It is the almost the end of the summer and the house is basically finished. With a few tweaks here and there, and the work on the laundry room scheduled for September, we now have this house for ourselves to live in and enjoy.

The thing with crystal chandeliers in my opinion that a bit of dust or a cobweb here and there only add to the patina and charm.

Walking through a French flea market you will notice heaps of beautifully embroidered vintage and antique linen sheets, kitchen towels...

What defines the style that has been around for ages? When asked what is exactly French Country style, I picture natural wood, stone walls.
