down home inspiration



God made me for a reason and nothing is in vain. Redemption comes in many shapes with many kinds of pain. Oh sweet Jesus if you're listening,
keep me ever close to you, As I'm stumblin', tumblin', wonderin', as I'm travelin' thru. -Dolly Parton

french b l e u

So I didn't, in fact, take a picture that I think is better than Marianne's beautiful shot of the Seine from my previous post. My focus was distracted while abroad to the beautiful French interiors. I vowed to come home and paint my entire apartment blue with red accents. Let's face it. That's not going to happen. But, it was impossible to not become brainwashed by all the Chateau-hopping that we did on the trip!


Chateau de Bontin. This was a "Courtenay" residence around 1500. We were met by the current owner Monsieur le Baron de Bontin. Notice the light blue shutters. Notice the mote!

Now to the interior.


All the different shades of blue in this room are fantastic. From the two tones on the walls to the furniture, rug, and accessories. Isn't it refined looking? But not too perfect. You know I hate matchy-matchy.

 2nd shot of the room. More blue. More red. More to love.
