French Country With a Western Flair


 French Country can incorporate a blend of styles.  We went to a family wedding in West Texas and enjoyed seeing the western flair in homes.  The fringed lamp makes you want to grab a book and read by the light.   The use of aqua is a wonderful accent to blend comfortable chairs for conversational seating.

 The round coffee table unifies the space.
 The cozy bench under the window with a soft pillow provides more seating.
 A trip to antique shops shows a French country chair with vintage cain backing.
 This Victorian sofa covered with white leather brings warmth with two lamps glowing.
 Wish I had room to take home this wonderful chair with an ornate wooden backing.

 Since we were in Texas the western horns made a statement.
