush greenery invite you in to this gorgeous courtyard. The multiple seating areas make this space not only beautiful, but functional as well.

          This kitchen is literally a breath of fresh air! The  vintage style French doors open up on two sides, adding a charming and expansive feel to this French, country kitchen.

 

(left) What a cozy, cottage kitchen… The weathered farm table serves as a center island and as a dining table. The color adds a nice contrast against the otherwise all white kitchen. The glass cabinets allow you to display pretty dishes and glassware. (right) Elegant, monogrammed linens add a lovely touch to any table setting.

  Stately Pillars greet you as you enter in to this magnificent garden, filled with beautiful arbors that are draped and overflowing with blooming flowers. A small pond completes this tranquil retreat.

~Pretty hues of blues and greens~ My Etsy pics of the week…

I love the soft, muted color tones of blues and greens. They have a warm, rich look and feel and they are so pretty!

Bringing in this color palette through photography and vintage accessories is a great way to add a pop of color to an otherwise neutral room.

I love coming across vintage and antique pieces that have been painted these beautiful colors. They are so perfect for a beach cottage.

~Dreaming of a Summer Cottage~

This master bedroom is so romantic…  The white vaulted beamed ceiling and dark hardwood floors contrast beautifully. I love the sheer fabric that drapes in front of the bed and the minimal furnishings, which give this room a whimsical and flowy feel.

(left) Welcoming you in to this beach cottage is a  gorgeous settee overflowing with pretty pillows. The beadboard and beach accessories add the perfect inviting touch! (right) I find this foyer so pretty. To some it may seem stark, but to me I look at the details like the vintage shutters, clapboard, beamed ceiling and the dark hardwood floors and I find it so charming…

This bedroom has a romantic old world feel. The re-use of an antique fireplace surround and mantle makes a gorgeous headboard and the color blends beautifully with the bedding. The white monogrammed pillows really add a nice pop. I also love the aged green antique door and the greenery from the topiaries. It’s just stunning!

 

(left) In this bedroom, the French doors open out onto a balcony overlooking the ocean. The sheer curtains give the room a bright and airy feel. (right) Soft blues, yellows, creams and green color tones make this living room a comfortable and cozy place to relax in.  The distressed blue shutters are so pretty!

A simple, yet beautiful centerpiece. This shows that creating a vignette can be as simple as placing a glass vase filled with fresh roses and adding some seashells in the background.

    A beautiful blue sky, lush greenery and a dreamy beach cottage…

~My Newest Products~

 

 
I have been working on these for the last couple of days. I incorporated my French home accessory designs with my photography and created individual art pieces that can be displayed alone or grouped together.

 

 

I chose a deep gallery wrapped canvas so that you can stand them on a shelf or mantle, or if you choose to hang them, they are ready for that as well.

 

 

I love how you can stack them and group them together in whichever order you like! It makes them easy to change up…

 

I have added a slight distressing to the edges while still maintaining a clean, elegant look.

~Inspired by Vintage Letters and Numbers~ My Etsy pics of the week…

(click on the pictures above to be directed to these Etsy shops)

I am always inspired when I come across old metal numbers, signs, vintage letterpress and text. I found an amazing mix of the old and new in my search this week on Etsy.

I love the vintage wood typeset and the old metal letter and number. You have to wonder about their history.

Then I came across the newer items that have their own vintage feel. You can find so many uses for all of these beautiful items.
