Oh, Doré,
love love these weathered shades of wood. They look like driftwood with saltstains, so ravishing.
Yeah, still somehow the bay area... the sea, you can smell it in your picture, and the white furniture is somehow like the the white crowns of the waves. Hey, you made me a poet ;))
Thank you for this post, Doré,
Méa
Absolutely perfect my dearest. White is the color, that is for sure. And if at any time we feel like more, we can add some colorful flowers or something special in aqua or green, whatever. But this is the way to life for me. I thought of you yesterday for several reasons. I had some difficult after school, walking...I over-did my day, but I see the ear doctor Monday to hopefully get some answers. THEN I HAD SOME FUN and found that fabulous wooden tray you have, over at Target!
I will email you to ask some questions about white-wash painting. MUCH LOVE TO YOU, DORÉ! Bises, Anita
How right you are: WHITE IS THE COLOUR! Fantastic pictures of your cozy home! I love also all shades of white combined with vintage linens and some rustic elements in wood or zinc. Pure, natural and timeless.
Have a nice Easter weekend,
Sabrina
Each and every photo ~ pure heaven, Dore. I'm going to scroll back up to the top, and leisurely take my time enjoying each and every detail.

So beautiful, I love white also. I whitewashed my fireplace and now am whiting up the room!! I really love that ladder.
I'm back again, Dore.
I wanted to say that the word that stands out when visiting your home... your blog... is 'elegance'. I will have to pay closer attention and look for ways to bring elegance into our tiny cottage.
Hugs,
Lin
So so so very beautiful! I love the chest that you're also using as a coffee table, the little pull out piece...love!!! The colors in your home are so soothing and peaceful:)
I love your little ladder!
I hope you have a wonderful Easter sweet Dore, surrounded by all the beauty you create!
pure serenity. pure loveliness. sigh."merci" for infusing my day with this beauty.....YOUR beauty.
This is such a perfect space, I dream of such beauty. No wonder you create many wonderful treasures, you are surrounded by pure and soothing decor. Much love - Rhonda
Every photo is magazine worth and full of inspiration. I just love your style. My family always groans whenever I start painting yet another find white, I pretty sure you understand. LOL.
This is such a beautiful and soothing palette! I love all the lovely details. Fantastic cofee table! So original. Happy Easter weekend!
Doré,
Everything looks peaceful and heavenly, like being suspended in a cloud. Your plank flooring is incredible.
An enhancement of contrast and dimension. Your sitting room painted floors is striking and ethereal ... Seriously like a serene cloud of relaxation.
You and Hannah have worked so hard on the project and now your efforts speak of wise choices and sheer beauty.
Please feel better. Sending my love and wishes for happy Easter.
XOXO,
Vera
I love all of the texture you have brought out even with the color the same. I think my favorite is the re-purposed coffee table from a dresser. Alaina
Dore your home is always so serene and inviting. Spring cleaning is on my list of to do, some being done others perhaps a bit this holiday weekend.
Enjoy!

Happy Easter,

I think it is all perfect, Cherie! Everything looks gorgeously white and perfectly imperfect! Your photos are so peaceful and serene and simply wonderful!
Perfection that only you can inspire the soul with. What a blessing to stop by here on this day to stare and take in this beauty you have created. Have a blessed Good Friday my sweet friend.
love to you
Kate xoxo
Wonderful whites Dore, these photos make my heart sing!
Nothing sweeter than combinations of white, tin and gray. Love all your pretties and always enjoy your posts of decorating ideas. Thanks for the inspiration.
Your gorgeous home is so peaceful!!! You have a knack for making your home a beautiful work of art, yet keeping it so comfortable and inviting at the same time. Love the idea of using a small chest of drawers as a coffee table. So inspiring!
Mary Alice
Looks great Dore!! I know how hard you & Hanna have worked on those floors! You know I'm a big fan of painted floors & love the way they turned out. Now put your socks on & do some Risky Business! Lol xo Laura

Hello Dore!
Thank you so much for checking in on me...your emails/comments always make my day. I just spent a bit visiting your blog - and not sure where to start! Congrats on the Prairie magazine - those images are so beautiful and obviously Fifi knows she has a true winner with you - smart lady! The artful wire in the prior post stole my heart - you have a the eye of a true artist. I love how you manage to capture all the details without over doing it at the same time. And of course, how I need you to help clean out this mess of a house over here - haha. Your home, always so calming and soothing - the perfect place to ponder and wonder as I call it.
Miss you very much and will be back 100% more sooner than later - getting better every day!
Lot of love and admiration,
Elizabeth - Happy Easter!!
Dear Dore, I love looking at pictures of your home - all the white and weathered wood gives me a feeling of serenity, calm and peace. I love the side table that you built - another inspiration for me.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my blog. I look forward to the upcoming wedding book (I LOVE weddings) I'm sure your daughter's wedding was quite beautiful. It must have been fun and fulfilling to work on the décor and what a wonderful memory to have it featured in a book.

