I love the room - sometimes less is more and it looks very peaceful and relaxing - maybe a new light fitting as you say in time you can’t always find just the right thing but I think it’s looking lovely thank you for sharing ❤
The pop of green from the plant on the desk and the windows "framed" in green wisteria bring the outside in. Beautiful room. I happen to like the paper shade on the ceiling light. I have one in my office and love it.
You have a designers eye. Lovely room. Do try looking in the 2nd hand, thrift stores. Beautiful armoires, china, lighting etc., can be found for amazing prices. Throughly enjoying your videos!
Pruning the overgrowth on the wall does make the light come it..leaving it to it’s own devices can make the job so much harder the longer it is left..the weather looks pretty amazing..happy days..☀️🐝☀️
Agreed, last year was our first year experiencing wisteria and we were unsure about its care. The previous owner’s gardener told us that it was rarely cut in 60 years. So you can imagine our hesitation when we moved in. 😉 Not wanting to shock the owner too soon. We remain friends. When she visits, she will definitely have some words! 🤣
Il y a beaucoup de poésie dans cette pièce : la lumière douce qui entre par les fenêtres, la verdure dans le jardin, les couleurs tamisées, les meubles anciens en bois foncé et ce magnifique miroir ovale.
It is amazing what you can unearth from (for me) is the basement of my house (or the Archive de Shame) where my possessions go to metaphorically die. I still like most of it. So now and again I shift things around and just change things up seasonally, for example. I love the mirror, the daybed and the armoire. I like where you have moved it as it is really a display piece and the first major thing that you see when you enter the room. Actually, the mirror/daybed wall and the armoire. They work well together. You have pulled together a lovely guest room from found pieces. Bravo!
Hi, if you’ve still got the cotton bedspreads, you could refashion one into a giant cushion for the day bed seat. Measure, cut to size, fold the other to use as padding. Giant blanket stitch around to hold it all together!
That is a fantastic idea thank you!!! I will do that in the future. 🙏My issue is with the pattern…another little treasure left for us from the sale of this home. Maybe I should wrap them in plastic and preserve them in an armoire I have for storing this homes history of treasures.
I love this room and armoire. My coverlet x 2 is also cream and matte lasse. A solid rug in a natural type jute would be pretty. The window views are stunning
Oh matelas?! Natural jute is a favorite of ours, already in our master and boudoir bedrooms and in the living area. Why not add another… would keep it cohesive…
~the mirror although beautiful seems invasive of the space, & seems uncomfortable above the delicate bed. I would consider moving it to another room. Definitely eliminate the dark bed liner, pillows, & rug. Search for something else. Try moving the bed in between the windows, and moving the armoire to where the bed is now. The mirror on the armoire will reflect the beautiful outdoor foliage! If you still have your leftover kitchen cabinets, remove the door fronts, attach them together to make a door for the closet. Sell the desk (too modern) or move it to your boudoir room. This channel is lovely!
Very beautiful place all around. Watching you pick the antiques and then able to buy them on etsy is perfect. Only wished the dimensions would be in the descriptions. Looked at the small limoges white vase and wondering how tall it is. ?. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of what appears to be the perfect life. ( though it takes obviously a lot of work and vision to create it.)
Bonjour David! Thank you! Justin has the same fear…oh my…this coming week I’ll need to reach the gutters and I’m a bit terrified. 😳 I’ll need to document that experience.
Have you considered moving the bed to the wall where you just put that day bed? The windows on each side would balance that very well, also better flow when walking into the room. The room is very serene and calming.
Thank you for the suggestion..It seemed off having the bed facing the 2 doorways but maybe it can work in the future. I just know that waking up and facing the light in windows is very pleasant.
A wonderful guest room❤ I am sure you will make many changes the next few year’s. Itis a beautiful area you and your husband are living. By the way, my doggies always „help“ me changing the bedcovers ….
@@Frenchcountryfriends 😁 my dog’s are two rescue’s from Romania. I am from Austria, so we have many dogs from there. The bigger one is a boarder collie mix, the little one a sausage dog mix. They look funny together. ❤️
C'est si bon ! Conception exquise. Le Boucante's sont un essentiel source de meubles pour votre belle maison. Le Wisteria est magnifique comme si votre terrasse/cour. Qu'est-ce que region tu de France habite vivre dans ? Bourgogne Department, peut-etre Beaune region? Merci.
Bonjour, Merci beaucoup! C’est un peu bohème/moderne non? J’ai les achète Ikea. C’est SILVERLONN 💯 coton. Je l'ai aussi en blanc dans le reste de la maison. Fantastique curtains!!!!
The wisteria is an invasive plant they can do harm to a structure. They look beautiful when in bloom but will take over an entire area. The guest rooms looks nice! Love whites and natural wood colors in a room, very relaxing! ❤
It’s not looking bare! Less is more, no need to fill every inch! We all need LESS stuff. Love the look of this room. By the way, flat sheets are used with American comforters. When you use a duvet with cover there’s no need for a flat sheet since you wash the duvet cover.
Hi Maggie, great idea! Oh I wish it was versatile. It’s a hand woven wool rug so same on both side. I was thinking jute but I strongly leaning towards a traditional looking but plush area rug. Saving up! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
A lot of houses in Europe have climbing wisteria growing on them because the houses here are made of bricks and stone, so the wisteria is well supported. In regions where the houses tend to be made of timber(like in north America), climbing wisteria is a huge no no ad I believe wisteria is actually considered invasive because the wisteria easily overwhelms timber and can bring timber framed houses down!

