Doré I breath and soak in the rustic French charm in your home filled with inspiration and I exhale a peaceful relaxation. I love your expression found art - art found. I spy the most beautiful weathered grey basket in your kitchen, Ahhh always a feast for the eyes and soul to enjoy in each of your photos. What an exciting year 2015 was with your creative art and gorgeous French home that has authentic charm. So excited to see the beauty you bring in 2016.

You have such a way of taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary! There's a sense of peace and calm throughout your French home. I always love to be invited into your kitchen...rustic elegance! And I adore the beautiful chandelier with the natural candle covers...perfect!
I'm settled in and loving my little cottage, Dore, gleaning so much inspiration from you!!

I love your kitchen. I love the basket, the small cabinet, and so on. I even like the way you placed the towel. :) I have a small cabinet that I found in a second hand shop for twenty dollars so dollars, but I have not had a chance to place. I also keep debating whether to paint my island an old white except for the butcher top. I think it might look nice, because my cabinets are a faint gray. I so look forward to the beauty you create here, and I love your etsy. xoxo Su

The weathered look of your creation melts completely with your rustic french look to make your home a place of deeper feelings.
The zinc adds contrast to it, makes it noble, not just nice-nice (I hope, you understand, what I mean, it is hard for me... ).
Beautiful, oh, I wished, i could be there now for a cup of tea with you.
Huggies from your friend Méa

Sherry said...

while your kitchen is absolutely lovely, for some reason i'm especially drawn to the shutters (?) on the window. would love to learn more about what you've done in that area. in addition, your touches here and there, scattered serendipity - delights.

... and such a beautiful life it is, Doré! I look forward to all you'll share this year.

I am still feeling very weak, but hope to continue with my tiny cottage projects later in the year. Cabinets, trimwork, curtains, etc. all are waiting to be made, in soft gray & whites.

Happy New Year, dear friend!
xoxo,
Lin

I love everything about this post. I think my whole house is the definition of French Brocante. Nothing is valuable but nothing is worthless either. Happy New Year, my dear friend.

DD's Cottage said...

Love the calm and my house is full of nothing valuable but nothing worthless too-Love the crusty and old, but like it to be cheerful and calm and bright too!

Bente said...

Happy new year, my friend. I`m so in love with your home. Everything is just beautiful.

Lisa said...

So much beauty to behold! Love all the textures and patinas in your home. It really balances out the shades of white. Your home always inspires me to create and use reclaimed, rustic and vintage things in new ways. Have a very blessed and creative New Year! xo

Beautiful kitchen Dore, we both embrace the love of white, mixed with some rustic and much love for the best place in our homes. The spot where we create magic with food for those we love!
Happy New Year,

Your kitchen is so pretty, I love all the white and brightness of it! I so desperately want a white kitchen when we buy something, but not a brand new white kitchen...something older and a bit hiddly piddly:) Your open white cabinet is so beautiful also. I'm planning on taking the bottom doors off my bedroom armoire sometime so I can display pillows in it:)

Happy New Year Dore!

Jacqueline~Cabin and Cottage said...

Just now seeing this for the first time, Dore! Yummy! Makes my heart sing to see so many things I love in combination. Love your warm style. Happy New Year!

JoanMarie said...

Dore - your collections are simply perfection. I love the aged patina's and how they peacefully mingle together to create such beauty. You are a true artist in every sense of the word and an inspiration to be constantly admired. Thank you as always for sharing such loveliness.

Karen said...

Dore,
Such a calming effect these neutrals have on me. I love the French attitude that things don't have to be perfect. Lovely post. I'm touring some more of your past posts.

"In the details of not replacing the candlestick covers. Leaving them natural and simple." Yes! Oh, yes! So perfect for the charming home you've created, Dore. Do I see your pottery plates in the glass front cupboard? I think I do. Stunning! Hugs, Nancy
