As a French person, this is incredibly funny to me as a lot of pieces of furniture featured in this video would be considered old and out of style when I was younger. Now, I am really happy we kept some of my grandparents' furniture and tableware.
I gotta say, I LOVE that exposed beam idea (and the link to how to "fake it"). It works with so many aesthetics and period ideas. Once more, thank you! Your ideas always inspire!
I love the juxtaposition of ruggedness and elegance. I've yet to find another style that hits that sweet spot. Growing up in Missouri it just feels "normal".
😱 I'm french, I live in the country, on an ancient farm. I have every item you're referring to 🤣 mostly from my family. There are different country aesthetics depending on where you are. The one you're talking about is very ''chateau'' and Parisian country/ family houses. The tablecloths with olives are from the south. You'll find them in an old stone ''mas'' (old house), with rough wooden furnitures and yellow ''ocre'' walls.
Hii, I saw the video and I have to point some things you miss, first the French Country decor have three categories FARMHOUSE(RUSTIC), PROVINCAL AND CHATEAU and all three goes together in in this time, but hundreds of years not, in the only space that can be the same was the kitchen. THE COLORS OF THE THREE ARE DIFFERENT, ARQUITECTURE AND DECOR. YOU MENTION THE ONLY CHAIR FOR THIS DECOR IS LOUIS 16, NOT AT ALL, YOU HAVE FROM LOUIS 13, 14, 15, 16, DIRECTORIE, NAPOLEON 1, KING LOUIS PHILIPPE, NAPOLEON 3, ART NOUVEAU, and ART DECO.The video expose some great ideas of course is also more. Thank you for sharing❤❤
I love your whole vibe... I happened to catch a dark academia video and not only learned something new but it helped mentally and inspired me to do a few things to my own room. I can't wait to watch more and thanks for being you. Oh and now I'm trying to figure out my own style lol (saw that video too) and trying to figure out a beach/cottage/blue young aesthetic... it's a whole thing lol
Oooo this is nice,if you don't mind I'll use these ideas when building houses for my Sims. One question, do the interior wood beams go throughout the house or just in certain rooms? Oh and was the livingroom cooler this time around?
It depends. Beams are structural, if you had a choice, you regularly hid the beams and had a nicer ceiling, but most common houses (which were then cheaper) had lower ceilings. So upstairs they covered the beams, for a clean look, but downstairs not covering the beams was a way to give more height and light to a room as well as it offered space to hang herbs and flowers to dry. So you most often saw it in kitchens and sitting rooms. Nowadays everywhere is a nice place but dust can easily collect there and fall down so do try to think about your practical needs
As to the cooler: compared to what? It were stone houses with big walls often with cellars and thus the downstairs was very cool. This made sure the house was cool in summer, but the stone also kept the warmth in in winter, but given they only had hearths and single pane windows, houses were hard to keep warm and drafty (hency why they worked hard to build homes to keep thr heat in, because it was so warm to get the place warm in the first place). From 18th century onward, you had "sun rooms" with a lot of glass, or verandas if they wanted to sit in a warm sunny room.
Well, obviously in the 1700s there were no electric lamps, so I guess technically ANY lampshades could be acceptable, but obviously some will work less good than others and some lamps would also work less good than others, but that a simple white shade with or without pleats might look better with a busy lamp in your toile patterns or floral motif, etc.

I would love to see how you decorated in the new French! Can you suggest any videos to watch? Thank you!
I feel like French country is kind of like if cottage core and royal core had a baby 😄 Great video as always!

@@BelgianBisous actually I was asking her if her own living room was cooler as last video she was complaining about the heat on that room
You look like Evelyn Nesbit. Early 20th century.
Where is your new music channel connection link I couldn’t find it?
Whoops, I totally forgot to add it!! @vividevocation is the channel
But the super-dark beams are technically more English, right? That whole region of the black/white exteriors that is the Midlands or some such?
some these tiles more beige than grey a bit.

If I am am moving t' the French countryside, I might also bring in the COWS from outside, too, oui?
