Hello!
I still haven't finished writing my living room post, so I thought I would share at least one image today....
Can you guess what is missing?
I will share a few more details about the changes I made on Monday....
I also wanted to share a link to my favorite flower shop.....
It is a family owned and operated flower shop....
They have the best selection of flowers and their flowers always last for a long time....
I have been being so good and not buying any fresh flowers.....
I had to run into their shop last week and couldn't resist....
I haven't ever used ornamental kale before and love it....
They last a long time....
This particular basket is a vintage french apple basket that I will be listing in my shop...
I wanted to show how it could also be used as a gathering basket in the garden by filling it with flowers.....
I love to use these baskets for storing many different odds and ends items such as linens and ribbon....
This little french pie safe that the basket sits on is one of my favorite pieces I have had for a number of years....
At the moment I use it to house my french ironstone collection, that I use on a regular basis....
I have used it as a vcr cabinet, coffee table, a night stand and well just about everything imaginable....
It sits in between my kitchen and dining area....
Sorry it looks a little awkward sitting right where the tile meets the laminate floor area....
I love it here though...
I do not normally have a basket filled with fresh flowers on it either....
I like to keep a collection of blue french canning jars on top for a splash of color....
Also there is still time to enter my Raw Materials Design French Waiter Giveaway......
: )
Enjoy your weekend!
Take Care,
Maria

Hi Maria~~~~
Love the little cabinet--Yummy. I see Kale all the time in gardens, but never thought to use it in a bouquet. Great idea:)
As far as what is missing in your LR??? The mantle???? Just a guess.
Hope you have a great weekend and I hope all is well with you and your family.

My guess for what is missing is your faux fireplace mantel. The huge white chalkboard is in its place? Love it!
Maria,
Where do I begin? I adore the chippy vintage robins egg blue cabinet, your basket full of blooms, the light that saturates your living space, the chalk board...Can't wait to see more!
(Be sure to stop by and see my bathroom renovation.)
Your Friend,
Deborah
Your home images always make me smile. I love ornamental kale as well. I would love to grow it, do you know if it is easy to grow?? Leahx
Your flowers are just lovely and look perfect in that basket!
XO,
Jane

Really beautiful and inspiring space!
New follower and loving your home! The chair is gorgeous and I like the idea of a big chalkboard up against the wall! Flowers are a must and that basket is perfect. All the white is so fresh - I just love it!
My heart beats fast when I visit your blog... Lovely! Thank you for sharing all this inspiration!

Your blog is so inspiring.
I would love for you to visit my blog.

I have used ornamental kale for a long time. I like that no matter what the season or whatever greenery/flower you put it with the kale works perfectly. It really is like a rose.
I use it at Christmas with draped cedar and it looks spectacular with blue hydrangea.
I love your little blue cabinet - it could be used in any room.
I sure love your photography! Ornamental kale is surprisingly pretty, don't you think?
The basket looks wonderful filled with the fresh flowers, Maria.
Your images are very pretty.
xxoo
Your images are so beautiful and inspiring. It reminds me of a beautiful spring day.
Have al nice sunday
Linda

Not seeing the sectional sofa in front of the black board and the angle of the room is not revealing enough, such a mistery at this point, can't wait to see the BIG REVEAL... Every peaceful inch of it :)
I am working on some French farmhouse pieces I am building them from scraps of this and that and salvage from the wood pile. I will soon be posting a euro chic piece here and there in my home.
Good and pure Sunday to you, a beautifully inspiring week to follow.

Thanks for taking this opportunity to discuss this, I feel fervently about this and I like learning about this subject. If possible, as you gain information, please update this blog with more information. I have found it really useful. A florist red deer is a person developing floral preparations and selling them. The plant shop covers floral preparations, which is an art of making flowers, structure of decorative lawn, herbs, foliages and flowers leading to a beautiful design.
what a pretty room from what I see so far. Looking forward to seeing it in all it's glory soon.

Ornamental kale is quite beautiful! I just learned about it the other day. Beautiful decor!
Just beautiful! I'm a new follower! ♥

We have the ornamental kale everywhere in our garden but I never have cut any to bring in the house. Great idea. Love your aprons.

Hi Maria,
Oh everything in your home is just beautiful and inspiring!!! Oh and I love your new profile pic - you are beautiful just as you are talented. :) By the way, thank you so muh for the vintage butcher's twin that you mailed and for the extra touches in the package. I wrote about what I did to your twin in a post that I did a few weeks back on my "February Mantel." :) Wishing you a most lovely day!
Hugs,

I love the woven basket with the flowers in it. A "dreamy" post - thanks for sharing!
I love all the pieces we see in the first image. I have serious blackboard envy and would love one just like yours- am inspires to get hubby to knock one up out of our recycled antique skirting which is painted white. I love all the different chairs in that room too- very serene. xxCorrina.
Ciao Maria!
amo molto gli accessori bianchi
Se mi serve qualcosa per la mia nuova casa ti scrivo .......non siamo molto vicine!
Mari
I love the white accessories
if you need something for my new home, write you ........although we are not very close!!!!

Just received my package in the mail! Thank you so much, everything was wrapped so beautifully and the lavender smelled divine!! I will be ordering from you again SOON!! Love your home and surroundings, you are truly so talented! Heather from Montana
Oh I wish we could get fresh flowers here! Love the photos. xx
Hello! I don't know how else to ask you questions. We are about to buy a new home, what shade of white should I choose to start. I need something general, just in case I have to paint several rooms. Thanks!
Layla
Such a divine space! The french bread looks delish! Enjoy the gorgeous day, Kellie xx
