Design Style: Vintage French

I love this style - it's so feminine, whimsical and sophisticated. The color palette of various shades of white, soft pinks and greys, mixed with rustic wood floors, painted metal chandeliers and supple fabrics, are what makes this design style so beautiful. Shown above: I discovered these fabulous vintage inspired custom signs via The Back Porch Shoppe on Etsy!





All (3) of these unique pieces are from gardenhouse - one-of-a-kind refurbished vintage accents.

  2. I don't have much of this style in my home, but I appreciate it. I think it would be good to mix it in with another style - it's so classic.

  9. I love the palette and the style. It's very different from my home. I should have several homes each with a different style and i would never have to say no anymore.

  11. Great images. I especially like the writing on the table design. The little child's wooden bed with the tree wall art work is very cute.

  13. I love the chalkboard painted chest of drawers! Not sure if it's practical, but it still looks really cool. And the pale blue couch is delightful.
    Is it me, or are we seeing more natural floors these days?
