My French Dining Room

This is minute inwards a serial of posts that render a modest tour of my domicile as well as concentrates on our French agency dining room. Many of yous have got asked for a tour as well as nosotros have got made some changes lately since both of us have got retired as well as have got to a greater extent than fourth dimension to treasure hunt as well as curate our home. I promised I would accept pictures as well as post service them this yr as well as then I hope yous enjoy.

I dearest all styles of French decor from rustic farmhouses to contemporary Paris apartments. However, equally I have got said before, my ain favorite agency is French Chateau. The chateau was designed to render a someone province residence for the trouble solid unit of measurement away from Paris but was formal plenty to have visiting luminaries. The traditional styles were softened, making the lines less stiff as well as the overall experience of the domicile to a greater extent than rustic. The overall outcome was a province trouble solid that was relaxed as well as inviting piece retaining many of the frail features of the French influence. This onetime trouble solid is for certain non a chateau but it does have got alot of graphic symbol as well as tall 12 pes ceilings which give it a grand feel. 

I savour the warmth as well as beauty of living alongside antiques as well as I endeavour to brand the interior infinite a identify where everyone, I hope, feels real much at home.

For some argue xanthous rooms are difficult to photograph as well as teach a truthful color. My dining room never shows upward equally warm as well as lovely equally it genuinely is because the butter xanthous walls never are genuinely captured inwards a picture. You tin await at this pic as well as come across iii dissimilar yellows. This room ever looks smaller inwards pictures than it genuinely is because it's difficult alongside my photographic idiot box camera to teach the width as well as the pinnacle of the 12 pes ceilings at the same time.

Lisa Farmer -

The tabular array is oval alongside a matlasse encompass as well as modest scrunched department of xanthous as well as cream buffalo plaid that sometimes is too used equally a story overlay. I similar banquette seating as well as then I'm using a French cane settee as well as rush seated French provincial chairs. My mom did the needlepoint pillows when I was a footling girl. The edge is genuinely cloth as well as has a French Gothic look, the pattern a flake difficult to distinguish inwards these photos. The tapestry is French. The covert has a cloth bottom as well as chicken wire top as well as is used to maintain marauding felines out of the dining room when it is beingness used to entertain. There is a door that tin endure closed as well as i opening leading into the hall that has no door, therefore the demand for the screen. 

Lisa Farmer -

I lately picked upward a duo of beautiful carved forest architectural fragments depicting diverse fruits as well as foliage, such equally pomegranates (symbol of life, matrimony as well as rebirth). Decided to role them on my covert to spruce it upward a bit.

Lisa Farmer-

A close-up of the finished product.

UPDATE

We lately added this antique French sideboard as well as moved the other slice into the living room.

Lisa Farmer-

This French slice features wonderful ormolu, marquetry and a greenish marble top.

Also added the French Louis XIV sunburst mirror.

Lisa Farmer -

I had been looking for an antique sunburst mirror to layer over the mirror higher upward the dining room mantle.

Lisa Farmer -

An onetime poplar closet is similar a shot displaying the antique dinnerware I have got started collecting. When I changed the dining room my onetime Limoges sadly didn't locomote anymore.

Lisa Farmer -

I have got started collecting some dissimilar antique PRC patterns for role inwards the dining room. I don't assist for matching sets as well as would rather opt for a cohesive mis-matched look. These are discontinued of course of didactics as well as difficult to observe as well as then patience is required. This is Copeland Spode, Raeburn pattern...........

Lisa Farmer -

and this is Royal Cauldon, Jessamine. The soup bowls are Spode Vienna Bird pattern. If whatever of yous dealers as well as booth owners have got whatever delight permit me know!!!!

Lisa Farmer -

  Lisa Farmer -

 This is Chanel, striking a pose equally usual. H5N1 smashing onetime crude icon of a castle ruin is higher upward the window. An onetime poplar closet as well as antique cerise painted tabular array fill upward up this corner.

Lisa Farmer -

My favorite French agency is the province chateau await when the domicile was a identify to escape to from the metropolis for residuum as well as relaxation, picnicking, hunting, as well as frolicking nigh out of the stuffy costumes associated alongside courtroom or Parisian dress. I dearest this onetime pic of French nobles doing only that.

Lisa Farmer

This is looking inwards through the trouble solid unit of measurement room door as well as is in all probability my favorite persuasion of the dining room. I dearest a French hunting lodge await (even though I would never kill an animal) as well as the hunt tapestry, trophy mounts, as well as hunt inspired carved wall decor give the effect. All the mounts have got been works life inwards antique stores hither inwards the U.S.A. as well as some from Europe. I experience similar displaying them honors the animate beingness to a greater extent than than letting them waste product away inwards some shop. The entrance of the trouble solid is too inwards French hunting lodge agency as well as leads into the dining room.

