Thought I would give you a peek into Lynn's house. Isn't it wonderful? It is a fine art to mix French antiques into the home and have it feel cozy, not stuffy, inviting, and appealing to the eye. Lynn does this very well. She has a knack for creating a home with the French antiques she finds in France.
Lynn found this amazing 1600s, hand printed, French coat of arms chart at Melanie's shop. Melanie is a very close friend of mine…and antique dealer, lives nearby my home in France… Ask me, go ahead and ask me how many times I walked by this piece in Melanie's shop? A hundred? Two hundred times? Let's just say more times than I can admit… and the worse part I never really saw it until it was in Lynn's hands. And of course it was too late…
Isn't it often like that… we only really see something when someone shows us, or claims it as there own? It is a fact that when something has a SOLD SIGN on it, everyone wants it.
You should see my leg, it is black and blue from me kicking myself… that coat of arms piece is, well, just everything…. good, old, beautiful and not mine.
Lucky duck Lynn.
Blqck and blue me.
The fainting chaisse longue Lynn covered in antique style Toile de Jouy linen. It is perfectly matched with the hand painted antique piece.
Ask me how many times I sat there wishing it was something I could pack in my suitcase?
Lynn has good taste, and better yet she puts things together with such natural ease. If ever you need an interior designer you should look her up. Tell her I sent you. Then maybe when five, six or I don't know twenty of you do so she might want to give me the fainting chaisse longue and throw in the amazing 1600s, hand printed, French coat of arms chart that she found at Melanie's shop too, as a thank you gift.
