I discovered the gorgeous French General and their breath-taking french countryside chateau meets farmhouse aesthetic a few years ago (if you’re not currently nodding your head knowingly right now, I highly suggest you follow the link and check them out). While I have yet to venture to mecca (i.e. their Los Angeles store) I recently acquired two beautiful books; French General Home Sewn and French General Handmade Soirees. I have been leafing through them repeatedly as of late and finding myself very inspired (and a rather wistful for all Kaari Meng’s beautiful fabrics and vintage treasures)
Hopefully you will soon see some projects from these books that I’ve created, but until then I thought I would share a few pages from the books that are inspiring me at the moment. Below are some of my favourite projects from the books (though please excuse the less than stellar quality photos – I left my good camera at work, so had to make due with my iPhone)
