French Farmhouse



I went to the Dallas World Trade Center today to just walk around and get inspired ~
It is full of the latest trends in home decor and I was kind of surprised to see the French Farmhouse look literally everywhere ~
I like it alot although it kind of reminds me of about 20 years ago to some degree ~ I guess decorating styles come back ~

This Friday, Katies Rose Cottage and the shops at Make Mine Pink are doing "French Farmhouse" for the Pink Friday theme ~

Here are a few pics that I took at market today ~

My favorites are the ones in the first picture! I just love the colors & you're right, decorating styles do come back. Hopefully not all of them though =)

Have a good night,

Lori,thank goodness you keep us up to date with going to the shows frequently! You're right, what's old is new again. But I still like the blue!

I love french farmhouse. I don't think it ever really left, it's just what pallate people are pulled at.

Hi, lovely blog! Just found you - great shots of the showrooms. Ironically, if you like a French Farmhouse look you may like my latest post.

Looks like a day of trouble with a capital "T". I would have gone nuts there. I wouldn't have had any money left in my checking account after visiting there! Thanks for taking pictures and sharing!
