Chateau Inspiration ~ A New Book

 

 

Hello Everyone,

I hope everyone had an excellent weekend. I ran my normal errands. I actually made it to Target this weekend. One of the items on my list was a new bottle of the Tide Studio Delicates detergent. They were sold out so I came home to order it online and I can’t find it anywhere!!! Are they no longer making it? I am so upset! The closest product to it is the Tide Studio Darks & Colors. I read up on it and it does have the same cleaning and protective qualities as the Delicates formula. So I am going to give it a try. We shall see…. 

 

In today’s post, I wanted to talk about a new book that has just been released. It is called Provence Style: Decorating with French Country Flair.

I don’t know if any of you follow their Instagram page but you should. It is like looking at a dream over and over again. I would love to stay here, live here, celebrate here, I just want to go here! This is an 18th-century farmhouse in Provence. The property sits on 65 acres has a working pear orchard, sunflower fields, culinary staff, and laundry staff.

This photo above is what lead me to this beautiful chateau. Julia posted this on her blog and I saw the room and just fell in love. Isn’t it gorgeous? This bedroom is called the Chambre Fontaine and is the original master bedroom of the home.

It has seven bedrooms and is about 13,000 square feet. It is a stunning property and I can’t wait to order this book to read about it. I hope it takes me away to this beautiful chateau. It has been my dream to own a chateau someday. Honestly, if I could just visit one in Italy I think that would be enough for me. 

I hope everyone has enjoyed this post and enjoys looking at all of the photos that they have posted to their Instagram account. This property truly sings to the elegant being in you. Have a great Monday!

Also, I wanted to mention that I sent out my first email newsletter a few days ago. My apologies if you received it without me telling you first. My system picked those emails from individuals who made purchases from the boutique. If you would be interested in receiving an email from the blog please send me an email on the Contact page. I will add you to the list. Thank you again!

    Hey Mrs. Shockley,

    Have you tried the Laundress for delicates? It’s a bit pricey, but we’ll worth it for all the delicates. I hope you can find the Tide delicates.

    Oh my- that book looks wonderful. I enjoy French design. I have been ordering Carolyn Westbrook’s books on ebay over the past few months. Her focus is French design which I am creating in my own home(not shabby chic though).

    I will be putting that book on my to buy list. Have a great Monday and enjoy the zoo with your family!

      Hello Mya!
      It’s funny that you mention the Laundress. I have tried their products and I love them but they are so expensive. I think I may order their delicates wash. I will give this Tide a try and will share my thoughts soon.
      Carolyn Westbrook books, I have never heard of her. I will have to look her up. We did enjoy the zoo yesterday! It was terribly hot but our daughter and her bestie loved it! Have a great week!
