~why I love french country~

Hello everyone!!

Happy Friday!!

baaaaaaaaad blogger.....I am....

yup....that's me.....

busy busy busy busy busy....

linen washin', dryin', ironin' & cuttin' machine

over here!

but it's been over a week &

I missed my Tutorial Tuesday

yes, I know....I feel so small....

just couldn't pull it off.....

too many other things to barely pull off...

hahahaha! :)

so I'm forcing myself to sit down, catch up &

say hello! :)

and I thought you might enjoy some

lovely french country inspiration....

you know ~ I do believe this is my

"true style"

other styles really do inspire me...

JDL, shabby chic, and such....

but I'm pretty sure, I can definitely say...

I shoulda been born somewhere

in the French countryside.....

somewhere with stone floors....

and stone walls...

somewhere with a big ol' fireplace

like so.....

and patina everywhere....

you with me?

somewhere with exposed wood 

ceilings....or at least rustic

beams everywhere....

I love the warmth of it all~

and let's not forget

the worn wood, worn painted surfaces,

and the linens...

and the chandys.....

can't get enough of those mixed in with

all the rustic-ness.....

and of course....you gotta have a little 

bit of vintage toile mixed in....

a throw, or a quilt is just right....

love it....

love it all....

how about you??

are you torn between styles?

have you wrestled with that??

or have you found it &

can say "this is me! once & for all!"

do tell!

and have a fantastic weekend!

xoxoxo,

Shellagh
