This house, that belongs to a friend of ours, is a great illustration of how young design-conscious French families like to live today. Elegant, relaxed, greys, neutrals, mix of new and old, comfortable.
Loving the grain sack cushions;Â the gold letters on black background; the faux bird and cage; vintage toys and industrial chair; touches of red on grey.
This is not flashy, not even that pricey, more a collection of articles that are loved for what they are, warts and all!
Tomorrow I’ll show you the store this girl has in her garden!

Beautiful home, love the little touches throughout like the number plaques on things. It brings so amny textures into play without being over done, love it!
It is lovely Sharon, just the way a home should be. A few great ideas in here too. Loving those tall silver lamps for winter and the idea of pegging photos to a line. Very clever 🙂

That first photograph is pure perfection.
The gas pump is very fun!
Gray is it in these parts, isn't it? It is so frustrating for me to live in a rented, furnished apartment and not be doing my usual nesting, painting, rearranging, reupholstering…and thus and so. But I live vicariously through your pictures. Thank you
Love the beautiful, relaxed feel…
I adore this house, it is just precious! The childs bedroom is wonderful! The bathroom and kitchen are small but well appointed.

That house is lovely. So many clever details and treatments. Is it in Paris?
You always bring us the best homes.

I could move right in and feel very at ease.
I'd love to get more greys into this oldgreymare home. Most of it is out in the garden…

Gosh, I could move in!
I love that first photo !
I like rooms that look like these but then I wonder how depressing will all that grey be in the winter .. I think a bit more color, somewhere might work better for me but I do love the decor.
What Gorgeous rooms the chairs are very elegant and the drape's look
Just right gauzily and sleek and the stone floor wow.
I have just discovered your blog and its content. I am so in love with France that I have decided that one day soon, I will live there before I die and it would be my last chapter which will find me painting, writing, gardening and entertaining friends in chic surroundings. I have been visiting Nice for the last four years but will try and venture inland more. I go to Paris for trade shows twice a year and whenever I am there, I like to go to Porte de Clignancourt for the puces!
I am trying to persuade my sister to invest in a french property and have sent her a link to this blog. Meci!
