French inspiration..



Some days more than others I feel very inspired..  In remodeling my own kitchen I have found that I am very inspired by the look of vintage display cabinets.  I am assuming that many of the pieces I have seen and saved images away of are vintage shop cabinets- much like this one from France.  These pieces make me smile inside..  they remind me of some of my other French favorites.  As I am sure you know if you have read the blog for a little while I am completely obsessed with Vintage French goodies as well as some new French goodies too.  

Thank you to Vicki at French Essence for posting about her kitchen and her dishes yesterday, you got my wheels spinning and reminded me I need to make a wish list of dishes for my next trip to France in the spring...  So here are a few of my favorites for the kitchen and a little French Inspiration.



Have a day dreamy Tuesday!

Oh my goodness - that first image is so beautiful it almost made me faint. Then I got hungry when I saw the middle picture - and finally you got me drooling at the last. So many emotions in so short a time - I think I'll go and make myself a nice cup of tea to recover.
Have a great day and keep the beauty coming!

I am always inspired by the French...what is it? old? comfort? color? lack of color? I'm not sure..but I love it!

Look at that cabinet in the first image - wow! If your home doesn't have age or vintage appeal injecting pieces like this brings the character in. Love it!

This antique cabinet is to die for! They are almost impossible to find now
Did you ever see the Pichon ceramics from Uzes. i have used them for years and love their hand made beauty.

That display case is wonderful. If only I had room for something like that.

I love creamy white pottery and textiles. If I had to pick a favorite, I don't think I could.

That kitchen is really dreamy...I love the idea of using a display cabinet for dishes. Just think of the lovely creamy white pottery that could fill it. :)

Simply love your style!

I'm a lover of all things vintage French too! I can't enough of it! I love the open cabinet in the first image. When you have beautiful pieces like that why not have them openly displayed!
