French by Design

During our trip to New Braunfels. this past

weekend, we had the wonderful opportunity 

to tour a magnificent home

Welcome to the home of Doug and Lilly

This talented couple designed their

home in the true french country style

and decorated it with art and furnishings

from their world travels

This spectacular home is a feast for the eyes!

It's set in the beautiful rolling hills

of the Texas Hill Country

As you enter their home you are surrounded by their collection of  elegant art work

Let's turn that corner and see where it leads to........

Are you drooling yet???

want to take a closer look at Lilly's amazing kitchen

And to add to the charm of this

french country kitchen

there is a delightful pantry

I could stay in this pantry forever!!

and her laundry room is just as pretty..

 This home has some of the prettiest tile work

I've ever seen

Here is my favorite room....

 The Sun Room

just off the kitchen

 

Doug and Lilly told us the ceiling in this room

was designed for this unique light fixture

 It's a piece of art work itself!!

......and the bedrooms are fabulous also....

The most unique room in this amazing home

(well in my humble opinion)

is the toilette off the entry hall

They incorporated an old baptismal font 

as the sink

 and this beautiful mirror hangs off the wall

at a slight angle above the font

Bien joue`

Tu as fait un boulot formidable

Well done!  You did a magnificent job!

 After our tour of Doug and Lilly's home

we headed to Gennaro's Trattoria

Our dear friend Janie had made 

reservations for a late lunch

for the six of us

We were surrounded by great food, good wine

and fabulous company!!

Every Little Birdie says-

  Good friends, good food, good wine

LIFE AT IT'S BEST

and now we are off to the beach for a few days
See you when we return home
Meanwhile join me at the parties over at
