Oh, So French

PeepSideshow Darkward3 Comments

Bonsoir et ooh la la, mes amis! Despite three years of high school French, that is about all you will get from me in the way of français. The title was inspired by the Paris lingerie by Salt & Pepper for the July round of Mesh Body Addicts. This lingerie has a very nostalgic feel and is uber sexy, yet demure. The tight ponytail from TETRA out of the July Luxe Box works beautifully with the look and feel and the Orangery by Scarlet Creative, also from Luxe Box, is the ideal setting.

There was a lot more to the setting of this photo, but as is so often the case, it was lost on the cutting room floor. Had I just plopped down the build, shoved in the bench and flounced onto it, I would have gotten done a lot more quickly. But then I wouldn’t have had the luxury of feeling like a French girl for an afternoon.

C’est tellement français

I have tried to create that feeling with some lovely things from The Liaison Collaborative, Deco(c)rate and [ keke ] for The Home Show 2017.

Eucalyptus, Agave & A Rubber Tree, Please

PeepSideshow Darkward4 Comments

I love sun rooms. The airy feeling in an enclosed space is a lovely place to just relax with a cup of tea and a good book. Requisite plants give it even more of that outdoor-while-inside feel.

The plants, in this case, are from {what next} for today’s Fifty Linden Friday. These beautifully crafted plants come in either a potted or stand version and all are texture-change for the pots, and I mean, there are TONS of choices. Plain or patterned, the possibilities are endless. You can create your own virtual jungle with these versatile plants. Not shown, but also available, are lovely daffodils bursting from their own planters. Don’t miss out on these bargains for today.

The sun room is compliments of the La Cas Azul house from [Merak] from the last round of Deco(c)rate. It is fun and bohemian with just enough room to be cozy for one or two. And a perfect setting for a eucalyptus, an agave and a rubber tree, if you please.
