Yummy!!

When I look at any picture that carries the French design aesthetic, the first word that comes to my mind is.... yummy!!
Looking at French decor is such a high!  There is so much detail to take in, and each piece has a story.
One women that is a true icon when it comes to what I think is "yummy" is Josephine Ryan.  She totally gets it!  Her passion is all about the French lifestyle.  She is all about the thrill of the find; her gift for discovering unique, one of a kind pieces and combining them unexpectedly is what makes her renowned throughout the world of interior design!

Those teal chairs coupled with the galvanized steel door... yummy!
They both pop next to the limestone.

Such a gorgeous armoire.

This room with its rock wall and 18th-century fireplace still has warmth and is so serene.  


You will spend hours looking at all the images in Josephine Ryan's books.
Her books are so timeless and each time you look through them you'll find something new and interesting every time!

  4. Gorgeous pictures..that first one with the crown and the silver globes is just delectable! And I feel the same as you about that amazing wingback chair. You are so right about Josephine Ryan. Coincidentally her French Home sits in pride of place on my white painted french coffee table!

    Have a gorgeous week!
