Le Grand Salon!
I’m here! In my lovely French home – and you know what? It is really lovely. Could be warmer but with fires in all the rooms and extra blankets for the boys (and cashmere bed socks for me!) we can snuggle down.
And today when the pompiers came round for their annual donation (in return for which you get a calendar full of fire warden activities – recovery position anyone?) we were able to invite them in for the first time since we moved here. They decreed our salon ‘tres jolie’ and although it’s not finished yet I thought you might like to see some pics.
And if you don’t mind I’ll get back to playing Mastermind, listening to Plan B (and explaining to Sebastian why it’s Ok for HIM to use the F word?) and drinking red wine from our cubivin!! Oh and waiting for Uncle Richard and Stuey to arrive!!
Fake Christmas tree (for emergencies such as these – you try finding a tree on December 27th)

So pretty and serene! I really like your wall sconces! And your fireplace surround! And everything else! :0) Enjoy!
Wow

Like the juxtaposition of traditional French and contemporary, well judged mix!
A couple of great chandeliers in Achica clearance sale yesterday, join quick!!
HI, it looks very cosy there, I’ve had my eye on that black and white rug for ages, just not sure where it will go.
Have a great Hogmanay, x
thank you all for lovely comments – I too had eye on the black and white (IKEA) rug for ages and knew it would be perfect for somewhere – THIS is the place (though the cream bits are already v grubby from just one trip there!) xx
