French Grain Sack Decor

We all love the way French antiques add elegance and charm throughout our home, but other vintage French items can add just as much personality. So why not throw in a burlap sack? No it’s not the first thing that comes to mind when you begin imagining vintage, french antiques but French grain sacks can provide your room with that certain “je ne sais quoi.” If you’re still skeptical, take a look at the images below of French grain sacks used in decor. We love the authentic, vintage French feel they carry and the texture is amazing. What do you think?Images from Fabulously French

Parisian Style on Pebble Beach

2010-08-30T17:48:00Z

Need some French-inspired interior design inspiration? How about a suburban-Paris styled house on Pebble Beach off the coast of California? We found pictures of this European design by Betty Burgess on Veranda. Rooms throughout the house incorporate actual materials from French homes and furnishings from France. The master bathroom’s design was even inspired from the beautiful and minimalist Hôtel Le Bristol in Paris. It also features a La Cornue range and French garden that we posted on a little while back. We think the interiors have the regal air of Parisian design and the comfort of a Californian beach house. What do you think?

Luxurious Girl’s Room

2010-08-26T12:48:32Z

If you have so many French antiques that you want to spread them all over your house we encourage you to go for it. They can even be included in the most unexpected rooms, such as your daughter’s room. We found these pictures of a young girl’s French inspired bedroom and fell head-over-heels. The luxurious design uses soft muted colors and a cozy bed that mimics a sofa. However it is the antiques that make this child’s room pure elegance. The brown, tasseled chandelier, antique chest and tea set create the perfect European bedroom scene. The small additions of plush stuffed animals give the room the ultimate touch of a child without sacrificing the style. This is the type of room a little girl can grown into and always enjoy. Do you love it, or think it’s too sophisticated for a child?
