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.

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.

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.

The entrance of the trouble solid is too inwards French hunting lodge agency as well as leads into the dining room.
