French Love

Hello everyone!

I wanted to share a few things that I found that bring the french look to my home.

Recently, while on a trip to Scott's Antique Market in Atlanta, I found this European license plate.  I was so excited when I spotted it!


I hung it on the wire basket above my refrigerator.  I love the black and white graphics of it.

Can you believe it was only $6?  I didn't know you could find anything that cheap at Scott's!


As many of you know, I receive daily emails from Wuslu.  They have some good deals.  I bought this set of french cushions and found new homes for them.

I put this one in my chair in the family room. 
It was sold as a set of 2.  I placed the other cushion in an old basket in my foyer.  The wire basket that was there moved to another location. 
I love the grey and cream color scheme of these cushions.
The wire basket that used to be in the foyer moved into the sitting room.  I decided to put the vintage leather suitcase in there as well. 
I tell ya, things don't stay in one place too long around here!  Ha!
So there you have it.  Just a touch of french in some new places in my home.  Now, I wish I had taken French in school instead of Spanish.  Then I could read all of this stuff! 
Thanks for stopping by!

    I bought two sets of those pillows from WUSLU...love that site!! I used the two small ones as cushions on a bench in my dining room and the bigger two propped in chairs. I have got to get back to Scotts, I love it there!!

    Love your license plates and pillows. I think changing things around makes take re-notice of them and they don't get old that way. We look at them and actually "see" them-xo Diana

    I love that wire basket on top of your fridge, Kelly! What a great size that is! Love the tall wire one, too, by the chest. I think I skipped the one from Antique Farmhouse {is it this one?} because I have an idea for using it, but I'm not onto that project yet. I hate having to move things out of my way until I get to their project!

    The license plate is so cool and I love how you have it attached to that basket {I a loving wire baskets lately!}. Your cushions are fabulous, I went to the website when you last shared it and found some neat things! Love how you have arranged all of your treasures...that's the fun of collecting!

    I was at Scotts this weekend, too. Thursday to be exact -and you are right about thinking nothing would be six dollars. I bought some confit pots that were out front of building two. Did you see them?

    I love all things french and like all your changes. Your picture and title pulled me right in. Could you come to my house and move things around? I need your eye!

    Saw a leather suitcase like that today shopping at Good Will. They wanted $85 dollars... AT GOOD WILL!!! And your pillows have inspired me; I picked up a white cushion at IKEA for my redone highchair, and I think I should stencil something French on it to match the other graphics.

    Sounds like something I do all the time. It is fun to move things around, seeing how different they can look in a new space. I love the tall wire basket - great shape and size. I could absolutely use that in my study.
