- Join me this week as we head to the town of St Christophe du Ligneron, just 30 minutes outside the town of Saint Gilles Croix de Vie, in Vendee France, for a large Flea Market! I still have a few holes in the house left to fill (especially the entry!) and I'm in search of a few flea market finds to give Maison Coli some additional warmth and character!

that umbrella stand used to carry coal for the fireplace - back in the early sixties, when we still had coal stoves, every household would have one of these (be it less fancy ones, lol), but then we switched to gas and now everyone has radiators, so...
that is what I was thinking too, since it has 2 handles....
I totally agree. In Britain, they are called coal 'scuttles'. You fill them, keep them beside the fireplace, then when the fire gets low, you pour more coal from the scuttle into the fireplace. Makes a nice umbrella stand though.
Interesting 🤔🤔
Yeah, I was also thinking that old antique umbrella stand looked suspiciously like an old antique coal scuttle 😄
@@micbarker6256 it definitely is a coal scuttle per my british grandmother. the lower handle is the give away. you held the 2 handles to pour out the coal. she still has one very similar that she has on her porch with flowers now. it was used by her grandparents & so on...its odd that business that beth bought it from listed it as an umbrella stand. i would have listed it as an antique coal scuttle that makes a perfect umbrella stand or flower pot, etc...at any rate, its charming as a decor piece. think about all that work & coal dust back then.
The entry turned out so pretty! I would be worried the fabric panel would get in the way of function.
Hmmm I personally wouldn't put the fabric panel. The entryway is so small and you already have all this natural wood and jute and other neutral brown tones to soften the look. I think adding the fabric panel would draw the attention away from all the natural lighting you already have coming from your front entry way and such. Plus the door is statement in itself! It's a wonderful dark color to contrast with the walls and all the furnishings you put up :) If you wanted some other decoration there, I'd suggest some sort of painting or piece you can put above the door to welcome you guys when you come into/leave the house.
Agreed. It looks so clean and tidy, but also homey, the way it is now. It doesn't need anything else!
I agree totally. It would be too much, IMO
💯
I could see just a gauzy piece of sheer drapery--very simple and light.
Love your entry. I would order a little box to cover up the panels and maybe fix some hooks in it where you can hang some keys. Hello from Malta
If I were you I would never leave this place. It's my go to retirement place. Maybe I need to start looking for a cute small house. I love your France videos Beth, you did a great job with the house. I live in Greece and we also have interesting little villages with ttaditional markets, but I think that nothing beats those French vibes, with wine and cheese nights.
Aww I would love to visit Greece one day! My husband always talks about how beautiful it is :) And from the French house we are that much closer! Hopefully some day! :)
@@EntertainingWithBeth Bonjour Beth!!!
look at "living the good life" . She has tons of spoons.
What a treat your vlogs are! Smiling from ear to ear, watching you shop and seeing your treasures incorporated into your beautiful home!! Thanks for sharing your amazing experiences with us!!
I'm so glad you are enjoying them! They are always so fun to share! :) We are enjoying the treasures too! But still hunting for the mustard spoon ha!
Hi Beth, I think your umbrella stand is actually a coal scuttle 🙂 but it's lovely there for umbrellas! Your entryway is gorgeous.
Just coming to say that definitely a coal scuttle you wouldn’t need two handles for an umbrella stand .
I, too, thought it was a coal scuttle. But then wondered “why do I even know what a coal scuttle is?” LOL. Amazing the tidbits our minds hang onto especially when the location of keys and eyeglasses remain elusive !!! BEAUTIFUL home. Thanks for sharing.
This is the third coal scuttle I've seen this week, second in a French vlog and the other was an Oregon based channel on an antique daytime lol That's how we know what it is 🤔😉
Must be one used for a big cook stove which needed quite a bit of coal. The scuttle would nicely pair with the oven. The handles of the stove and the protective bars around the stove, were also often made from copper. In this way the functional parts enhance the design.
I was just about to say the same thing about the old coal scuttle.
The flea market shopping was a delight, Beth. I won't lie. I was curious what you and your friend ate after shopping and hauling the lovely entry piece back to the car. Love the added pieces to your entryway and that gold mirror is divine. Keep the videos coming. They're so much fun to watch. Take care. 🌟💕👏🏾
Ha! You know what we ate? The leftovers from the Dinner Party for 16 ha! If you look at the end of that video, you'll see all the guests came back for lunch, that was this day :) So glad you are enjoying the videos! :)
@@EntertainingWithBeth hi Beth. Enjoying your channel. What village is your home located in? Thanks
Thanks for sharing the flea market
Wow!! My dream never leave home!
