Happy Monday, everyone. \u00a0We just arrived home from a whirlwind week-end in Washington, DC where we enjoyed a bridal shower and a bachelorette party for our son’s fiancee, Josie. \u00a0The wedding will take place on July 5, and we are so excited to welcome her into our family. \u00a0What a gem she is!<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

A blog that I always stay caught up on is Pariscope Home by Kim Hites. \u00a0She has a love for anything French and is actually there right now. \u00a0Before she left, she was kind enough to write a guest post for us that we are sharing today. \u00a0Enjoy meeting Kim.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

I was happy to be invited by fellow Kentuckian and blogger Janette to do a guest post on this great blog she shares with her daughter Jordan, and I\u2019m glad to meet YOU, their readers.<\/h3>\n

Hello, I\u2019m Kim Hites from the blog of the same name:\u00a0 Kimberly Hites<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 My subtitle is Pariscope Home\u2026for the love of French style\u00a0 because my favorite design style is most definitely French.\u00a0 I\u2019ve had a love of all things French and French Country d\u00e9cor for many years now.\u00a0 Highlights for me have included meeting Charles Faudree and traveling to France a couple times a year in search of antiques.<\/h3>\n

I thought I\u2019d share some French Country motifs and vignettes around my house that hopefully will inspire you.\u00a0 A sort of \u201clookbook\u201d if you will.<\/h3>\n

I am always drawn to \u201cLa Tour Eiffel\u201d.\u00a0 It makes very special vignettes.<\/h3>\n

Lavender always says Provence and France to me.\u00a0 I usually grow and harvest my own.<\/h3>\n

Anything that says Paris is always so tr\u00e9s chic!<\/h3>\n

The kitchen is one of the best rooms to add French Country flair.<\/h3>\n

The French pay close attention to architectural elements and detail.<\/h3>\n

They know how to take ordinary everyday objects and elevate them to something special.<\/h3>\n

If I could only have 3 things in my d\u00e9cor that spoke of France they would be:<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

An Armoire<\/h3>\n

I hope this has inspired you to add a little French Country flair to your interiors.\u00a0 Thank you, Janette for asking me to share something special with your readers.<\/h3>\n

Au Revoir,<\/h3>\n
