La Petite Maison

Last week, I stumbled upon this amazing doll house with beautiful French-style decor. I was absolutely blown away by the intricacy of the details and the charm of this lovingly crafted work of art. Maybe it seems silly to call a doll house a "work of art" but that's what it looks like to me. 

I hope you enjoy it.

A French Chateau

Let's explore a beautiful French chateau today...

Located in the Lower Normandy region of France, the creamy stone chateau was built in the 17th and 18th centuries. The rooms have been sparingly furnished by the owner, a British fashion designer. In the surrounding grounds and gardens, we find a ruined 11th century chapel, as well as a walled vegetable garden, woodlands, jardin a la francais with fountain, ancient elm avenue, summer house, stream, paddocks, and abundant wild flowers.

Faded grandeur, along with rustic charm, and almost endless possibilities for creating beauty throughout this impressive house are filling my mind with so many ideas this afternoon. 

I can imagine enjoying long holidays with family and friends, and hosting extravagant yet informal dinner parties in such a house. Couldn't you? It would also be a splendid setting for a wedding.

Wedding Wednesday: Château Dream

This wedding is like a dream-come-true! 

Set at Château Lagorce, a 15th century castle in France, a gathering of closest loved ones celebrated the wedding of Michelle and Rob in truly romantic style.

French food and wine... a beautiful custom-made lace bridal gown... a bespoke suit... an heirloom diamante necklace-as-headpiece with vintage veil... exquisite details... sweet simple flowers... all made for an unforgettably elegant and special wedding day.
