Apple green velvet.
Needlepoint roses.
Pinks and yellows mingling together
& a shabby faded painted frame.
French patina perfection
An antique bust.
Dried hydrangeas.
Lovely old books...
Thought I would share just a few of my favorites...
These antique chairs are definitely my favorite chairs.
oh my goodness how I love these chairs!
In every sense of what I love about french cottage decorating
these chairs speak it.
The shabby old painted carved frames & petite size.
Apple green velvet upholstery,
mixed with the roses and needlepoint on the seat and back.
They are absolutely gorgeous in person.
I was so in l.o.v.e. with them with I found them.
I knew that they would fit no matter where I put them-
the colors and style were perfect for me and the palettes I usually decorate in.
Even if I got a wild hair and decided to go with something totally different,
these chairs would fit somewhere in my romantic french room.
They are french cottage perfection!
Old books just look so good no matter where you place them.
I collect books that have detailed covers,
or interesting titles or
just have the right size and color to their binding
and stack them in cupboards, on shelves or on tables.
A silver container filled with dried hydrangeas & a wee little dog... & this gorgeous bust.
I found it sitting on it's side at the flea market amongst many random things.
You almost didn't see anything except a kind of scary head laying there in the grass.
Her details and color are just gorgeous.
