French Country Decorating with bonus video

Welcome to my home. I want to begin with a few photos of decorating ideas by themselves and finish with a short video of the room.

As you view the photos I hope you find inspiration to decorate your own home.

First, here is my two rustic shelves with accessories. Alongside it is my book pages which are taped to the wall. To the right a simple canvas picture and underneath is a black metal basket that is filled with a spool of rope and burlap bird.

Next is a sentimental display.
Family is very important to me. Memories of loved ones in my life. My husbands grandma loved quilting and sewing. I displayed her sewing machine. On the top is 3 boxes, each one is filled with sewing notions.

Lastly, my hutch with chalkboard painted back. It is filled with a combination of glass, metal and wood decorations.

I chose a black and white theme with glass and metal accents. Mason Jars, mini bowls, canisters and measuring cups. You will be surprised how many things you have for baking. Now it's time for the cute additions. My DIY Fresh Baked Cookies sign that I made from an old tv stand door. A rag garland made from flour sack tea towels. Using a tiered tray is an unexpected item inside my hutch. Don't be afraid to try something unexpected and in a taller scale. To take it through th...
