Introduction!

Hello Everyone

I have created my own blog to talk about my love for Country French Decor or the French look as some people call it. A while back i decided to start transforming my boring, no style home into a french provincial inspired style home and eventually will transform my garden too! I am by no means an expert, but had to start somewhere so decided to start with painting my house walls antique white and replacing the old carpets with timber flooring. My first inspiration was the purchased of two beautiful Victorian rose pink armchairs, followed by a round mahogany coffee table, all items bought on ebay on a small budget. I had already a beige lounge so decided that black, cream and white cushions would be perfect and a shaggy black rug in the middle of the room. Slowly i began to look for particular items in antique shops, op shops, on my travels around the country etc.. so what i have learned so far is that you can do it cheaply, if you have the time, passion and willingness! And so far i love it and want to share my passion with you all and hopefully i can get ideas from you too!

French Inspiration! My fabulous Armchairs!

Hi Again Everyone I want to share my first purchase that started the transformation of my home to the French look!  I came across one day two beautiful dusty pink armchairs and immediately fell in love with them! When i picked them up from the seller and took them home, they stayed in my spare room for a while until i could figured out where to place them and that is how i thought about starting my own French style at home! Start with one item, like i did and slowly fill your home with things that will create the French look right at home.