Lisa Farmer

I am searching for a French bombe breast to teach hither nether the tapestry as well as foolishly permit a painted i skid through my fingers lately for which I kicking myself regularly. There volition endure some other though....just waiting for an auction or Craigslist find.

Lisa Farmer -

Playing closed to alongside a vignette inwards the dining room. French girandoles characteristic as well as onetime shepherd as well as his son, too old  framed hunt tapestry.

Lisa Farmer -

The persuasion looking from the dining room out into the French hall which I painted inwards a imitation limestone technique.

Lisa Farmer -

Trying to accept pictures from all angles as well as then yous tin have got a panoramic persuasion as well as non claiming to endure a skilful photographer. I was going to have got some professional person pictures taken for my website but similar a shot that I'm retired it only doesn't seem that important.

Lisa Farmer -

This door has ever perplexed me because it never genuinely seemed to belong inwards this room. I lately bought a smashing onetime covert at auction as well as the identify I wanted to role it would alone accommodate  iii of the iv panels. We decided to hang a panel on the onetime door as well as it works for us.

Lisa Farmer -

The covert is gilded burnished leather alongside crude icon of swags, bouquets, as well as architectural elements. Hard to come across inwards the pic but lovely inwards the correct light.

Lisa Farmer -

UPDATE

I lately made an update alongside this antique French piece. I moved the other into my office. Also works life this candelabra as well as paid $40.00 for it as well as it's twin which is inwards my chamber now. They were inwards pieces but all pieces were at that topographic point alongside exception of i prism. I gauge people idea it was ruined. Glad they did!!!

Lisa Farmer -

The French trumeau mirror was an unbelievably smashing find.

Lisa Farmer -

This onetime etching of Louis XIV on horseback during the Carousel of 1662 is interesting. The Carousel was an trial celebrating the nascence of the Dauphin as well as 25-year onetime Louis XIV wanted to brand the most of it. It was held on June 5, half dozen as well as 7, non at Versailles but betwixt the Louvre as well as the courtyard of the Tuileries, similar a shot called the Place de Carousel. Close to 15,000 people gathered to sentry the grand spectacle.

The subject for this trial was a tribute to the 5 most exotic countries at the fourth dimension as well as each was represented past times a quadrille. In plough each quadrille was headed past times a fellow member of the courtroom as well as each quadrille had its' ain color scheme, theme, etc. associated alongside that country. The 5 quadrilles would perform mock charges at each other where they fired small, scented balls inwards brilliant colors to amuse to spectators. Not alone the courtiers were clad inwards lavish costumes. Their followers wore helmets shaped equally dragons, fish as well as parrots as well as fifty-fifty the King's Equus caballus was dressed to impress.

Lisa Farmer -

My favorite fourth dimension inwards the dining room is inwards the eve when the walls accept on a wonderful novel color as well as the calorie-free from the chandelier as well as girandoles teach far sort of magical.

Many of you lot already know that the foyer was painted inward a simulated limestone technique several years agone every bit a DIY project.

Lisa Farmer -

We honey a French hunting gild expect but practice non hunt. The taxidermy pieces inward this room together with also inward the dining room are all saves from shops hither together with inward Europe. I experience similar it is a shape of animate beingness rescue, taking them from attics together with dusty shops together with giving them a identify of prominence. I constitute these swell antique sconces together with Tim, who loves to calorie-free things, rewired together with got them upward together with running. This French settee industrial plant for directly but I am hoping to recover it inward an former tapestry I take away maintain when I experience the ask for a novel project.....down the route a bit.

Looking dorsum towards the front end door.

A French vignette on a painted slice every bit you lot come upward inward the front end door. It is difficult non to include a truthful cat inward the images since they follow me approximately every bit before long every bit I kickoff taking pictures. They are such divas.......especially Sophie.

Lisa Farmer -

The former lithographs are after French painters Watteau together with Lancret. I honey them because the colors are together with thus soft together with muted together with exquisitely detailed. They truly take away maintain to a greater extent than color amongst natural lighting.

Lisa Farmer -

This is quaint winding stairway off the French mode hall leads upward to 2 bedrooms that take away maintain larn out a sitting room together with bedroom, directly known every bit the Man Cave, since Zach moved out. Tim loves collecting what he calls "mantiques" for his industrial/world traveler/archaeologist type space. Well that's the best means I tin ship away clit it. It's a truly neat infinite together with he loves it. He has constitute some swell pieces

Lisa Farmer -

Maybe I should take away maintain taken these pictures during the twenty-four hr catamenia together with thus the colors would present upward better.

Nearly 4,000 of y'all conduct maintain been form plenty to come upward each fourth dimension a room is added to the tour.  Thank y'all for visiting!!!!!

Our sitting/family room is the concluding on the tour. No pictures allowed of Tim's 2 room homo cave upward stairs. I dear it but am non successful at talking him into it. For this room nosotros wanted an Old World French/English feel.......pretty but leaning towards the masculine. When Zach comes to see I am a chip outnumbered. Actually it's my gustation too. As I conduct maintain said before, I similar Versailles amend when it was a hunting lodge too non thence fru fru.

