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
Lovely atmosphere in your living room!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the inspiration <3

Hi Maria~~~~
ReplyDeleteLove 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!
ReplyDeleteMaria,
ReplyDeleteWhere 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
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are just lovely and look perfect in that basket!
ReplyDeleteXO,

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.
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteThe basket looks wonderful filled with the fresh flowers, Maria.
ReplyDeleteYour images are very pretty.
xxoo
Your images are so beautiful and inspiring. It reminds me of a beautiful spring day.
ReplyDeleteHave 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 :)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletewhat a pretty room from what I see so far. Looking forward to seeing it in all it's glory soon.

Hi Maria,

I love the woven basket with the flowers in it. A "dreamy" post - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteCiao Maria!
ReplyDeleteamo molto gli accessori bianchi
Se mi serve qualcosa per la mia nuova casa ti scrivo .......non siamo molto vicine!
Mari

ReplyDeleteOh I wish we could get fresh flowers here! Love the photos. xx
ReplyDeleteHello! 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!
ReplyDeleteLayla
Such a divine space! The french bread looks delish! Enjoy the gorgeous day, Kellie xx
