Please have a whole series on French interiors, fashion, and cuisine. This is my favorite European style. So beautiful.

*Rustic Cottage Vibes* . I'm not a gilded girlie or one that fancies anything overly ornate. I do love stone, rustic beams and the more humble utilitarian side of French County.

I’ve always loved French country style and I’m so glad it’s coming back. Would love to see a video on French country kitchens which is something I’m striving for in 2024. Maybe with a haul of practical items (Home Goods, Amazon) that can give us the look on a budget? Thanks!

[diogenes]

Yes! Definitely want to see more of the french country style on your channels. I love blending the french country with English country. I am more of a fan of the "humble" french country, that which historically the "country folks" could afford, using wood materials such as walnut, rush seating, etc, which adds so much charm to a home. Love, love, love armoires! Looking forward to more!

I’m also obsessed with the black and white marble floors! Love! I love to add french country into my modern decor.
When I first started watching your channel, during lockdown, you were very into the French country style and I watched the French episode a million times. Lol. It was my introduction to you.

French country is just gorgeous and so easy to mix with other styles. Love, love, love that this style is returning, though I think it was never fully out.

[lisakotch]

My home here in Missouri is definitely French Provincial. I feel that this style is timeless. Love it! Baskets, pottery, soft earthy color palette. Feels so comforting yet elevated.

I have loved French country from the moment I first saw it years ago! The black & ivory tile, the amoires, fireplaces, crown molding, farm tables in that warm, rich wood, mirrors; the craftsmanship is amazing. It would be awesome if you did a series on it. BTW, great job on the history of styles!

We have had an Ethan Allen Armoire for 40 years. It is Scandinavian style and worked in 18 homes. 🥴🥰

I think a lot of your style reminds me of French Country style in a more sophisticated way. Please talk about how to combine older French style with newer items we can buy for the kitchen and living room. So, so happy because, I have always loved this style. LET THE NEW CLASSES ON FRENCH COUNTRY STYLE BEGIN 🎉🎉🎉

[juliemckinnon]

I think the black and white work in any design style. It’s timeless and gorgeous. If I had a grand entry, it would happen. 🥰

[kerrystewart]

We would love to see more! This is what I am trying to do in my home. French country with some modern pieces. A mix of the old and the new. The natural stone is gorgeous.

I LOVE my aged cream colored armoire in my closet! I have hanging clothes and shoe shelves on each side of the closet. The focus on the back wall looking straight into the closet is a Pottery Barn armoire with mirrored doors. It stores sheets, purses, scarves, garment brushes, belts, and other accessories perfectly and it makes the closet look so uncluttered with the doors being shut, and also the mirrors add to the lightness of a closet. I think I will have it forever!

[rhondareeves]

And you know...Local Antique & Vintage Shops often have a wealth of the items you mentioned from Etsy (& actually a lot of Etsy suppliers have brick & mortars too!). Several of the periods you mentioned, and as I believe you also said, can be incorporated together very well. It's just classic...all of it.

[lyndarieder]

French country style speaks to my soul. Timeless and gorgeous!

[ednareid]

Very interesting!! I do love the black and white floors, just beautiful.

[mjrh]

I am enjoying your more conversational style of speaking. Makes watching far more enjoyable.

[loveBows]

This is the content I need! I am so obsessed with Guilded and English Country decor. Please do more of these!

[practicalcheese]

LOVEEE this kind of video where specific elements that contribute to a style are picked out and explained! I find it so useful. It'd be amazing to see a video on... almost French "bistro" style? But in the home! Like La Mercerie in NYC etc. Or how French influences have occurred in more modern residential settings, especially if you don't have double height spaces to play with hahaha

[esmbwim]

Black and white/ivory checkerboard floors, charming, rustic kitchens, French furniture, particularly armoires, ALL of it makes my heart sing. Please do more content on this topic. Also, you would love the kitchen at LaLande, Stephanie’s home in The Chateau Diaries. The beauty of interior design is the unlimited scope for human creativity. Every style speaks to the human experience. Thanks for discussing the beauty of French style.
