Raw Beauty...

I just can't get enough of the French aesthetic!

Every unique and beautifully decorated home is usually owned by an antique dealer, as is this one.

I can't think of anything more dreamy than a charming French cottage in Nimes, France:

Loving the crisp white walls coupled with the perfect balance of antiques!

Don't you just love the blue painted ceiling?!  It's as though they're bringing the bright blue sky into the bedroom... sigh

Tine K Of Denmark

I can never get enough of this company... Tine's take on French/Scandinavian influence goes beyond the traditional.  The combinations of chalky, smokey gray hues with hints of pastel purples and blues give this style a sense of creative personality.   The aesthetic of this company allows one to to build off the look and be creative:

Emanuele Marchesini

Thanks to a special reader, I was able to learn about a new incredible interior designer by the name of Emanuela Marchesini! She is Italian and is the owner of a beautiful store in Italy.

Her taste is the perfect blend of French romanticism/shabby chic.  All of her images are so dreamy; so if you're interested in this particular genre of design - you will love the images below:

I'm assuming this is the door to her beautiful shop in Italy.

This door is gorgeous!!!

Thank you Belinda for finding this beautiful interior designer for me!

These images visually reveal the magical world of Provence and its unique aesthetic that has evolved over thousands of years.  Each picture has so much charm and history.  These are images I could look at all day and never get bored.

I couldn't forget to mention the art and craft of Provencal soap!

I can never get enough of this region's beautiful, creative lifestyle.  For over two thousand years, local artisans and families worked hard to keep their authentic traditions alive.  Provence reflects such a unique way of life, one which I love dearly!

Have a wonderful week!!!
