Hello!
I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.
I haven't had much of a chance to blog lately....
We recently moved and life has been a little crazy for us the past couple of months.
We only moved fifteen minutes away.
We bought our first house : )
We believe it to be at least a hundred years old.
We are currently in the process of renovating it : )
I will start sharing pictures on my blog as soon as we have internet hooked up : )
I have been posting pictures on instagram.....
This is a picture of the garage....
I fell in love with the garage the moment I saw it....
I painted the shutters Farrow & Ball's Manor House Gray.....
I am going to turn it into a work studio....
An image of a vintage French trugg that I will be listing in the shop....
***********************************
Lilacs are one of my favorite flowers.....
Bleu was quite curious when I brought these into the house....
She couldn't stop smelling them : )
****************************
The front door to our house is a dark green color....
I plan to paint the door a dark gray color....
The steps are a bright red color.....
I plan to paint them gray also.....
What color would you paint the doors and steps?
******************************
I also wanted to share a few pictures of our French Bulldogs.......
Ella when she was just eight weeks old checking out her reflection in the mirror for the first time.....
An image of my daughter's litter of French bulldogs she has available.
You can email Nicole, my daughter if you are interested in a French Bulldog Puppy...

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Take Care,
Maria

I love the pictures of your new house. I'm very curious how it will turn out. The door in gray must be fabulous. I like the steps in red though; they seem to be part of the house like this. Succes with everything and greetings from Holland.

Oh how beautiful! Didn't know you were on Instagram, so I popped over there now, as that's where I spend most of my time!
Maria, congratulations on your home. You must be so very excited. And congrats to Nicole on a beautiful litter of Frenchies. I am sitting here drinking my coffee with my daughter's little Frenchie Henry Francis. And of course he's sleeping/snorting loudly.
I have started painting and would love to use some of your flower photos as inspiration, with your permission of course.
Chania
I love Frenchies, they are the best dogs!
What a dream! Pups are adorable and I heart the colors you have chosen to paint! Congrats on your new home!!
Oh, congratulations Maria on your beautiful home! I am so glad you are "back" and I am encouraged in my decision (several months ago) to paint my own front door a dark grey. Oh those doggies-pure joy!
Congratulations on your new home! Looks lovely so far!

Congratulations on your new house. I love the garage.
Those puppies are adorable!
I'd paint those stairs grey and you could go with a bright door if you like a pop of colour.
Hope that you will show us the inside too when you get a chance.
yay for a new journey i cannot wait to watch you work your magic!
It's going to be a beautiful journey in your new (old) home!
I'm loving those steps to the front door, and the color white and grey's are a perfect combination.
See you soon.

hello Maria! congratulations on your wonderful new home...it will be just amazing like every thing you do. I did ask my dog Millie if she would like a new Frenchie for a companion and she said yes ; o))) She loves little dogs.
So happy to see you blogging again
cheers, Kelley

Congratulations to you all, Maria! How exciting for you! With all of the hard work of renovating an old house comes a complete and utter sense of feeling grounded and embraced and true love for it. I can hardly wait to see the changes you make to it. I know they will be gorgeous! What happened to the house you were living in....? Just curious. :)

Congrats on the new home, can't wait to see what you come up with!
I LOVE the red steps, especially against the white home.
If it where me I would keep the steps as is and paint the door Benjamin Moore Chelsea gray.
Those puppies are delicious, I might just have to inquire :)
I am so excited for you and your pictures are beautiful, as always! Good to hear from you again.

Congrats Maria on your new home!!! I had no idea you had a new IG account, i'm so happy you mentioned your handle now i can get all your beautiful photos in my feed again :) and your daughter's litter is adorable!
Oh God, those doggies are just too cute. I can't believe you got them all lined up and in group photos like that. They are funny!
And Cool! You bought a house and you have a garage for a workspace! I love old houses. It'll be so fun watching you fix it all up!
Cindy
Congratulations Maria! I just adore that garage of yours, and can't wait to see how you decorate your new home. What a wonderful feeling. Enjoy this time...
Congratulations on your new home! I love everything about it and it just screams, YOU! I would paint the steps and door grey too. So pretty with the rest. I love the stone on the steps. The puppies are beautiful and I wish I could take them all! I don't think my hubby would agree and it's not the right time. But if only...
Beautiful dogs and congratulations for the new house!! It looks amazing!

Congratulations on your first home, it looks so pretty, I am sure you will transform it into a lovely home with cottage style. The garage is also very cute as you say and I love the colours of the shutters. Very similar to the old French shutter I have just hung in my home office.
Your photos are fabulous, your dogs are adorable and I have been pinning away.
Lee :)
How exciting for you, and your family, Maria!! and you'll have your own studio! So much work ahead of you...but a labor of love, I'm sure.
The puppies are adorable!
