French Chateau Home Tour

December 20, 2017 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

WOW, I have such a treat for yall today.  I discovered Brittany’s stunning home when a friend sent me a link and said. . .”you will love this home. . .I went to college with the girl who designed it”.  Well, boy was she right.  I just could not get enough.  I kept looking through every photo on her feed and loved each photo and room more than the next.  Yall need to see her home.  Brittany has a true gift and her home is absolutely stunning!  Love all these photos. . .well, that is because she is also an incredible photographer with an amazing photography business. Grab your favorite drink and enjoy this incredible French Chateau Home Tour.

**WARNING…there are lots of pictures….I just couldn’t narrow them down any more!  Too many great ones!**

FRENCH CHATEAU HOME TOUR

My favorite thing about Brittany’s home is how she took a brand new home and added vintage elements to give it an authentic feel.  She incorporates lots of reclaimed pieces to add character and warmth to her home.

How beautiful is this custom exterior.  It is complete with weathered shutters, French lanterns, slurried brick and tumbled stone.

Look at these gorgeous iron double doors that welcome you into her home.  Be sure to check out all her incredible lighting!  Every detail was thought of and you can tell the passion that went into the design.

This is the beautiful entryway.

Love the symmetry in this beautiful neutral living room.

The exposed brick throughout this home is everything!

I love how open the space is and there is so much natural light.

The brick pavers are old reclaimed brick from Chicago.  She used them throughout the home and as a beautiful wall treatment in the kitchen.  Look how beautiful the copper pots look hanging above the stove.

These windows above the sink overlook the gorgeous courtyard.  Looks just like a French cafe with the string lights.

I am loving the honed marble!

Beautiful powder bath with more honed marble, wall mount faucet and incredible hardware from Anthropologie.

This amazing den is Brittany’s favorite room in the house and I can see why.  The ceiling is made of 150 year old reclaimed beams out of a barn in Michigan, antique brick pavers from Chicago fires, incredible cast stone fireplace and beautiful antiques.

Welcome to this dreamy, cozy master bedroom.

Love the sliding door into the master bath.

Pretty sure there was never a prettier faucet!

 

 

A little girls dream bedroom!

I would love to be a guest in this room.  The bedding is gorgeous.

And…the beautiful guest bathroom.

I think I might actually enjoy doing laundry in this laundry room!

Sweet little nursery

How precious is this playroom?!

Love this bright white office space.  That chandelier. . .those salvaged doors.  Such an inspirational work space!

Pretty little office bathroom.

How amazing is this courtyard?  It was designed to feel like you are in the South of France.  There is a beautiful trickling water feature, scents of lavender and rosemary and twinkling lights.  Brittany’s dad helped complete her vision by putting it all together.  How special!!

I mean….how incredible was that?  I would love to live in this home.  Brittany truly thought of every detail and did such an incredible job making her dream vision come to life.  If you are interested in having Brittany design your home email her at britjonesinteriors@gmail.com and be sure to follow her on Instagram!  She is always sharing incredible photos of her home. . .go check it out decked out for the holidays!

Thanks for coming along on this incredible French chateau home tour with me.  I hope you are as inspired as I am!

When designing our home the kitchen was such an important space. We spend a lot of time in there. I wanted it to be beautiful and functional. Here are some of my favorite features in our kitchen.

I’ve been on the hunt for faux flowers for my outdoor pots and I finally found a winner!!

🌸 comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links

I kept spending lots of money each season on real flowers and it was so much work keeping them alive!

I was looking for a better option and finally found one!

These faux flowers are
•BEAUTIFUL ....always in bloom
•ZERO MAINTENANCE ...no watering, fertilizing, etc
•BUDGET FRIENDLY ...these are priced great and you don’t have to replace them each season
•AND LOOK REAL. Some faux flowers are bad!! These really look good and unless you dig in there you’d never know they are faux

Each pack comes in a bundle of 2 bunches. Each bunch has 7 stems. You can plant 2 ways and I tried both. You can plant the bundle attached together and bend the stems (they are wired) to spread everything out....or....you can cut the bundles apart and plant the stems individually. I ended up doing that and thought they looked more realistic that way.  I ended up using 5 packages (10 bunches) for 2 large pots and 1 smaller pot.

I share both ways on IG stories so you can see the difference.

I also removed some soil and added floral foam blocks beneath, recovered with dirt and stuck the flowers in them.  I don’t think this step was necessary, but I wanted to make sure they were in there firm.

I’m so excited I now get to enjoy beautiful flowers with zero work 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Last year, Geoff and I added wires up this wall in a diamond trellis pattern. We planted creeping fig, but unfortunately, it all died this winter. I just planted Star Jasmine in its place so really hoping it survives. Texas weather is hard!. Thanks to a little AI magic I was able to create what my ultimate vision is. Fingers crossed it will look like this in a couple of years.

I just learned that May 3 is World Naked Gardening Day 🤣 I seriously can’t believe there is a day dedicated to this, but maybe lots of people need fences 🤷🏼‍♀️😉🌱🌿

Yall I recently discovered you could make fun art on ChatGPT using your own images for free! @ciarakenaston inspired me with her Beatrix Potter images and I did a deep dive and found you can do so many cool things!

🩵 Download ChatGPT if you haven’t already and have fun!

Upload an image. Can be of your home, your family, etc and then type in prompts to have it alter your image. You can play around with it and try all kinds of things but here were my prompts for the video

1. Beatrix Potter inspired illustration
2. Jan Brett inspired illustration
3. Vintage oil painting
4. E.H. Shepard inspired illustration 
5. Retro British cottage core style

If you do some be sure to share and tag me. I’d love to see them. Endless possibilities!!
