Some of my favorite things...

Okay try not to think of that stupid song...yeah sorry about that.  Anyways, I was talking to Mr. Chateau about my favorite things about our house, about home decor, and I realized I have developed quite the list.  Here are a few...

1. Black lampshades with gold interiors

2. Edison lights

3. Crystal chandeliers

4. Louis XVI Chairs
(this one is from Ballard Design...which could get its own blog of things I love)

5. Carrara Marble

6. Gray reclaimed barn wood

7. This light from Restoration Hardware

8. Gray

9. Parisian apartments

10. Mint (or copper patina) --> Benjamin Moore Hollingsworth Green

11. This mixer

12. gold and gray

13. Louis XV Cane back chairs

14. Blowy and romantic drapes

15. white

16. farm tables with elegant chairs

17. mint and gold

18. Louis ghost chairs

19. chateau style fireplaces

20. warm and cozy libraries

I am stopping myself at 20...but I could go on and on.  I feel like it's so important to make our house "ours" (or rather make our house "mine").  I am so extremely blessed to have a husband who indulges me in my endeavor of feathering our nest.  I'm sure it doesn't hurt that I gave him his office to do with as he pleases.  I plan on keeping these images in the forethought of my mind, as I continue on tweaking our place, making it more and more like home.
