Random photos in French Country

 What bedroom isn't complete without If you give a moose a muffin" or "cat in the hat" or a slinky?


Much happier with smaller newel posts on these railings. I also added the finishing baseboard and white trim to cover the spot between floors where wallpaper doesn't meet.


Potential picture, and will need to start filling the bookcase with all those books I made a couple years ago.



What do you think about the parsons chairs here?


Need to figure out what I want above the LR and DR fireplaces - I have some resin mantel frames...I should get them out to see if they work.



Kitchen from the actual front of house. Think I want to put some plants on top of the cabinets and have vines hanging down. Any other ideas? Maybe a picture? Would that look odd?


Interesting view.



I gave up on my idea of a shower curtain - I am terrible at hand-sewing, and this was silk, not easy to work with. I used a different silk as a test...I have the silk that is the fabric match for the wallpaper but am really not looking forward to trying it. I may try with a cotton to see if I get better results.



I am starting to think about draperies for this house. This rook would look good with beige silk that would blend and pull out the silk in the headboard. Something very simple - draperies and a cornice probably. Wouldn't have to worry about sewing rings like the dreaded shower curtain and could hide edges under a cornice.



Maybe light pink draperies for this room?


Living room and Dining room - something neutral - beige for draperies again?



Finished backing on needlepoint rug.



French Country Kitchen Reveal!

 Ready to decorate! 

I've been finishing the cabinet trim and coloring it accordingly and finally got to the place where I was ready to install them in the kitchen! 









OK so I also added place settings in the dining room. Its fun to see it start to look lived in!
