my happy place: a pretty bathroom

i am pretty sure i have never showcased a single photograph of a bathroom...when i saw this photograph i knew i had to start. i am not quite sure how the seating works, but i like it.

my happy place: droog

the industrial elements in this home completely drew me in...oh and of course there is the white...

and the lighting, fireplaces, shelves upon shelves of books, rugs...actually all of it and you have something so different and so perfect at the same time...i love having new ideas for my new/imaginary home...xo mrs. french

pssst...come back this afternoon for an "i heart monday" giveaway...hint: it's an item from last week's list!

bonpoint

bonpoint was the very first parisian children's clothing house, established in 1975. i am in complete and total awe of their clothing for the small ones....so beautiful, like wee works of art. this post is particularly long because i got carried away with photos from their spring collection...

i want to feel the fabrics and play baby dress-up. the colors, textures and tiny scarves completely floor me. can't you just imagine a green lawn teeming with little babies decked out in bonpoint sweetness. i can. xo mrs. french

a show...and i am in it!

i would love to see you all there. i am in a show with 7 amazingly talented, female artists...yet another pinch-me moment. i am usually pretty shy at this type of thing and this time i will be doing it without a glass of wine, so it would be nice to see some friendly faces! xo mrs. french

blissful inspiration...

look up...sfgirlbybay...blissful inspiration...xo mrs. french

blissfully blushing...

look what she did.  she posted my photographs and said some really nice things about me.  i can't believe how many pinch-me moments i have had in the last 2 years...and i don't want them to stop.  thank you victoria...this really means too much to me.

just dreaming....

i have come to terms with the fact that often times i live in a fantasy world. i often close my eyes and dream of beautiful surroundings...but did you know i could do it with clothing too? i am talented that way. often times i find myself decked in the most exquisite pieces by vanessa bruno...i also try to stay on top of seasons in these daydreams and these photos of the spring line feed these fantasies in the most wonderful way...

oh and don't get me started on what type of shoes i will be wearing...definitely something with a stacked heel!

also, i think it is important to note that i am perfectly happy in my chaotic surroundings, with animals under-foot, boys belching, and cabinets unpainted....and a ever-growing belly to boot, decked in slouchy sweaters...perhaps if i lived my fantasy all pretty in vanessa, surrounded by white and linen i would close my eyes and dream of the perfect chaos i have at this very moment...just a thought. xo mrs. french

my happy place: another dutch home

i am pretty sure at this point, you could close your eyes and imagine what my happy place would look like...i am a creature of habit and stay relatively true to what i like. i have a feeling that the image you may come up with would look something like this...i am hoping it is a happy place for you as well...

i may not be organized enough to have inspiration boards all around me or files, of beautiful things but i have this blog, my ability to imagine and all of you. xo mrs. french