Very beautiful property love the mirror!
I think your guest room looks wonderful. Yes, a different area rug and less tribal look will be good. The windows and views are amazing.
Absolutely agree and since this video released this room had already had an update.
I love those glass frogs for flowers. Gorgeous.
Thank you! 😊
I love the mirror there! And that bed is amazing!
Thank you! 🙏
Room looks good looks peaceful
I love the room - sometimes less is more and it looks very peaceful and relaxing - maybe a new light fitting as you say in time you can’t always find just the right thing but I think it’s looking lovely thank you for sharing ❤
Lovely 👌
So thankful you kept the beautiful toddler bed inside!❤
Me too, it would of been a shame to have left it outdoors.
Thank you for watching! 🫶
Beautiful house and beautiful nature ❤️
Be happy ❤❤❤
The room looks beautiful 💕
Thank you!
Beautiful room… love the old daybed that you brought into the space! It looks perfect between the two windows.🧺
I’m glad you agree, it was a relief to find a place for it.
What a gorgeous room❤❤❤
Thank you A! 💕
The guest room looks nice, love it. Like the armoire on the big wall!♥️♥️♥️♥️😘
The pop of green from the plant on the desk and the windows "framed" in green wisteria bring the outside in. Beautiful room. I happen to like the paper shade on the ceiling light. I have one in my office and love it.
Hello I really like the change in the desk 👍🏻 It looks lovely ! See you on the next video have a wonderful weekend !!🌼🌸🦋🥰💕
Thank you! You too Anita. 🫶
I like the peaceful, neutral colors in your guest room❣️🥰💕God bless you three ❣️🙏🏻💕
Thank you! 🤗
love your decor ideas!
I appreciate that! 💕
Very lovely an cozy room. 😊Edith from Chicago ❤
You did a great job- the bench styling wow!!
Thanks so much! 😍
That 200 year old daybed is stunning - so much soul
Oui! 💕💕💕💕
It will evolve with time, just like us. You have a good eye and great finds at brocantes

🫶 Thank you Diane. The best places to find unique pieces to fill the home. I’m looking forward to finding those items…

It is a beautiful room. Love your house and Marloe’s as well. Best always.
Thank you so much Cynthia- Marloes @frenchcountrylife is very inspiring. 💕
I love the changes you made. Yes, it take time to discover treasures for a home, but oh what fun it’s going to be!! 😊👍
It really is! As I’ve matured I’ve understood the need to be more deliberate with my choices. It’s never good to be wasteful.
Much better now it looks balance❤
It’s changed again! I should do an update soon. 💕
Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed watching. The minimalistic decor looks great and appears peaceful 👍🏾
We appreciate that, thank you kindly. 💕
Oooh I love the room!! You have such a good eye for style and decorating!!
Thank you so much Marloes! 🙏💕
The room is gorgeous! I'm with you regarding 'natural' fabrics, etc. Somehow, they bring such a comfortable, calm and unpretentious beauty to a space.
Yay I’m glad you agree, we should all be more material conscious. 🙏
,the room looks beautiful
Thank you! 🫶
It looks beautiful just the way you have it now !
Thank you Ruby. 🫶
The room is just beautiful and roomy,
Thank you Selma. 🫶
Bellissimo grazie 👏👍😘🐾

