Feeling French

Today's post is brought to you from beneath the Eiffel Tower, 

with a croissant and cafe au lait in hand!

Feeling our French theme? Great!

Then it's time to show you French Connection, by Ro Gregg. 

What led Ro along this French-inspired path? 

One word: Roosters.

Ro says:

Look at my kitchen; you'll see that I love roosters. I have a big, Tuscan-inspired kitchen with a huge ceramic rooster and hen. I decided to blend those two ideas together: that feeling of Provence. I have been to the south of France, and it's a mix of two worlds—from nature side, the rooster, and then mixing it with vintage paisley patterns. 

I interpreted vintage swatches, mixing the damask look and paisley with roosters, all in blues, yellows, and warm reds. 

(Here are close-ups of a few of our favorites!)
