how the French like Christmas

A French family home opens its doors to show us their Christmas decorations.  Calm, elegant, soft colours, comfortable.  Love it.

  4. I love the color. It's such a nice change from the (overdone) American green and red. My house doesn't do either green or red well, but without much inspiration I moved to burgundy and gold. This is so much nicer. May have to throw it all away and start over for next year! Thanks for the idea.

  21. Dearest Sharon,

    Indeed, elegant and calm! That's the way it should be; a safe haven for family to linger and always pleasing to the eye. Not too loud or clashing colours but soothing; even when one has a headache! A perfect NEST!
    C'est moi; I'm all for French Country Style and Brocante...

    Merry Christmas!

  23. Your French Country Home inspires me to write my own blog from Texas. Even though I live in Texas, I love all things French and try to incorporate French-inspired decorating into my house and my small home and garden shop. Thank you for sharing such beautiful images.

  25. That's exactly how we do it; a lot of muted colors. I think it brings a certain reverence of the Christmas season in our home. There's still plenty of laughter and noise from 5 kids but when we sit together at night and gaze upon our small space, all decorated for Christmas, it really is calming. We need that so badly right now. U.S. hearts are heavy.
