Happy, happy, happy...
{image from here}
Today I am happy.......the sun is shining, the plasterers are here working on what is going to be our new bedroom/ensuite bathroom and I am working on the interior of our new kitchen.
The photo above, is my inspiration for our new kitchen/dining area. The reason I like it is because it has all the items that I love, fabulous monogrammed tea towels, louis style chairs, fabulous curtains and of course, some cafe au lait bowls.
As you know I already have the same chairs as in the photo and am planning on giving them the "patine" treatment.
Tomorrow we are off to collect an antique oak table that has a planked style top with drawers at either end, I cannot wait to collect it as I have been searching for one for a long time.
We are going to have a small window seat so I have ordered a fabulous cushion for this area, from Toast.
I am planning on having a kitchen island so I am on the hunt for two bar stools and would like a pair of antique ones, if possible.
So now you know what I am going to be doing for the next month or so, driving Mr FF crazy with all my kitchen design ideas and scouring the brocantes and vide greniers for fabulous, french items to go in my new kitchen/dining area.
Vous souhaitant à tous une belle journée,

p.s. have not forgotten about sharing my other purchases from last week's "baguette expedition" with you but it is difficult to photograph today whilst the plasterers are working, so will show you tomorrow!
What a gorgeous project to be working on! Can't wait to see your table - sounds fabulous. Enjoy the sunshine. Leigh
