I have a thing for deliciously aged interiors. With distressed walls and furniture that looks as if it has a story to tell. Currently researching how to get an aged plaster look and even aged wood panelling. I’m not really a lover of boring plastered walls, high spec finishes and “done” decor. I want to live in a house that feels like a weird dystopian fairytale. Can’t wait for the solicitors to pull their fingers out so we can get our house in France and start renovations. #distressedwalls #frenchantiques #vintageglamour #vintageinteriors #renovation #houseinfrance #escapetofrance #agedplaster #interiorsinspo #interiordesign #escapism #unusualinteriors
Garden Project Week One...
Lots of digging and leveling.
Removing all the old pool paving
Putting in power and water
Graveling and compacting paving areas ready for the concrete bases
Big progress but then no work this week as they are waiting on some materials and it’s a holiday Thursday.
Laugh of the day....emmanuel was marking out the paths in the orchard and asked me to come and have a look. As we walked around he pointed to a section and said...there are the new trees...all I could see was a spindly trunk and so asked exactly what type of fruit tree had he planted. Very politely he explained it was not a fruit tree but a dead stick he had stuck in the ground to show where the tree would be see last pic...think my garden knowledge is in a par with my French

Ich habe immer wieder nach einem neuen Namen für mein Account gesucht, aber erst gestern habe ich mit Unterstützung von meinem Mann, tatsächlich eins der verfügbar war gefunden Halleeeellllluja „Dreams Come True“, also der Name von meinem Blog ist vor 10 Jahren entstanden. Seit letztem Jahr ist mein Blog stillgelegt, und irgendwie passte der Name nicht mehr ♀️
„FRENCH STYLE AND LIVING“ Und wie der Name schon sagt, es wird weiterhin ziemlich französisch hier zu gehen „Je t'embrasse“ zu Deutch „ich umarme Dich“, und wünsche Euch einen schönen Tag

Didn’t have time over the weekend to post a garden update.
The rain bucketed down for most of the week but they managed to get all the steel edging done for the herb/cutting flower section of the garden. You may look at the picture and just see square metal boxes but I see masses of peonies, roses, dahlias..boxes of absolute happiness
Emmanuel @emmanueltaillard has been hard at work on the stone walls pruning the old grape vines, removing creeper we don’t want but keeping a lot of the lovely little plants that have made their home between the stones and cutting back to creeper that had totally taken over one of the entrances to the walled garden.
So gradually it all starts to take shape. I enjoy seeing the progression and the artisans at work but another part of me wants to press the fast forward button and have it all now. Happy Queenies birthday wherever you are ❤️

The chateau and gardens are looking particularly beautiful at the moment, with the sun shining, the birds singing, it really is paradise here. ⠀

Finally after 5 & half years of collecting mileage. Less than a month to go before we are moving to our beloved home in France. .

(Inspiration) So many things to do on my list. I am not sure if I will have the time for all as I will be a full time gardener & a head of housemaid . But still Dreaming of our main gate makeover. Or could be the gate to a potager? This is a garden designed by master landscape architect Dominique Lafourcade at Abbaye Sainte Marie de Pierredon. Can’t find who took this photo but wanted share an inspiration.:@pinterest
25 후면 드디어 프랑스 집으로 돌아가요. 매일 매일 할일들이 늘어나고 있네요. 다 할 시간 있을지 모르겠네요. 프랑스 에서 정원사 와 하우스 메이드로 일해야 해서요 ㅎㅎ명절 연휴 잘 보내셨지요 ? .

I rather like the anonymity of my account right now, so I didn’t want to share a photo of me just yet! But I did really want to share a little bit more of *me* with you guys, and I’ve been tagged a couple of times in tags along these lines, so I’ve kind of blended them a bit!
_
Here goes:
What’s in a name?
It does what it says on the tin! I put very little thought into it, and lets face it, the background is more green than it is blue, but ‘booksongreen’ just doesn’t sound right
_
When did you start your account?
End of Feb/ beginning of March 2018
_
How often do you post?
Usually around 3 times a week, but I want to start posting a load more!
_
Your strengths?
I’d like to think i’m a pretty positive person, and quite good at brushing myself off, starting again, and keeping on going on
_
A quality you would like to acquire?
I’d like to be more confident and care-free! I have pretty bad anxiety, and would love to overcome that a little.
_
Would you prefer to be an author or a publisher?
A publisher, definitely definitely definitely (although teenage me would have said the opposite!)
_
Writers who inspire you? - Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche
- Zadie Smith
- Ali Smith
- Virginia Woolf - George Orwell
_
Your biggest female role models in fiction?
I generally look up to the writers more (see above), but some badass lady characters, off the top of my head are:
1. Mrs Ramsay from To The Lighthouse
2. Kiki from On Beauty
3. Ifemelu from Americanah
_
Standalone or Series?
Standalone for sure
_
What’s your biggest dream?
To live in the south of France and tootle around in my Citroen 2cv with a scruffy dog in the back
Live completely self-sufficiently and sustainably (which maybe counteracts the 2cv)
Own a bookshop in a vibrant little town
Find the perfect reading chair, which I’m pretty sure will be made my @loafhome
_
7 things you love besides books?
plants, music (especially records), indie magazines, tea & biscuits, yellow, scruffy little dogs, cool stationary, crafts (I know that’s 8 eep)
