Tiny Cottage Style
Ever since Sandra Foster's parents lost their home when she was a teen she longed for something to call her own. Although she continued to endure financial hardships in her adult life along with her husband, she finally found her refuge. She renovated a 19-by-14 foot cottage in the Catskills all on her own. Her shabby and chic studio is decorated extensively in all white with European touches throughout. We think the tiny cottage is decorated beautifully and would love to escape there daily. What do you think of the European styled cottage, ...
French Inspired Celeb: Suzanne Somers
Actress Suzanne Somers' 65-acre Palm Springs home is made up of 7 different suites and houses which are all decorated lavishly. She used a French country theme throughout each of them leaving a trail of romance with a pop of color. We love the way she infused her French design with bright colors you wouldn't normally associate with French antiques or interiors. What do you think? Images from Hooked on Houses
French Inspired Celeb: Drew Barrymore
When actress Drew Barrymore moved her production company to a Deco-styled building she bought in interior designer Ruthie Sommers to help her decorate. Working together, the two created a relaxed design that incorporates Drew and her staff’s personalities and French aesthetic. Throughout the office which seems ‘un-office’ like, there are French provincial pieces and playful images that inspire the actress. Check out these pictures of Drew’s French inspired office which appeared in the now defunct Domino magazine. To see more of Drew's office visit The French Provincial Furniture.

French Travel: The Small Fishing Village of Honfleur
If you have never been to Honfleur, you need to go! Honfleur is a beautiful small fishing village in the Normandy region of France. Just being in such a beautiful place makes one think they're dreaming. The town is just so picturesque and boasts of fabulous places to eat, enchanting shops to peruse, and historical monuments to visit. There is a wonderful Creperie that my father-in-law raves about in this wonderful village. He had the most incredible hamburger crepe of his life here, and we have the pictures to prove it!!!! The shopping in this small town ...
Parisian Style on Pebble Beach
Posted on August 30, 2010 · Leave a CommentNeed some French-inspired interior design inspiration? How about a suburban-Paris styled house on Pebble Beach off the coast of California? We found pictures of this European design by Betty Burgess on Veranda. Rooms throughout the house incorporate actual materials from French homes and furnishings from France. The master bathroom’s design was even inspired from the beautiful and minimalist Hôtel Le Bristol in Paris. It also features a La Cornue range and French garden that we posted on a little while back. We think the interiors have the regal air of Parisian design and the comfort of a Californian beach house. What do you think?
Luxurious Girl’s Room
Posted on August 26, 2010 · 3 CommentsIf you have so many French antiques that you want to spread them all over your house we encourage you to go for it. They can even be included in the most unexpected rooms, such as your daughter’s room. We found these pictures of a young girl’s French inspired bedroom and fell head-over-heels. The luxurious design uses soft muted colors and a cozy bed that mimics a sofa. However it is the antiques that make this child’s room pure elegance. The brown, tasseled chandelier, antique chest and tea set create the perfect European bedroom scene. The small additions of plush stuffed animals give the room the ultimate touch of a child without sacrificing the style. This is the type of room a little girl can grown into and always enjoy. Do you love it, or think it’s too sophisticated for a child?
