This looks like the perfect retreat! I love the floor, the bedding and the drapery... so perfectly wonderful!
A few hours spent here reading during the day would be well worth the hours lost.

Dreaming {by invitation}
Dreams are such a fun thing. I have so many but there is one that keeps jumping out at me. I think it maybe more of a wish than a dream but I am truly not sure what the difference is any more.
I dream of having a wonderful place in France to spend time in with my family, when I say time I mean real time where we eat together outside, we cook together, take hikes and walks and learn about the surrounding areas. A home base to travel to new worlds together, just us, just for fun!
This beautiful home would be filled with my favorite of all favorites! Astier de Villatte dishes and furnishings mixed with amazing French finds from Brocantes and local artisans. Things would be striped down and natural just like the surroundings and the food. It would be amazing we would cook and read.
We would ride bikes around just so we could see everything and stop anywhere.
Eating outside as often as possible would be the norm..
My mind might even be free enough to have time to create some new classics based on old methods.
I would have the time and patience to learn how to draw and possibly paint.
A girl can dream right!
What about you what do you dream about?
Please take a minute to stop by and see everyone who participated today!!

Simply French Country
I love the simplicity of it all. The colors are soft, all white dishes, simple repetition, and clean lines. So relaxed.
This weekend is full of chores and work on the Master Bath. I should have everything ordered and going. With all of the final decisions made around here I should be able to give you a little update. I am excited but very ready for it to be finished!!
What are you up to this weekend?

Atelier...
For the past few months I have been considering seriously moving into a little studio space to spread out a little bit. I would love to have a studio or shop in the front with an office and then a design space in the back for work. Things around here are very busy and I have not had the time to really think this through. I am curious to know if you have an office, shop or studio that you rent/own? If you do how do you like it? Would you recommend it? I can use all the input that I can get!
I love this space with the industrial furnishings and the warm feeling of the flooring texture what a great and inspiring workspace.

French market basket giveaway...
French market baskets are one of my favorite things, I have them here and there around the house and in my office to hold samples and all kinds of goodies. I use them at the farmers market and the flea market because they are good sized and sturdy. Not to mention that they are great looking
one of a kind pieces, each is made by hand and unique.
So as a little thank you and to show my love for all things French (yes I know that they are made in Morocco) I am giving one away to a lovely reader.

Laduree in NY...
I am feeling very jealous of New York right now... I have just received this email about the shop which I knew was coming but I am still a little sad.
The lovely Laduree macaron is available there and I am here...
Maybe they ship??
Beaded chandeliers on greige
I picked these pieces up last week for our flea market section on the site.
I have a VERY limited quantity and when they are gone that will be it.
Stop by and take a look at all of our new items!
I hope you find something that you like....
Chevron and Herringbone wood floors...
I have said it before and I will say it again. I love the look of Chevron and Herringbone wood flooring.. as I love the fact that the French find it to be equally important in their beautiful apartments! The floor makes the simplicity of this space just absolute perfection.
I have been daydreaming about wood flooring for our house for the past week or two.. keeping my fingers crossed that I can have some in before the holidays!
Thanks for the note... on the flooring style... sometimes I am too quick with the typing!!!

touch of blue...
While walking in Paris I fell in love with this place. I think it may have been a small hotel. The door colors were a perfect accent to the stone...
They always seem to get it right.. ahh France.
The light fixture in the entryway was simple and special, as was the man in the suit! (he was very sweet and I think a little embarrassed when I took his photo)
