A French Country Spring house tour is in store for you today because Spring has sprung here! The roses are blooming and it smells wonderful!
First let’s head into the sitting room. Antique French chairs with a repro trumeau mirror. This mirror was one of the very first things I bought to decorate my place – I was only 22 years old and knew I loved French country style!
Spring flowers sit in the wheeled basket. Faux hydrangeas metal candlesticks sit on the antique desk. I believe the last time you saw this room there was a Christmas tree in the middle of it! Well, now we’ve moved things around and put the antique harp in the corner.
An Aubusson rug sits in the middle of the room. Still love the brick floors which are by Arto brick.
And a pop of color greets you in the kitchen! The roses are all David Austin’s varieties.
We bypassed the family room, because, it’s uh, messy! A French country Spring kitchen awaits! A rustic urn matches the candlesticks.
On top of the hood I put a new Spring wreath and a pair of chickens!
Aren’t the roses gorgeous? They are so fragrant as well. I picked them from my parent’s garden as our garden still is still non existent. Unfortunately the garden roses only last a day or two – that’s okay, I like going to the garden to pick more.
A look through the kitchen. Getting roses ready for various vases in the kitchen.
I haven’t really shared this view of our kitchen. The appliance in the island is a drawer microwave. At first I was unsure of a drawer microwave but now I love it!
Here is our view when we stand on the do the dishes.
The fireplace is see through. The rock is Texas limestone. The little floral French chairs are where those who are not cooking tend to sit. I plan to reupholster them.
This mantle is more rustic than that in the living room. My herd of cows and flock of swans sit here. The sconces are Aidan Gray – found them for a steal!
Hmm, now where is this little corner?? My bedroom! Just a little sneak peek of an upcoming post!
Well, it’s time to go… the sun is setting. Let’s go sit in the courtyard and enjoy the scent of lemon blossoms and the sound of the trickling fountain. And yes, below is another sneak peek of another upcoming post! I’ve been busy writing….
Ok, one last look at the roses since they are so pretty and only here for a small time of year (ok, it’s California, they are here from May – November).

Thank you!
Everything looks gorgeous! I want to see more of your courtyard!!
Author
aww, thanks! The courtyard is still not quite ready.. just planted some citrus trees as you can see.
The roses are beatiful- what a great color combination. I love the aged look of the bowl and candlesticks you’ve arranged with the roses. Your mantel looks very French country. That is a perfect portrait for the kitchen side. The view of the fountain looking back into your home is picture perfect!

Thank you very much! I was just clipping the roses until my basket was full! I was surprised how well the bowl and candlesticks matched when I put them next to each other! The cow picture was from my mom – used to hang in our living room!
I love your home and could move right in!

That’s why I didn’t build too many bedrooms! HA!
I am so pleased to find your blog again. I read when it was Peonies and Orange Blossoms but somehow didn’t make the transition over to the new blog name. Oh well, I have some catching up to do. Your house is stunning and I can’t wait to read all about it.

oh so glad you found me again! I knew I when I changed my blog name I would lose followers but the old domain couldn’t do what I wanted with the site and my old blog name was too long for social media handles so there were several reasons for the name change!
