vintage style, cottage living, home cooking
Having been blessed enough to help decorating a wedding and designing the flowers, I was also fortunate enough to receive a few original barn wood boxes. They have since been a part of my home decor.

I have had the barnwood boxes for almost 13 years now. I have used them for parties, weddings and for my own home decor.
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.
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.
Thank you Anita, for asking me to be a part of your virtual book tour for French Accents. I am lucky enough to be participating with some of the most talented and well known bloggers.
If you want to purchase YOUR own copy of French Accents visit Amazon or shop at Anita’s own Online Shop. I do receive a commission for the online shop. BUT. that doesn’t even matter to me. I am just thrilled to be able to share this lovely, informative book with YOU.
I hope you buy your own copy of French Accents by Anita Joyce today. I promise, you will be in Cedar Hill Farmhouse heaven.
