Hello again!
It's Aspiring Kennedy's faithful interior designer,
Beth Dotolo
of
I'm charged with the task
of designing her dream homes abroad
and helping her recreate her travels at home.
...and by 'charged' I mean: 'out of the kindness of my heart'.
Recently Aspiring Kennedy travelled
to Southern France for 'work'.
(Yes, that's real life.)
Southern France is known for
it's picturesque countryside & rural villages...
But, let's be honest,
Aspiring Kennedy ain't no farm hand!
So we're taking French Provencal up a notch
& adding a little twist.
Because, even though
Aspiring Kennedy
is simple at heart...
She's just plain... fancy.
Now, that's a French countryside
I could see Aspiring Kennedy
hanging her hat on.
Here are a few great pieces
that can add a bit of that
French Provencal style,
without making your space
look like a farm home...
No.1 Eat Table Linens | No.2 French Marble Console Table | No.3 Morandi Square Bottle Vase | No.4 Slate Message Board | No.5 Square Wire Tray
If you could travel abroad
and take that 'look' home with you,
where would you go?
Aspiring Kennedy's
Faithful Interior Designer,
A "look" home - I would want a sort of modern tuscan farmhouse....
ReplyDeleteminimal, but with everything I need, my family, friends, books, art....
lots of light, sun and good sights!

A beautiful post! Though the French countryside look is lovely, I would prefer a beachy yet sophisticated look inspired by Prince Edward Island in Canada, one of the San Juan islands off of Washington in the United States, or one of the many quaint spots found on the Northeastern coast of the United States.
ReplyDeleteI've brought the french look home with me, but not exactly countryside, we're in a bit of an in between stage!
ReplyDeleteThis is just awesome though, LOVE this.

Gorgeous! I love this take on French Country. I'd being aiming for something like this but I simply can't say no to toile and it always ends up a little...um, colorful.
ReplyDeleteLove all your finds...and I love some Parisian chic in my home too. I'm going to Belgium in the spring and can't wait to find something amazing to bring back.

My dream homes abroad would be a chic Parisian apartment of an Italian villa! Oh, it's good to dream!
