Hello!! Change always seem to bring a mixture of emotions. The bigger the change, the deeper the emotion. As I mentioned in my last post, we are in the middle of selling our home. Selling a house is easy, selling your home is a whole different kettle of fish!! Moving is bittersweet. When you actually …
the potting shed
Hello!! A lot has changed since my last post. Now several things have been running through my mind during the long winter months. Do I open a brick and mortar? Do I include container gardening services? Start an online store? It is amazing how one phone call can change everything! A realtor friend of mine …
a place to plant
Hello! With spring finally here, my attentions turn to one of my true loves... gardening. Whether you are a gardener or not, there is something appealing about a space to call your own for potting, collecting garden related things. or just puttering. With so many options to fit every possible need or space, there really …

Hello friends,
It’s hard to believe it has been one year already!
I thought it would be fun to repost my first post. I am so grateful for everyone and everything that has happened in this last year! Some goals have not yet been met, and some things have exceeded my expectations! I am thankful for all the people I have met, and the true connections to the online community that I would have never experienced in my little corner of the world.
Thank you for being a true inspiration and encouragement to me!
Hello blogging world! Better late than never. This is an attempt at my first post. I have been inspired by many amazing blogs as of late, and I hope to create something of equal beauty and inspiration.
Coming up with a name was somewhat of an inspiration in and of itself. I stumbled across a nice term for the tarnish that gets into the details of silver…..french grey.
It describes perfectly the things I love:
French farmhouse
Whites and greys
European grain sacks
Gardening
Vintage finds…..and a simple life
Here are some great photos from Atelier De Champagne that have me excited to add a little more french grey to my home.
true confessions
It's true. I have a confession to make. I have a woodstove. It has been a love/hate relationship from day one. It is quite possibly is the best heat source you could have if you live in a region with winter. However, it is a decorating/design nightmare!! So imagine to my surprise finding images on pinterest of …

Hello friends, Yes, it's me. I have been MIA in the blogging department, and I could offer you some long list of lame excuses..... but I won't. I have however been working my booth at the Montana Antique Mall, going on some wild buying trip adventures, purchased my first can of Annie Sloan Chalk paint …
natural elements~ sticks and stones
Hello! Thought it would be fun to look at some sticks and stones (although it is pretty hard to not keep saying the rest of this childhood rhyme in my head)!! Sticks can be so dramatic and so easy, and will add visual height to a room or vignette! Here they are placed in an …
