Inspiring Interiors! goes to Provence

I really liked the name Vanessa from Luxuria came up with for this new little series of mine.  She said she wasn't creative with that sort of stuff but I beg to differ!  She really came up with some great options for me!  Thanks Vanessa!  You are a sweetheart!  I really appreciate it!  Now  I know a lot of my readers already know Vanessa, but if you don't,  then please get to know her and check out her lovely blog!  I think you will enjoy her as much as I do!

So in this little series I am showing you design ideas I have come up with that are either centered around gospel themes, scriptures or positive thoughts, so this time I thought I would do one that is focused on the nine Be's that I try to govern my life by and have even named my blog after.  They are taken from a darling little book that really encourages you to be a better person!

This one is easy to jump off with different ideas from ~ in fact, I have several different design ideas and styles to show you for this theme alone.  When I think of Way To Be!  it is easy to jump into a theme with bee's, which for some reason reminds me of Provence, so that is where this particular board will take us.

The dining room on my inspiration board evokes the sort of feeling I would try to achieve for a kitchen or dining room. I like the rustic, old world mix with beautiful fabrics that seems to welcome and envelope you in the imagery of a beautiful French country home.  I would bring in the Bee reminders through small elegant touches like the lampshade, on the glassware or a decorative bee skep.  To me, the bees are rather subtle reminders in this particular style instead of the main design feature.  A French Country or Provencal theme can be a very beautiful way to remind yourself of the nine Be's to govern your life by.

Stay tuned until next Sunday

for my next design idea for  you!

Au revoir!