Hi Kathleen, we loved reading your message, thank you! It’s almost -as if- we rediscover ourselves as we shift the things we bring into our homes. 🤣
I think the room looks calm & restful. And when you're in the mood you could always introduce a pop of colour.
Thank you for taking the time to comment. 🫶 I do like green…that would be nice…

I get how you've got to just prop it right. Its a great feeling when it looks just as you think it should be. It creates just the right look
I like it.
That looks really lovely!
Thank you! Cheers!

Hi David, thank you for your message. Life is beautiful here but definitely without its downsides. The limoges vase is a mini one, at only 17cm. 🫶
Thank you for your reply.
That room is so much better than before....terrified watching you on the ladders Jenny 😬I don’t do heights lol

Merci beaucoup Stéphanie, nous vivons dans les Hautes Pyrénées, et vous ?
Your vlog is very similar to “French Country Life”. She’s very calming to listen to,as do you.
The bench would easily take a hit of color,maybe botanical and floral design.
The biggest furniture usually goes on the biggest wall, as a rule. Maybe wait to pick up a buffet/ sideboard from a brocante for that wall?
À neutral floral sounds lovely!!! Especially for the spring and summer months 💕
Oh no, I’m irritated by own voice 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Bonjour, j'adore la façon dont vous avez décoré cette chambre. Quelle est la référence de vos voilages, svp ? merci 😀

The wisteria is an invasive plant they can do harm to a structure. They look beautiful when in bloom but will take over an entire area.
The guest rooms looks nice! Love whites and natural wood colors in a room, very relaxing! ❤
Thanks for the info, yes this one has been growing for 60 years…😮😮😮😮
The wisteria is beautiful but too much work plus what damage does it do to the building ?
No damage at all. Just need to maintain it 2x a year. We didn’t cut it back a lot when we moved in bc we didn’t want to shock the previous neighbor.
It’s not looking bare! Less is more, no need to fill every inch! We all need LESS stuff. Love the look of this room. By the way, flat sheets are used with American comforters. When you use a duvet with cover there’s no need for a flat sheet since you wash the duvet cover.
Thank you Monique…oui minimally understated yet balanced. 🫶
Get u a big beautiful tree in THE left corner bring life to the room and big beautiful Headboard
Agree! I especially can’t wait for a headboard. 💕
I would put the desk next to the wordrobe (armoir) and left the passage empty.
Thank you for the suggestion. 🫶
try to put a tray with nice tea pot and a cup on the bed!
If the pattern doesn’t go all the way through to the back you could always turn the area rug over, maybe 🤔
Hi Maggie, great idea! Oh I wish it was versatile. It’s a hand woven wool rug so same on both side. I was thinking jute but I strongly leaning towards a traditional looking but plush area rug. Saving up! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
bring a lovely green plant into the room
I would love a fiddle leaf fig.
An you flip the rug over?
I was hoping for some color, somewhere.
Yes, just right outside the window. Wonderfully green and the sky in different hues of blues…nature is so wonderfully colorful. ❤
And so hard to see at night. @@Frenchcountryfriends
I prefer bare room decor...less is more!
Not sure why you want the Wisteria growing on the house.
A lot of houses in Europe have climbing wisteria growing on them because the houses here are made of bricks and stone, so the wisteria is well supported. In regions where the houses tend to be made of timber(like in north America), climbing wisteria is a huge no no ad I believe wisteria is actually considered invasive because the wisteria easily overwhelms timber and can bring timber framed houses down!
Thank you Lola! 💕 I dream of driving through the Cotswolds and admiring all the wisteria one day.
The rug and the brown things on the bed are awful and really spoil the room but the rest is lovely
I kinda agree, could use a refresh. 🤣 I’m ready for upgrade as I mentioned but it will take time…
