Friday Francais!

In honor of my 14 year old Francophile daughter, I am giving you a little French Friday post! She is my baby and she graduated from 8th grade last night, no longer a child but now officially a high schooler.  She is definitely an old soul who loves anything French or Audrey Hepburn! I picked up a favorite French Style Magazine yesterday and found such wonderful images that I felt transported to France myself.  There is something carefree yet well thought out about a French home. One will find antiques, linens, flowers and of course good food. I know one place in New Jersey that you may find a lovely piece of Paris and that is Bonny Neiman's, in fact she is having a red tag sale at the moment so if you are in the tri-state area you may want to take a road trip! I will try to hit that today in hopes of finding some great things for a client's foyer.
Let's take a tour of Brooke's imaginary French home! Have a lovely weekend everyone and bring a little Paris into your home too.




Our little Chat" Remy" is enjoying the magazine as well!






























This little vignette and portrait really reminds me of Brooke, my petite chou!

  6. Your home is so refreshing. May I please inquire as to the living room wall paint color and brand? I find whites to be so tricky, they are either blue, or gray. You have such a good eye and talent for photography, that your walls appear to be white, like paper white, on my computer screen anyway. I thank you in advance. Enjoy what remains of spring!
