    I think your guest room looks wonderful. Yes, a different area rug and less tribal look will be good. The windows and views are amazing.

    Il y a beaucoup de poésie dans cette pièce : la lumière douce qui entre par les fenêtres, la verdure dans le jardin, les couleurs tamisées, les meubles anciens en bois foncé et ce magnifique miroir ovale.

      Agreed, last year was our first year experiencing wisteria and we were unsure about its care. The previous owner’s gardener told us that it was rarely cut in 60 years. So you can imagine our hesitation when we moved in. 😉 Not wanting to shock the owner too soon. We remain friends. When she visits, she will definitely have some words! 🤣

    Hi, if you’ve still got the cotton bedspreads, you could refashion one into a giant cushion for the day bed seat. Measure, cut to size, fold the other to use as padding. Giant blanket stitch around to hold it all together!

      @Frenchcountryfriends  Рік тому +1

      That is a fantastic idea thank you!!! I will do that in the future. 🙏My issue is with the pattern…another little treasure left for us from the sale of this home. Maybe I should wrap them in plastic and preserve them in an armoire I have for storing this homes history of treasures.

    It is amazing what you can unearth from (for me) is the basement of my house (or the Archive de Shame) where my possessions go to metaphorically die. I still like most of it. So now and again I shift things around and just change things up seasonally, for example. I love the mirror, the daybed and the armoire. I like where you have moved it as it is really a display piece and the first major thing that you see when you enter the room. Actually, the mirror/daybed wall and the armoire. They work well together. You have pulled together a lovely guest room from found pieces. Bravo!

    Very beautiful place all around. Watching you pick the antiques and then able to buy them on etsy is perfect. Only wished the dimensions would be in the descriptions. Looked at the small limoges white vase and wondering how tall it is. ?. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of what appears to be the perfect life. ( though it takes obviously a lot of work and vision to create it.)

    ~the mirror although beautiful seems invasive of the space, & seems uncomfortable above the delicate bed. I would consider moving it to another room. Definitely eliminate the dark bed liner, pillows, & rug. Search for something else. Try moving the bed in between the windows, and moving the armoire to where the bed is now. The mirror on the armoire will reflect the beautiful outdoor foliage! If you still have your leftover kitchen cabinets, remove the door fronts, attach them together to make a door for the closet. Sell the desk (too modern) or move it to your boudoir room. This channel is lovely!

  • @santinadiponti6402
    @santinadiponti6402 Рік тому

    Have you considered moving the bed to the wall where you just put that day bed? The windows on each side would balance that very well, also better flow when walking into the room. The room is very serene and calming.

    • @Frenchcountryfriends

    • @lolasadipe6014
      @lolasadipe6014 Рік тому +2

      A lot of houses in Europe have climbing wisteria growing on them because the houses here are made of bricks and stone, so the wisteria is well supported. In regions where the houses tend to be made of timber(like in north America), climbing wisteria is a huge no no ad I believe wisteria is actually considered invasive because the wisteria easily overwhelms timber and can bring timber framed houses down!
