Jeanne d'Arc Style

Anyone familiar with Jeanne d'Arc and love their 

Vintage Look & Flea Market Finds ?

We do.

Jeanne d'Arc was born in 2004 by Lonnie Wurtz and Vivian Christensen.

In 2009 came the magazine

Jeanne d'Arc Living.

Originally written for Danish readers, this magazine

was all about French & Nordic Style, which we adore.

The magazine is now available in several languages.

We are soon to stock some of the magazines.

Please let us know if you are interested as copies will be limited.

We will be stocking some of the home accessories.

For those who love to sew are these beautiful

embroidered letters have been sewn onto an aged piece of paper

and can be transferred onto a cushion cover, pillowslip anything that you

want to personalise.

This lovely Iron Window Frieze

is perfect to finish a window like below

without blocking any light.

How different is this look.

We love them.

They come in a couple of sizes and styles.

All the home accessories and furniture has a wonderful relaxed

style about it.

The furniture mostly white and grey

is made from Mango Wood.

Made from reclaimed window shutters, these

room dividers have been painted white,

have a wonderful patina, come in various sizes according to the shutters used to make them

and are such a lovely addition to a vintage home.

Well my appetite has been wetted.

And looking at these lovely things have inspired me to get out my paint brush again.

Spring is truly in the air, blossom is out.

Spring cleans and re-paints is on my list.

Have a lovely week.

Bye for now.

A Painted Wooden Floor

My Study, Sewing Room come Laundry!

had a very tired wooden floor.

over the years I have been painting more of the furniture in this room.

So now I wanted to paint the floor.

First we sanded.

Then cleaned.

Then two undercoats.

Followed by two coats of

Farrow & Ball Floor Paint.

Overall it has made this room

very bright, not that it was a dark room.

So with not one little piece of wood

unpainted in this room left I am happy.

Whites, Greys, Pale Blues and Stone

are the shades of F&B I have

chosen.

With matching accessories.

Baskets and wooden box's and grates to

keep things tidy.

Oops, just spotted a bit of natural basket.

That will have to go.

I will paint this in

Cornforth.

I used Cabbages & Roses Natural Hatley Blue

for the soft furnishings.

I have also treated myself to some new photo

frames from our shop.

This really is...

A Room Of Ones Own.

Just how I like it.

We have been busy in the Barn painting the beams,

well Hubby was!

While I have been painting some furniture.

I will show these next time.

Until then.

Love from

Carol