It's a effortless elegance with comforting feel. I have been really enjoying this French series, thank you 🥰🤗💛
Literally squealed in joy seeing your upload
LOL! Aww so glad you enjoyed it! :)
Same here
@@EntertainingWithBeth Even though you and I have probably so little in common, but surprisingly i love “Everything “ about you and your taste. Be blessed and happy! 😍
Same! Every time I see Beth’s video is up! I’m loving these Beth in France series.
Same! I open my eyes on Saturday morning and grab my phone!! Today the dog waylaid me and other plans for a bit, but as soon as I could, I planted myself with a cool drink and clicked play!
Such a fun day!! Your entryway turned out lovely! Since you asked; I'd leave the entryway as is. I think a swag would complicate it.
So enjoyed the flea market. You have some great finds and I like that you moved the tassel to the armoire. As stated earlier in the comment, keep the entryway simple.
Oh Beth you have most impeccable taste! If you ever tire of cooking for a living (please don't), you could easily be an interior designer. I'm so envious of your access to these huge flea markets in France - what a goldmine! I'm sorry if you've already shared this, but where is your rental located in France? It would be such a treat to stay there, and we're hoping to travel to France in the next couple years.
Wow...wow...I don't think I would ever return to the States. I am so enjoying these videos. France, especially the countryside, is my idea of good living. Those beautiful items that you just purchased were fabulous pieces. Great job Beth. Oh how I would have loved to be there. Enjoy your life love. Looking forward to the next one. Merci!!!
I love the Flea Market... I would love that place. Great finds. A woman will labour for a loved piece. Your house is not a house, it is a home. Thanks for taking us along.
All beautiful!!!! Congratulations...
Yessssss! Currently living for your videos lately. Your content is so inspiring and interesting and makes me feel like everyTHING is manageable. Thank you sooo much!
Ha! Oh it is! Especially when we keep our focus on "What We CAN do" instead of "What we CAN'T" :) So glad you are enjoying them! :)
Love the entry way, it’s perfect! 😊
Great finds, Beth! I love the little chest and the farm field painting is a treasure, perfectly placed. I love everything you’ve done in the home, elegant but not pretentious. A pretty swag would look lovely by the front door, it would soften the door when closed as well. Good move with the tassel too. It’s too pretty to hide, needs to be eye level to appreciate. LOVE it ALL!
Don't know but I didn't want this video to end especially going to that market which I enjoyed so much, hope you could repeat the same trip in the future. As I taste the entre' looked elegant and well organized
Aww so glad you enjoyed it! It was so much fun and I wish it wasn't so hot the day we went, and that I didn't run out of money LOL! Otherwise I would have stayed longer ha! :)
@@EntertainingWithBeth ، thank you I really enjoy all your videos 👍🌹
I like that cabinet you got at the Flea Market.
Best timing with my coffee always a pleasure to watch you
That entry way piece was gorgeous ....I loved the tasseled key.
So glad you liked it! :) And yes that tassel is just so cute! :)
I just discovered you today. I'm in a depression and I really needed this. Thank you for your videos.
Aww so glad the videos can lift your spirits! Sometimes a little "arm chair travel" is just what we need! :)
Great finds at the brocante! Love how the entryway came together.
Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed it! :)
The copper "umbrella stand" is called a coal scuttle in the UK. It would stand beside the fire full of coal so you did not have to keep going outside for the coal in the winter.
You are living my dream. Nothing better than France and flea markets❤️
Beth you can add a fabric curtain to the door window, also good for privacy reasons.
That way you can decide to open or close the curtain. When the door is closed, it will soften the look…
There’s a specific kind they use in traditional french houses👍🏽
As an interior designer, gotta say you have great taste! Love the aesthetic!
Wow, thank you! :) So kind of you to say! :) It's a mis-match of things, but they make us happy :) Ha!
What a work out for your entry way "work of art"! Very impressed to the "WOMAN WITH A MISSION"!
This video is my perfect definition of a chill countryside summer :)
Ha! Yes! It certainly has been nice to be in this little bubble this summer :) Especially after the crazy year we've all experienced :)
Beth the cabinet is beautiful look very beautiful in entrance way gorgeous
I love markets like that. You can find the most unique things. Glad you found some treasures you loved and they look so nice in your house
You hit the jackpot with your flea market finds! ♡ all perfectly functional and beautiful. I am enjoying this series so much! In fact, I would be interested in these types of videos every now and again from the U.S. !
The entryway looks so welcoming! Really love seeing everything come together.
