Une Belle Maison ( A beautiful home)

I am mesmerised or maybe dreaming or have simply fallen in love:-) Tracey's delightful home in Illinois is like walking into a fairy tale. In hues of white and grey, with a splash of color here and there.The result is sublime!! A soothing palette, whimsical touches.......and there is magic in the air.

Tracey's blog.....the fabulous French Larkspur is a daily read for me. Her sense of design and decor is both unique and inspirational. I asked Tracey to write a few lines about herself, her blog and her style.

In Tracey's words " I am a stay-at-home mother of 3 young children. I started my blog and my shop a little over a year ago as a creative outlet for my passion for decorating and a means to have a little space I could call all my own. Along the way, I have also found a true love for photography. I incorporate into my decorating a style that is decidedly French, but with all of the warmth and casualness of cottage style. I love white and pale grey and use them as the basis for how I decorate. From there, I mix in pops of color and lots of vintage for a look that is all my own."

The first thing that struck me when I read this was that she has three young children. With a house this gorgeous... and raising three kids, she certainly has set the bar very high :-)


Enjoy the warmth, love and beauty of Tracey's stunning home....
















Thank you Tracey for sharing your lovely home on My Dream Canvas.

Ah! Summer....

These gorgeous spaces would be simply perfect to do nothing :-) Daydream, read a book and enjoy the gorgeous summer. Here the Pacific north west is going through a heat wave and these soothing images are so lovely to look at. Sigh!!

I am off to daydream.......... I wish, I could, but for now its back to reality :-)
