| Burlap Luxe Home Yes, I do have a kitchenette, and one that most of my creations take place in. I often paint here, and create the products that coat and cover my art pieces. I lift my eyes to the view through the rustic shutters salvaged from an old cedar armoire doors. Timeless.... I will be happy with them years from now. |
 |
| I love the worn damage that one may not approve of, but I find that they charm me. Classic French washed in greys. |
 |
| I favor Greenery... Over flowers. Clippings from the hedges that outline nature in my front yard. |
 |
| Buckets and baskets of all sorts will be filled with what nature so freely offers in giving of thanks. |
 |
| French place settings and French stainless cutlery will set a table of giving. |
 |
| Linens and serving trays will be in use adding French rustic. |
 |
| Baskets will be arranged and filled greeting the season. |
 |
| Lighting will be dimmed. Incase you were wondering this is the $5.00 thrift shop find that I wired with a new $3.99 lighting cord and it was ready to hang, and now hangs over the sink in all its rustic French charm. |
 |
| Peaceful nature and giving of thanks. |

You and I share a love of whitewashed interiors and simplicity. It's always fun to see what you're up to. Your serving pieces and baskets will look great for Thanksgiving!
Doré,
I will be back tomorrow to leave a longer message. "A Giving of Thanks" in a beautiful rustic room that nutures and creates your soulful art. Oh how I love your kitchen in every way, JDL magazine should feature it. The room is such lovely simplistic beauty in every way.
Happy weekend,

Your kitchenette is a lovely place to create! I'm sure it bring peace ans solace which show in your pieces! Blessings, Cindy
Your gorgeous kitchen is such a quiet and exquisitely serene place. It is easy to see why it inspires such beauty as is displayed in your creations. Dore, I love old crocks and,of course, my eye went directly to the top of your cupboards and those two wonderful examples you have placed up there. The armoire doors placed at the window are a wonderful contrast to the sweet lacy swag. In short, I love it all! Have a perfect Sunday, dear friend.
Very luvly indeed Dore . Those shutters and the layering of cloths as hour window treatment, beautiful!
Happy weekend!
Beautiful and elegant. I love the nostalgic feel.
i come here and i just know what will ensue: a long peaceful exhale as i am nurtured with soothing images to massage the soul. thank you, dore, for sharing so eloquently the beauty you create around you. timeless indeed. and gentle. i love the gentle. peace to you right where you are.

Well Doré, at first this gorgeous sivertray caught my eye - it´s divine patina.
But then... your shop soaked in my eyes, as it always happens. This crown, these little tiny shells, WHAT an idea!, spirit on the little shield. Ahhh Doré, it was like a trigger, and BOOOMM I was sitting in this beautiful kitchen, and I saw all this preciousity (ohhh, I hope, you know what I mean, my English sometimes is not so good) in front of me. And I smiled from one ear to the other, full of admiration.
But I am the opposite of peacefulness, I am a ... I think, I have been a squirrel in my former life, I am inspired Unrest. Maybe I would drive you nuts and you would throw me out. But I think, you would just laugh along with me, me, the wuzzle, who visited you today.
So: Huuuuuugs from your friend Méa, who placed you in a calender to come. You will be with me and my friends this christmas :))
Bonjour ma belle! C'est beau et paisible, ta maison!
Doré, everything about your home whispers who you are....a lover of patina's offerings of the past, of a simpler time and a true gratitude for salvages pieces. HOW I LOVE YOUR HOME and vision. The zinc buckets and unpolished silver.....HOW THIS SPEAKS TO ME! Beauty and peace to you mon amie....alors, le 5 décembre! ((I'm so excited))!
Wowwww doré .....like your kitchen beautiful...!!!...always Nice to see your lovely home...have a Nice sunday enjoy love Ria...xxx!

I adore your kitchen, Dore!! Those rustic shutters with the beautiful window treatment are glorious. The beauty and simplicity of the baskets, worn silver, and well loved stools and chair speak of warmth, welcome, and graciousness.

Thank you so much for stopping by and for your Thanksgiving wishes Dore! Your kitchen looks lovely, love the white cabinets and your beautiful little chandelier above the sink. I so wish for a beautiful kitchen like this but, for now, we're renters and gave to make do with what we have...but that's just fine with me:) I'm thankful for what we do have.
I'm really hoping to get a blog post up this week, I'm so behind! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving:)
Dore, your kitchen is so charming and what I would imagine your kitchen looking like. It looks like pages out of one of my French style books! :) The greenery really stands out with all the warm whites and greys. I love all the textures and vintage elements you have in that space too. So lovely and inspiring! Have a blessed Thanksgiving, my friend!
Such a beautiful space to relax or create in...going to pin it to my beautiful kitchens board!
Have a wonderful holiday Dore!
Dore, I love every single detail in these photos! Just beautiful.
Susan
I love the rustic shutters and all of the imperfections! Always love seeing your gorgeous pictures. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Fabulous post...everything's so very stylish. l agree the damage gives your shutters character. They look wonderful.
I have always had all white kitchens
They are easy to change with curtians
Art etc. Any colors work.
Love shutters, you have style Dearie.
Doré I am back to delight in the peaceful beauty of your kitchen. I especially love how casually unplanned it looks and adore the different tonal hues in your signature style. Oh how the textural contast of the gorgeous basket and zinc bucket play off each other. I too like greenery and the greens with what appear to be grapes is pretty. The patina on the silver tray and the old cedar shutters such wonderful Burlap Luxe style! A room to create art and nuture oneself in preparation of food. lovely, simply lovely style.
xoxo,
Vera
Your kitchen is dreamy, Dore. If it were mine I'd never want to leave. Love the shutters; they really are timeless. I hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving with your family. xxx ~ Nancy
Dear Dore, I absolutely love the shutters! and the "new" light that graces the view! I could do dishes, and daydream from that window forever! Wishing you and Hannah a blessed Thanksgiving. Always your fan, and friend, Christel
Chère Doré! BONJOUR! I am finally here, having had yet another parent conference yesterday and this morning, a meeting to attend. But after today, my Thanksgiving week finally begins!
Thank you so much for coming to visit my post. The photo of my dining room is dark because we just have no sunshine at all right now; I prefer to show my home when there is LIGHT coming in, but you did remind me of how I do love the shadows of our French gray mood...I so hope to get some good photos taken this week as I will be home. I HOPE! Thank you for loving my home. I LOVE IT, but again, it doesn't always present the way I would like. OH WELL! Now off to school then home to work on my theatre! LOVE ! Anita
Your home is always such an inspiration as are you. Happy Thanksgiving.
I'm always so inspired when I visit here, Dore. Your kitchen is so peaceful and I adore those shutters. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.
Dear Dore,
This is you.. Quiet beauty... I love your kitchen.. Your beautiful touches bring it to life.
Wishing you and Hannah a joyful Thanksgiving. I am thankful and blessed by your friendship.
With much admiration,
