French Details

If you follow my blog,

you may know that I 

have a full-time 

 design job 

decorating a home 

for a dear friend/client

so I am often

missing from my 

blog posts.

  I feel so bad 

that I don't always have time 

to respond to every lovely

comment that you 

 leave for me.

(Please know they are extremely

 treasured and appreciated!!!!)

Sharing with you today

a couple "snippets" of the

country French style home where I work.

It is simply gorgeous 

and I love pulling up 

to the door here every day.

The home was built over ten years ago

and has changed hands several times.

The builder and original owners

added amazing details, 

importing architectural elements 

such as fireplace surrounds, 

 wood beams, reclaimed floor planks,

and natural stone surfaces 

to create a unique and elegant home.

The doors are all solid wood and were

made by hand. Everything was custom

 down to the hardware 

on the doors and cabinetry.

All photos were taken 

by me over a year ago 

when they first moved in

as I was starting the project. 

So much has changed

surrounding these lovely details. 

 Here are some of the items

we are looking at this week

for consideration in the living room.

In search of a large

antique mirror.

That would possibly hang

above this sofa in a different fabric.

And two of these chairs in different fabric.

Great details.

Maybe two of these wall sconces 

that are so pretty
and three feet high.

And we are looking for an

interesting wool rug.

A updated pattern
in wool and or silk.

Maybe something like this...?

Still looking for end tables and a coffee table.

So many options, can be overwhelming

when making a decision, you know?

I always tell my clients, 

there is not one correct answer 

to these decorating questions.

So many things can work. 

Just try to find a few great pieces 

you absolutely 

LOVE 

and then fill in around them

to create rooms that reflect your personality

and your passions.

The ultimate goal 

is to create a space you love 

and love to be in.

It's like a puzzle.

You just have to find the right pieces!

Have you found 

anything new to add

to your home spaces lately?
