Ma cherie

Bonjour and hello my dears, I hope you all had a cool and breezy summer weekend.  I sincerely hope that your weekend did not feel anything like mine, the scorching, baking oven of the outdoors.  And to think it's only June.  So instead of braving the heat, I took advantage of the free HBO preview this weekend and sat my bum on the couch for a few movies.  There were some good ones (Moonrise Kingdom) and some really crappy ones (Battleship).  Best father's day movie of the weekend?  Trouble with the Curve with gritty, gravely old Clint Eastwood, who was almost old enough to be Amy Adams' grandfather.  My dad was plenty happy lounging around inside with a few snacks and the remote by his side.  What about yours?

Would I like to escape to the French Mediterranean for the summer?  Oh I'd love to.  But we'll have to gaze upon this darling house instead.  No, it's not in France either but let's use our imaginations.  Just pretend you lived in a home as charming as this one and let your troubles melt away.

  2. No Mars Attacks??? I wish I'd known about the free weekend, I would have watched Abe Lincoln as a vampire hunter. :)

    It wasn't quite that hot today. But it has been sticky. Thank goodness for a/c.

    I like the special touches throughout this house. I could live there!

  4. In an unfortunate turn of events, Father's Day completely passed my family as we spent the day moving my sister back to uni and then making a six to seven hour drive back home. On the flip side lots of car ride bonding time!

    P.S. After looking at these photos, I'm starting to realize how much I like when the wooden beams in ceilings aren't painted over like that. Hope you had a lovely Monday! xx

  5. Sounds like a perfect weekend! And you are more than welcome to send some of that heat this way! Love the kitchen and the flooring in this house!

  6. It's always been a dream of mine to live in a house with blue shutters. Such a pretty house!

  7. How was Moonrise Kingdom? I've heard good things about it.

    I really like the stairs in the "mess room" in this house. That's a pretty cool sneaky get away.

  8. Ha, I'm not surpirsed about Battleship. But Moonrise Kingdom was amazing. Such an enjoyable film!

    My feature of this house is the wooden floors. And the cobblestone path in the front. And the shutter windows!

  9. Oh hello. Yes please. Me likey! ;) That split door, all the arches and quirky stairwells. WOW. I will never like curtains covering the opening under the kitchen sink, but for that arched pantry thingy? I'll over look it this time.

    Sold.

  12. I like that they photographed it at night! Really adds to the special, old-French-chateau feel. Which, by the way, I'm smitten with. Naturellement.

  13. I love the contrast between the rough hewn floor and the white walls - so clean and peaceful!

    Thankfully, I haven't picked up any TV shows since the season finale of The office....I feel like I have so many more hours in my day now ehehe

  15. Oh my goodness. Love the color scheme!

  16. Oh lovely. My fave has to be the split door. I can imagine this place being a cool respite during those 'scorching' days.

  17. You do manage to find the best houses . . . sigh.

  18. That free HBO {and I think Cinemax here} preview weekend was fantastic! The house above isn't really my style but I do like the flooring and the arched doorways a lot.

    Tiny house is back on the market....again. I will report back after my viewing tomorrow. :)

  19. Seeing the house from the outside is perfect especially because it has blue windows! <3 Most especially lovely at night because of the blue windows and yellow light :D

  20. The shutters, that stable door, and that chandelier! I'd love to cosy it up a bit though, it seems a bit cold to me as it is.
