FRENCH SCRAPBOOK

FOR YEARS I HAVE HAD A COLLECTION OF PICTURES IN A SCRAPBOOK THAT I HAVE DOWNLOADED IN  AN EASIER FORMAT, CALL IT A WISH BOOK OR PROJECTS THAT I WILL GET TO SOON.....SO MANY IDEAS, NOT ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY. THIS COMING NEW YEAR I HOPE TO DO MANY PROJECTS FASTER! & MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTION, IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT THAT; I'M BECOMING A VEGETARIAN......I DON'T EAT ANYWAY, SO I MIGHT AS WELL TRY IT......BACK IN THE 80'S I WAS FOR A WEEK LOL

WHAT COULD BE MORE FRENCH THAN EVERYTHING IN SHADES OF WHITE & A SEWING MACHINE BASE REPURPOSED INTO A TABLE.

WHAT A GREAT WAY TO RELAX IN A RECAMINIER OR DAYBED. TUCK YOURSELF AWAY ON A RAINY DAY OR COLD WINTER NIGHT & READ AWAY!

THIS SWEET FRECH COTTAGE LOOK WITH THE CHAIRS & TABLECLOTH, FLOWERS EVERYWHERE JUST SHOUT OUT F*R*E*N*C*H

FRENCH COTTAGE FARMHOUSE WITH THE FABRIC UNDER THE CABINETS TO HIDE WIRES OR PLUMBING, A BIG CLOCK, CUTTING BOARD & HERBS DE PROVENCE GROWING ON THE WINDOW SILL.

A RELAXING WAY TO CATCH A BREEZE, PLEIN AIR DINING IN A GROTTO LIKE ATMOSPHERE WITH A VIEW TO DIE FOR.

FRENCH STONE FARMHOUSE. I LOVE THE GREYING STONE & THE PANED WINDOWS.

WHAT IS FRENCH WIHTOUT A PLACE TO SOAK YOUR FEET & RELAX WITH NATURE

THIS SWEET CUPBOARD WITH A BLUE BACKBOARD JAZZES UP THE CONTENTS THAT'S IN IT & THE OLD HALF WINDOW IS WONDERFUL!

ANOTHER RESPITE FROM THE HECTIC WORLD, THE DOG LIKES IT TOO!

THE OLD FARMHOUSE SINK SETS OF THIS KITCHEN & THE WICKER "ISLAND" IS SO PRIMITIVE & FITS IN WELL WITH THE THEME OF "LET'S RELAX" & TAKE OUR TIME TO COOK SOMETHING UP. LUV THE LINEN DISHTOWEL CURTAIN SWAGS.

IN FRANCE THERE IS NOTHING LIKE "PLEIN AIR" DINING. I SAY ANYTIME I CAN BE OUTDOORS....I'M THERE. BISTRO CHAIRS & THE PRIM WOOD TABLE SET THE MOOD FOR EATING. THE COBBLESTONE "FLOOR"  IS SO FRENCH.

FRENCH DRESS MOLDS ARE SO OOH LA LA!!

THE LAUNDRY ROOM & LINEN ARMOIRE

A COMFY LIVING ROOM IN BLUES & SILVER & A CUSHY SOFA

NOTHING SAYS FRENCH LIKE A GARGANTUAN CHANDELIER & MASSIVE IRONWORK.

I LOVE ROOFS MADE OF TILE & A PORTICO TO TAKE YOU INTO SOMETHING SECRET, LIKE A GARDEN

URNS ARE NOT NECESSARILY MEANT FOR THE GARDEN OR OUTDOORS, THIS ONE FITS RIGHT IN WITH A MOUND OF MOSS. CUSHY SLIPCOVERS ARE AS EASY AS PIE TO REMOVE & WASH OR CHANGE AS THE SEASON CHANGES.

SIMPLE FRENCH DECORATING WITH A FEW SELECT PIECES & ONE LARGE FOCAL PIECE, SPEAKD FOR ITSELF & HOLDS "JUNQUE" WHEN YOU'RE IN A HURRY TO CLEAN UP!

NOTHING SAYS FRENCH LIKE TOILE. A MORE FORMAL SCENE HERE WITH NATURAL UNPAINTED  FURNITURE & A COLLECTION OF PICTURES.