Most gorgeous friend,
I am so thrilled to see you came to visit me today. I knew you would love the photos I shared, for when I saw them, I thought of you and Kerrie. And guess what?For my birthday, my husband is having our builder cut and install EXPOSED BEAMS in our two new rooms! I told Ruben I want to white wash paint the pine wood. I need to get some advice from you....but in the mean time, enjoy this blessed time of year where peace was meant to abide....thank you for your kind words my friend. (my ear is still ringing, but my dizziness has subsided...finally)Anita
Happy Easter May You be very Blessed !
Always such beauty over here and easy on my Eye........
Just Celebrated My Middle Girl's 21st Birthday last night and recovering today.Lol
Thanks for all the lovey eye candy.Hugs !!!
Dore ~ what an incredibly beautifully space you've created there! It's so airy, chic, warm, and cozy - and just oozes with your gift of creating gorgeous vignettes. :)
Have a blessed Easter, sweetie!

Dear Dore,
Warm hugs for Easter time.
Alicja
P.S. Love your blog! It's great inspiration!
I love the shot of the chest of drawers. A piece to treasure.
Dear Dore, Hello sweet friend. I hope you had a blessed Easter. We had a lovely family get together, and dinner, coupled with perfect 78* weather, and sunshine. Ok, now for this post...I LOVE the side table you created! It's perfect for any room. The coffee table, how clever of you to create a cozy, and comfortable area, using a chest of drawers as a coffee table! I love the egg shaped rocks, truly a little treasure! I have a collection of interesting rocks, some found, some gifted from my daughter, Jamie, or my grandsons. Enjoy your week, it is always a great start for mine when I see you have posted. xoxox Christel
Though I adore the allure of all white I am drawn to the juxtaposition of color against the canvas...a vase of scarlet roses in a palace of ice...

Andie
Dore, I've been craving white and light lately! Your photos are just gorgeous!
Susan
Beautiful, just beautiful. I love the coffee table. It's so cool. Your home is just basically a gorgeous three dimensional painting...
Cindy
So lovely. Nothing compares to the pure beauty of white...and you do white like no one else, Dore.

Absolutely beautiful. Dore, Your home is just dreamy.

Dore I noticed that you put your precious Sing And Fly artwork in your shop. I know how much that piece means to you, being inspired by your little Hannah. I do hope you will reconsider. Maybe just tuck it away in storage for perhaps a grandchild's nursery someday. It is such a treasure that I want to encourage you to never part with. xxo Kerrie
Lovely Photos!
Kathrine

Dore, it's amazing the many shades of white are, and they are all gorgeous and work perfectly together! Love your weathered and relaxed pieces that speak to the life they've lived and the love you've given them.
Fabulous!

I just adore the serenity I find here at your blog, Dore. Beautiful photos - love the white flowers and those French floral cans.
Thank you so much for your kind words about the Artful Blogging feature! I just loved your feature and am so excited to be alongside fellow bloggers as yourself. You're spectacular!
I am always enamored by the beauty you create in your home Dore. Sheer
serenity my dear. I also loved the beauty wire creations in your last post. You are such a talent my lovely friend!!!!
sending hugs...
Thank you for your kind visit and comment left on my blog post! I see the gorgeous French chest that you had said you recently white washed. It looks so lovely, as does everything so beautifully photographed here! Your home is elegant yet it appears to be very inviting! I so enjoyed my visit!
Blessings,
Amanda
Bonjour ma belle! Do you know how happy I get when I see a comment from you? I am so thrilled that you came to my post, because I knew that certain images would move you....that fairy in her cocoon dress and pointy hat...oh yes, that is me, wondering about the garden, looking and feeling for something interesting and fun....
My friend, I think of you often. I also am grateful for our recent conversation about my dizziness. It has now been over a month, and I still have it. The imbalance has improved greatly, but the vertigo does come if I turn to quickly to the right. I had an MRI this past Wednesday, and I'm just waiting for the results. I just want to be normal.
But the joy of art and beauty never stop. Thank you for your constant inspiration and I will be contacting you soon about some painting tips! LOVE! Anita
HO HO I am French and Irish, do you have a temper??
Well don;t forget to watch the Derby today I am betting on Wicked Strong, named for Boston Bombing.
yvonne
oh I have that same dish with the 3 rocks in it..

Wishing you a beautiful day.
fondly,
