... my ultimate dream is to have a home in the South of France... sigh

What's one of your ultimate dreams?

The Perfect Combo...

Check out this charmer located in Mallorca!  They bring both inspirations from Provence and the English country side.  The soft neutral tones are the perfect backdrop for both the elegant and rustic!

Such a beautiful, warm, cozy home... this is a home I would never want to leave!

Les Fifoles

I love getting a sneak peak into people's homes to see the way they love to live and decorate!  It gives me a look-see into their personality!

I love how interesting this beautiful French home is, I wish I could give you more information on the owner and where the home is located, but the writing was all in French!  Dang... I wish I could speak French!!

For now we'll just have to use our imaginations:

This darling French chic knows how to decorate!  I love how she has combined all her vintage finds into perfect little vignettes throughout her home - so funky and fun!

I love this classic, rustic Provencal look - each piece has a story with tons of history:

Enjoy your week!

Wishing I Could Go...

One of my dreams I'm dying to make happen in the next couple of years is to take a fabulous trip with Kit (Chic Provence Design Tour).  I have seen images of some of the beautiful places they see: homes and villages filled with simple, earthy French county architecture; spaces that are elegant, decorated with the perfect accessories in muted blue-gray tones that echo the lavender country side.  I so wish I could go...

So Kit - I will be seeing you in person sometime in the near future, after I get a life and stop building homes.

Most of the above images where taken by Kit when they stayed at Hotel la Mirande.  This particular hotel was once a castle built for the Cardinal in 1309 AD.  It has been tastefully restored and designed by the Stein family - as you can tell it's perfection.  The Stein family wanted guests to feel as if they were staying in the home of an old family from the Provencal aristocracy. 

This hotel is just a small sample of some of the beautiful places you will see and stay at when you travel with Kit (Chic Provence Design Tour)!

Simple Beauty ...

Nothing says simple beauty to me more than Chateau de Moissac:
