I am really loving French Nordic style right now. It feels so very familiar and comforting somehow. It combines the things I love: organic, calm, well loved belongings, things combined and used in unusual ways, and lots of texture. I recognize it when I see it but I often have trouble putting words to my experiences so am working and being able to describe and define the styles I like.
The Christmas tree has been put away so I thought that I would try to create a bit of French Nordic style here.
A mix of textures and some contrasts...
Old books, and in French no less (Christmas present from my wonderful husband)...
Silver and pinecones for that mix of styles...
Lots of nature and organic with a bit of style...
No old rosaries, but some crystal beads that were Grandma's...
Did I sort of capture the French Nordic look? I will keep tweaking. Suggestions or constructive critic is welcome to help me develop my knowledge and style.
And for you viewing pleasure here are some new sites I found to peruse:
