Why I love living in France..


One of the reasons that I adore living in France is because you sometimes fabulous treasures like these chairs. There were 4 available and I purchased 2 for my new bedroom.

The plan is to clean and wax the wood and then cover the seat with antique linen. The other 2 are looking for a home but am sure that they will not be for sale for long.


.......a la prochaine....

p.s. it is a little crazy here at present as I found a lot of treasures at the weekend and I am about to start sorting and cleaning which could take some time!

    I just returned from a buying trip and oh, how I wish I could enjoy your France all the year.

    I posted this special piece found in Paris...asking viewers to 'guess' its original use.

    Those chair are gorgeous! I noticed one the finials are missing, would be cute to find a small bird and maybe a nest to replace it! Just a bit of whimsy!
