Rustic French

This particular style in the photos i have displayed is truly 'my style'. I love the rustic french look with a passion; its simple yet easy to live with and yet functional at the same time. A lot of people go for the modern clean lines because they believe it is easy to keep clean. I actually disagree i think if it has that worn weathered look it doesn't show the dirt like sleek clinical styles do.









Don't you love the armorer in the lime wash; truly beautiful in every way without being overly fussy with carving. Probably more likely a Gust avian piece rather than French. These photos are from Houston house. I hope you enjoy them as much as i have.

    Ohhhhhh! It is so beautiful it is exactly the look I am wanting in our next and last! house. I wonder if my French Grandfather has influenced my love of all things simple French?

    Amanda, they are gorgeous. I adore the rustic french style as it is something that you see a lot of in rural France. The locals take it for granted as it is normal for them.

    I had some locals in the shop yesterday and they said that they have never though about framing old grain sacks so were verty taken with the one that I have framed above the fireplace.

    Bon weekend,

    ps Let me know which of the burlap designs you prefer and I will put 2 of the cushion covers aside for you.

    Hi Amanda,

    Enjoy these pictures today, very classic, very gorgeous. I couldn't agree more, never a lover of modern sleek lines, at least with this style the more you use it the better looking it gets! Have a great weekend.
    Take care.