I love all of your treasures Beth! What fun. The entry turned out beautiful. I love it❤️
Simply enjoyed this video and your whole French series! I’m living vicariously - just beautiful!!!
Beth I will follow you anywhere because..YOU ARE THE BEST SHOPPER. You have an incredible eye and excellent taste. Fabulous brocante and it is amazing what you can find, so many TREASURES!!!
LOL! Oh you could pick up something blind folded in there and not make a bad choice LOL! So many treasures to be found! It's happening again tomorrow and I'm going back! Ha! Need to find another mirror for our bedroom! And that spoon! LOL!
Hey Beth ,I think u should leave as is because u don’t want to over crowd your space .it’s beautiful just the way you have it and u have such great taste when it comes to your design 👍👌🫶I love it✌️
Oh Beth..Coffee tastes better with you honey..Thank you for your weekend offering. Can't wait to see what you find! 🥰🙈🚗🚗🚗🚗what a joy ride🙂
I'm so glad you are enjoying them! :) So fun to have you all along for the ride! :)
Hi from NZ. Love your entranceway as it is. Also - that's not an umbrella stand but a coalscuttle that you've put to very good use.
I think your entryway is perfect/complete. It’s really nice and I cannot believe what a difference a cabinet (I would have taken the trouble to haul it back to the car too), mirror and hooks could transform a space. The picture in the kitchen is perfect on that wall and from what I can see, the main area of the house looks complete. You have reached the point of cozy and inviting without competing with the views of the garden. Cannot wait for a grand tour.
Beautiful piece for the entryway! I love how it all looks. The mirror is gorgeous. Great finds👍🏻
Beths word of the day, “coloration”😃 everything looks fabulous! And thanks for the fun tour of the flea market!!
always looking forward to your good vibes and shopping experiences at the flea markets! Thanks so much for sharing with us, i can’t wait to travel soon and visit flea markets like you do! You have such a good eye for spotting vintage pieces to fit into your home decor! So inspired 😍
I’m totally enthralled with these France lifestyle/home videos Beth! Please make a future video on coffee!!! All kinds and traditional☕️💯☕️💯☕️💯☕️💯☕️💯☕️💯☕️
Complimenti per il gusto con cui ha arredato casa,bellissima!
Oh what fun! Thank you for sharing your beautiful adventure.
Love flea markets! Love what you've shown US of this part of France! One day I might go there, lovely.
love the beautiful finds you have been collecting 💕 your house 🏠 is a beauty 😍 ❤ xx
Good morning Beth!!! Thank you for taking us along. LOVE going on treasure hunts!!!! Hope you find your hooks.. looking forward to going along on your tour!!! Thanks!
Qui belle all the goodies from the puce brocante! I love the French Southern Coastal vibes! The textures and how you repurposed items is elegant yet livable. Tre jolie!
That cabinet looks just perfect and the hangers do, too! You have such a good eye for things 😀
I like the entry rug (sisal rug). Yes, the fabric at the entry would look great.😊
Such a beautiful home 🏠 Beth
Every corner filled with so much love 💕
Stay blessed 😇
The entry way looks amazing! What a great adventure!
Great job, fun to get to do it all with you.
What a perfect entrance, great findings from the flea market! 😊
Lovely Tour of the Flea Market Beth💞 awesome buys too... your friend and you are great bringing the wooden chest to the car 1 km away!! Great Mission accomplished indeed 🤗
Beth, This has been a joy! Every video is so much fun. Thanks for taking us along!
I love the entrance as it is with the new thinks that you found in the flea market but, surprise us with the idea that you have. Thanks for taking us with you to the flea market. I will love to be there too. Bye.😜
Another fun video from Beth! Loving your French series, Beth!
How delightful! Thank you for sharing.
Honey, you’re like a breath of fresh air. You are always so happy and informative and so at ease with it all. Just love your videos. Thank you so much for making them
It all looks Fantastic ,love that entry !!! Good job Beth! Cant wait for the next video!
This was such fun! You gave us such a great view point of getting there and then getting your “finds”to the car! Exhausting but worth the effort!!! Barbell curls will help for future shopping!lol
Another awesome video!! Thank you!!
It’s all coming together so beautifully… i don’t know how you’ll go back to every day life 🙂
I would not add the fabric. I think your door is already a beautiful feature and the natural decor you have now is already good enough🌷
The house is just gorgeous and so joyful and serene!! The walnut and muted tones - the natural textures…. Magnificent! Best of all you seem to be so happy!!!