Anyway hither it is, hope y'all enjoy. Again I apologize for my photography too lighting problems. You tin toilet learn to all the other rooms through links at the bottom of this post service if y'all want to see them.

Lisa Farmer-

This room that nosotros run equally a household unit of measurement expanse was originally the dining room of this onetime house. Since it is towards the dorsum of the house, where in that location is to a greater extent than privacy, nosotros run it equally a sitting room too I moved the dining room to the front, across the hall from the living room. The wall color is a muddied aqua too is truly truer here, but without the flash the moving ikon is likewise dark....so the walls hold off a chip greener inwards most of the pictures.

   Lisa Farmer-

A chip brighter! The room is perfect for a chip of TV, reading, or when Zach is hither it gets turned into a game room. We are large boardgamers. Not the onetime Sorry or Monopoly games, but the newer Euro board games that conduct maintain adventures too mysteries that tin toilet accept 3 to 4 hours to solve.

Lisa Farmer-

The left side of the room is pretty much dominated past times the antique oak Welsh closet too the tapestry (which for roughly argue looks chocolate-brown inwards this moving ikon but is truly green). The oak washstand is a household unit of measurement slice that I know has been painted too stripped 2 unlike times during my lifetime. Painting slice of furniture is sure non a novel trend. Next to it is an onetime demi john inwards it's master copy wooden crate.

The Welsh closet sits on a base of operations amongst a carved scalloped apron too cabriole legs. I dear the Medieval experience of the closet amongst it's Gothic doors too corking carving at the top. See how light-green the tapestry is......that is what it truly looks like.

My Staffordshire collection. I simply started collecting this summertime too am falling inwards dear amongst these wonderful pieces of English linguistic communication pottery. Will shortly last publishing a weblog post service close them too their history. But hither is a chip of info. While the men tended to the higher terminate pottery too porcelain, unskilled women too children painted the Staffordshire figurines. That is why they conduct maintain that naive folk fine art charm to them.

Lisa Farmer-

Looking from the sitting room into the dorsum hall.

You tin toilet run into this on the closet higher upward too I want y'all could run into inwards person. I dear unique too interesting things too this is a large souvenir mass from Fountinbleu circa 1900. It is sage light-green amongst gilded lettering that truly doesn't exhibit upward well. I also conduct maintain the smaller ruby-red 1 y'all run into from Malmasion, too 1 inwards my component subdivision from Versailles too the Trianons.

It is 12 X ix too has roughly beautiful drawings of the interior too exterior. There are twenty-five inwards all on difficult postcard similar stock. Very detailed too all written inwards French.

Lisa Farmer-

The beautiful candelabras amongst rose marble too onyx bases came to me from a friend inwards France.

Lisa Farmer-

This tapestry is all inwards needlepoint amongst the figures existence done inwards petite point. For roughly argue their colorful costumes inwards muted pinks, blues, too yellows don't come upward through. I took the pictures inwards every lite too on every agency I could but yet no luck.

Lisa Farmer-

I dear petroleum paintings of landscapes, particularly ones involving castles. Also, the antique needlepoint tapestry over the curtain contains a castle too came from an estate auction. You'll run into close-ups subsequently thence y'all tin toilet run into the colors better. This is the alone room that didn't conduct maintain a fireplace too yet is the coolest room inwards the work solid thence I bought the imitation 1 amongst infinite heater to warm things upward a bit.

Some of the castle paintings.

My favorite is the 1 at night.

Lisa Farmer-

I constitute a gear upward of these antique damask covered French chairs too planned to run them inwards here. It's a chip likewise crowded amongst 2 thence the other sits inwards my bedroom. There is a bath through that door but is long too narrow too difficult to photograph.

Lisa Farmer-

This was an antique wardrobe I constitute this summertime on Craigslist. It was twice equally deep too had mirrors inwards the front. I needed a bookcase (actually demand 2 more) thence I had this cutting inwards two, shelves made from the excess, too nosotros installed the glass. I am really pleased amongst the result.

Lisa Farmer-

This large mitt embroidered slice on overstep of the bookcase is 1 of my favorite treasures. I collect antique heraldry too handmade textiles too was delighted when I constitute this at an auction.

Lisa Farmer-Eye For Deign

Well, I approximate y'all conduct maintain to conduct maintain something modern.......but if I must, it has to sit down inwards front end of an onetime French tapestry. All the BIG amusement is upstairs inwards the Man Cave. Don't learn me wrong, I similar tech gadgets likewise too piece I relish having Alexa playing music inwards every room.......I simply don't desire to hold off at her. I locomote on all gadgets good hidden.

Lisa Farmer-

A twain of views looking into the dining room
