French Accents

By Leave a Comment

I am more than excited to write this post for you today. When I first started blogging, I saw Anita Joyce’s blog, Cedar Hill Farmhouse and I was hooked. Today I am happy to be a part of the Virtual book tour for French Accents written by Anita Joyce.

When Anita asked me if I wanted to review her book before it was even in print, I happily obliged. Knowing her taste and style, I knew I was in for a treat. I was absolutely correct.

For a little background: Anita has a farm in southeast Texas and a city home in Houston. Throughout her book she tells of her experiences and lessons learned in filling her homes with style and grace.

In true Anita fashion, she offers her own styling tips and tricks without sounding pretentious. It feels as though Anita is sitting right next to us, offering everyone tips to make one’s house a home filled with French Accents.

Not only is it a lovely coffee table book, but each page is brimming with lovely pictures and ideas to create your own personal styled home.

Cedar Hill Farmhouse

Anita has a knack for combining rustic charm and elegance all in one space. And it looks fabulous.

Her book is the perfect guide for anyone wanting to put their personal touch in creating a home.

There are tips for shopping, what to look for while attending an auction, and how to be patient for a piece you REALLY desire.  Plus so much MORE.

When I received my copy of French Accents I couldn’t put it down.  And no wonder, with almost 300 pages of inspiration and original thought who could resist. I highly recommend  purchasing  such an original and timeless book.

Thrifted Fluted Pan Centerpiece

By 4 Comments

Hello everyone! I am back as promised to share something fun with you today. As you know I like to shop at thrift stores. First: because you never know what you are going to find. Second: because the prices can be amazing! A Thrifted Fluted Pan Centerpiece can be as easy as you want it to be.

Using kitchen ware is a fun way to decorate throughout the holidays.

But first let me show you what I found and what I did with it…
