Cozying up to French living

The sun was peeking out from behind the skies, giving us all a brief reprieve.  Which is going to be all we will be able to cling on to for the next week, as it's forecasted to continue raining for the next week.

I'd like to be enjoying the pitter-pattering of rain from this French-styled home, with its comfortably cushy furnishings and soothing colour palette.  The colour scheme is bright yet muted, although not muted enough to be in that pastel range.  I'm particularly favouring the yellow and white plaid rug in the family room.  I know how much you all love wooden beams and there are plenty of those throughout the home - above doorways and the stove in the kitchen.  Also, can I say enough about the floor in the kitchen?

There's a droplet of a teeny tiny pool outside, really only enough to dip your feet into and sit along the sides with your friends and a glass of wine.  But that's all you really need, right?

  6. It's a great house, I love all the floors. If I were the real estate agent, I might refer to the pool as an outdoor soaking tub. ;)

  9. So gorgeous. I love that kitchen especially. It's so warm and cozy but really interesting too. This is one of those house tours I could look at over and over again and notice something different each time. I have to bookmark this!

  13. Nope, you couldn't say enough about the kitchen floor - what an inviting space. Makes me think I could lounge away a day in there.
    I've been trying to convince my husband we need to put in a pool but the expense is getting me nowhere, perhaps a little dipping pool like this would win him over...

  18. Hmm, for some reason it's reminding me of Sex and The City when Big says everything in his house is beige. Too many neutral colors in this house for me, but I love the bones!

  19. What a charming and inviting home. That pool (and it's small size) would be perfect for me as I imagine it keeps maintenance to a minimum.
