| The natural French home is predominantly filled with soft colours quietly taking on its surroundings with texture that dismiss a loud glance. I am bringing in this new winter with milky whites, treebark beige, and winter greys warming it with gentle tones of age. |

It's all very beautiful and calm, Dore. I really love the touch of the winter garden and the manner in which you are welcoming the new year.. xoox
Oh No...I recently sold in the shop a metal washstand just like the one at the beginning of your post...what was I thinking?!
Dore, you are such an artful blogger with the most wonderful inspiration that just seems to flow from within!

So beautiful to view your Winterplay, Dore! There is nothing more consoling to me than folding, stacking or wrapping oneself in vintage linen.
...ah the hedge berries! Let Heaven and nature sing!
To you, Hannah and Pia Bleu!
Seasons Blessings!
Happy New Year!

Oh Dore.....you truly know how to create an atmosphere of serene winter beauty. I love the rustic simplicity; the soft shades of grey, taupe, and white; the feel of peace and calm. You have poured your beautiful soul into your home and it shows.

Doré,
Peaceful winter arrives to Burlap Luxe with your soulful rustic appreciation of French pieces graced with age. The patina on the washbasin is lovely. Love the garden chandelier lite by candles. Simple beauty in all you do. Wishing you and Hannah and petite Pia Bleu happiness and health in the New Year. Happy Birthday Doré, may this new year be marked by fun adventure and joy.

Vera
Just beautiful! You are a true artist. I love how you mirrored the feeling of winter inside. You've captured it! Happy New Year! ~julie
The natural colours give me good feelings, especially after a colourful Christmas. And the iron table, I love it!
Happy New Year!

Oh, so beautiful, how winter and winterlight changes our senses. Everything lookes more charakteristic, and your pictures, aaaahh, it is so difficult to handle color, don ´t you think? But you really managed it, in your gentle and careful way of an artist.
The rustiv washstand, ahhh, so good to leave it like this, not to whiten it, as most of the people would have done. It plays it´s conterpart to all the whites and greys.
So the colors, ohoh, to turn them into "formidable" and melting in, is sooo hard. You gave us a lesson, how to do it. Because else, something would be missing.
Hugs to you, your follower Méa, who still is waiting for her New Year, as my year will start in the night from the second to the third of January.
Beautiful photos, Dore. I love the color of the berries. You put eveything together so beautyfully. Love your home.
Wish you a wonderful New Year and I look forward for all your posts that are coming this year.
Big hug from here
Hi Becky...!!!...beautiful...!!...Happy new year....in good health...lots of love joy and peace....love Ria...!!
Good morning, ma chère amie! What a glorious way to winter the storms, the cloudy days and snow....to stay cozy in our French homes. All your vignettes are perfectly placed. This past week for me was so refreshing to stay home,sit in my sun-lit parlor and to read, looking up once in a while to take in a whiff of my own French beauty here.
You had asked to see more of my home. My new blog post has some images, and you are most welcomed to see. I hope to have more in the weeks to come. Much love to you and thank you for always being there! Anita
Pure. Natural. Beautiful.
How I love everything you share, Dore!!!

Wonderful vignettes and that yummy little table. I'm looking for this beautiful simplicity this year. Happy New Year, Dore!
Gorgeous! I too am in love with neutrals.
I find myself loving the metal stand and the white linens look perfect adding just the right touch for a little corner
Dore, I was so happy to see a new blog post from you! I love your simple natural style. It has inspired me for this New Year ahead and I hope to have a more simple and relaxing home with a more neutral palette. You should do a French Décor book with all your lovely pictures of your perfectly French style home! I would buy it in a heart beat! I hope you have a very blessed New Year in 2015! Look forward to more of your inspiring blogs and seeing what new things you have in store with your shop! Love and hugs from your friend, Lisa
I love your tranquil decor.
My sweet one,
Good afternoon! I am so sorry that you too have been hit by that awful virus; other California friends have had it too, and I so hope you get better soon. There is nothing like wanting to create with your spirit but your body not cooperating! Thank you for visiting my post. I will come via email to show you some photos I took this morning, but I'll just share them via email. Still not able to get good lighting in my great room! Back in a minute, Anita
Winter never looked so warm!
When I visit your beautiful French country home I am calmed and inspired. It is so lovely and you are original and creative in your designs. Happy New Year to you and your family.
What a wonderful post. Everything is beautiful and all the sudden everything starts to be quiet!
Have a happy happy happy New Year
