Burlap Luxe Home Photos Dore Callaway Good influences surround me in my country kitchen where French style is inspired by the French countryside. |
Brocante pieces fill the cubbies in a piece that was meant to be. |
I have often wanted to change out the dark farmhouse chairs yet the rural style adds visual to the rooms soft patina. |
Galvanize, zinc and pewter are part of the good that influenced the interior style of no set of rules yet loving in the way objects are used. |
French antique galvanized have been added to vintage mahogany wood with a typography number painted to it adds a bit more French to the rooms decor. They can be found in my etsy shop at www.etsy.com/shop/BurlapLuxe Also will be featured in Fifi O'Neill's new book Prairie Style Weddings due out in spring 2014 |
What's important in a French country home is the way objects are used and pieces are arranged. |
A piece that was meant to be is everything you feel from it. |

Wonderful inspiration for My French Folly......... if you want a real challenge, I have one sitting for you in France! Bisous
Oh Doré!!!! YES! I love the way many of you wonderful photographers can capture the WHITE and gray tones with just one object of color; I cannot seem to get that look from my photos. Your kitchen is a dream. I had corresponded with Fifi as well but she is way too busy to get back to me. Congratulations on getting into her book! Your home is perfect for her look and coming here today is a great way to start my day. I am off to work to teach FRENCH - the most beautiful language du monde! BISOUS BISOUS, Anita
Dear Dore, I also am delighted to start my day at your table. I felt welcomed, and important. You truly have a gift of photography as well as the obvious designing a beautiful home. My best to you always. Xoxo Christel
Such beauty appeared on my sidebar this morn'! Your French kitchen is exquisite, and your GOOD INFLUENCES shall be floating in my head today!
I know that I will be back for a "second helping", on lunch hour at my desk this afternoon!

Hello My Friend! Always some fabulous eye candy over here.Makes my soul feel happy happy happy!
I was missing you.~Cheers :)
Oh Doré,
What time is dinner? The contrast of the darker wood chairs beckons you with a gesture and a promise of a most memorable meal and evening.
It is in the contrast our eyes can appreciate the peaceful soulfulness.of all the white Frenchness. One appreciates the beauty of the white shapes and forms. The amazing round table, the gorgeous open hutch.
I noticed the vintage silver champagne bucket in your lovely hutch. How about you set it out and I'll bring a bottle of Veuve Clicquot ... Dinner at 8?
Your photography as always is excellent.
XOXO,
Vera
I like the look of the chairs myself.I too think it gives it all a soft comfortable feeling.
It's all so B E A U T I F U L!!!
I like the drama the wood chairs bring. I love the warmth of wood tones, even though gray is gorgeous!

Of course you know, I love everything, Dore. Every visit is loaded with inspiration. Such a fantastic mix of neutrals, with just touch of color. The tablescape with the lemons in the glasses is beautiful.
Just gorgeous! Love your unexpected use of metal objects-I love to mix them in, too! And the contrast of the dark chairs is perfect!

Bonjour ma chère!
Ahhh....today it is a beautiful gray morning here, it is quiet, I have no pressing demands on me, only the joy of reading and writing and visiting you. Thank you my friend for your continued support and inspiration, as we both delve into our French worlds of language, décor, friendships and more. How I love what you have going on in your home...and you should see my WHITE PUMPKINS! I need to photograph them today and I'll send you a photo. MUCH LOVE, Anita
Thanks for stopping by and leaving sweet comments. You have a lovely home. Although I don't have a lot of white in my decor, I love to see it in other homes, and you do white beautifully!
