After all the heartaches and disappointments of the past few weeks, I thought I'd post some gorgeous photos of the 'feel' I would like to create with our new home. Naturally, It won't be the same, as this is a period home, but I just love the decor and the beautiful 'homely' and warm feel it has. Also note the clock they have on the wall outside, and the chandeliers! ;-) I have always wanted to do white panelling down the hallway from the entrance, and into the lounge and dining room. Might still be possible in about 10 years time when we can afford it!

I sent my sister that house link last week when you posted it on H1, we've looked at it a million times.....that house is beautiful.
I think you might like looking at this blog that we (sister and I) have been watching for months. My sister loves American Homes. I know you are more French Prov. but you might like it.
Thanks for those links, been a bit pre-Christmas mad around here so I haven't really had the chance to sit down and 'surf'!
Hi Lou, is it a little bit too big for me too (oh, hang on, I'm building a 40 square house...!). I'm really looking forward to seeing your completed entrance, it will look stunning, I'm sure!

Wow it really is gorgeous!! Bit too big for my liking but lovely none the less. I like the outdoor area.
Is that a Disco Ball next to the Home Theatre Projector?
I do believe it might be, H2B!
