Nothing in home decor says French country more than blues and yellows. They even look great peppered with red accents. Welcoming and quaint, geometrical and calico fabrics flow abundant covering soft pillows and windows frames.
Add bunches of red or yellow flowers to suggest the countryside is right outside. In sideboard vignettes, add a favorite Impressionist's print, a pot of flowers, books, and a few pieces of fresh fruit. It flower petals drop, leave them for a day or two.
In the kitchen or entry hall, a red bench with more yellow flowers is a good start. Choose either blue or black as the second color and add throw pillows in a rooster theme, perfect French decor.
The options for French country are fun, festive, and inviting.

Love it here! Aren't those scrabble tile pendants sweet? (Did you know we're making them at RS Super Sat. in Nov.? I'm teaching the class) I love how creative you can get with them, really personalizing them to your style or for someone you're gifting to.
One of my favorite "Lovely" blogs is Oh Happy Day, written by Jordan Ferney. She lives in San Francisco and her photos make it look like the most fascinating place in the entire world, which it probably is.

My mother told me The way to learn a language is to practice speaking it as often as possible. Try to think in English whenever possible. When you see something, think of the English word for it; then think about the word in a sentence.

I love all these photos! I have a good bit of yellow and blue in my house and just painted my dining room yellow as well.

I think that is an interesting point, it made me think a bit. Thanks for sparking my thinking cap. Sometimes I get so much in a rut that I just feel like a record.