What beautiful finds! They were perfect for your space! I was just dreaming as you were walking through the sale! 😊
I love flea markets , thrift stores etc, I just love love old, antique full-of -historic character stuff, my whole house is filled with second hand , antique decors , furnitures and I’m loving it, it’s so me. Thank you so much for showing us this video. It looks so fun
It's SO me too! I just love having old things around, learning about them, and thinking about everything they've seen! Now if we could just get them to talk ha! The stories they could tell! :)
@@EntertainingWithBeth
Or maybe we should be glad they keep their silence! Haha
Absolutely one of my most favourite videos
Oh my, how fun was that vlog !!! Thank you for sharing it with us ! You are doing such a wonderful job in the most charming house!! Love everything you've bought and put together.
Your house is as lovely as you are !
Cheers ☺
I so enjoy watching your life in France! Your home decorating skills are impressive so say the least. And the food is a way of life there & to be treated very seriously which you are! Makes me want to reread “A Year in Province” or “Province, 1970”!!!!!
Ha! Yes that's one of my favorite books. I reread it every few years and laugh harder each time. It's somehow funnier to me as the years wear on and I get to know the French culture better ha!
Love it! Thank you for all these lovely and entertaining videos! Always looking forward to the next one! You have a really good eye for design (:
Thank you soooo much! Most awaited video! This is great!
Entrance looks fab Beth! To me it’s great the way it is now… but would like to see how it looks of you wanna add something
I would never want to leave that place! Please do so many more videos… ❤️❤️
The mustard pot is gorgeous. Loved the flea market.
It looks so much fun at the market & what great finds, they all look so lovely in your beautiful home x x
I like your channel a lot 💜The umbrella stand is actually a coal carrying bucket. You fill it up, bring it in and hold up with the handle at the bottom part and pour the coal in the stove. My great grandmother had one of these. 😄💜
Oh my gosh!!! I love your purchases! This is so much fun! I want to see more!! 🥰🥰🥰
Lovely finds! I may be wrong, but the “umbrella stand” though, I think it originally was a pot commonly used to scoop and carry coal pieces from the deposit into the house. It is a beautiful piece and it’s genius to use it for umbrellas 👍🏻😍
the entrance looks so lovely! Glad you found exactly what you were looking for with Freddie
Just finished the video, LOVED IT! Enjoyed your finds, especially the cabinet and painting!
The entryway looks so pretty! I'm absolutely in love with the straw purse with the black graphic design too! You are so very fortunate to have a second home in France 😄
The house just keeps getting better and better. I love the entrance. You managed to get a warm and cozy feel without being too cluttered. Perfect! I see what you're saying about covering the electrics. My first thought was to build a box around it that matched the wooden bench and make it large enough to have a shelf or two inside for storage. But...then I thought yes, you're right...a curtain would soften the frame. Lol! Oh my goodness... you must be having a blast seeing everything come together so well. ♥♥♥
Aww thank you! I'm so glad you think so! Funny enough it's kinda all growing on me and the more I think about it, I'll probably just leave it as is! I can envision it driving everybody nuts having to pull the curtain back to open the door ha!
@@EntertainingWithBeth
I was going to say that it would make me crazy! Imagine coming in out of the rain on a blustery day, opening the door and having the curtain blow around, get wet and stick you while you try to wrestle it out of the way to close the door! And it would cause a heating/cooling problem as the thermostat would always read the temp as warmer. The thermostat would run the a/c too much in summer and not enough in winter, so you’d freeze all the time.
Beth you have done a fantastic job with the house everything looks amazing great job..it must be so exciting to see it all come together..all the hard work was worth it 👌 love from California. 💛
Love, love watching all your videos especially shopping at a flea market in France! Hopefully I get to do this soon!♥️
Another wonderful and inspiring video!! Oh Beth you are killing me with such beautiful content. That flea market was incredible, so many treasures. I absolutely love love love all your purchases and they all felt so at home in your place, they were the perfect additions!The entryway is on point; I wouldn't take or add a thing! You are a marvelous RUclipsr, incredible chef and superb decorator. More please!
You have done such a good job of decorating. Everything looks inviting.
First time seeing this. I love it. Her style is beautiful and she mixes and matches old and new and it create a lovely theme.I agree with another comment in that it’s a great idea to have ‘an umbrella stand’ which was a coal scuttle. It was filled with coal and the handles were used to empty the coal into the fire. Really enjoyed this☺️
Thank-You, this is so fun!
Would LOVE to go, and to buy!
Thanks so much for sharing this video of Your treasure-hunt; probably the closest I’ll get to experiencing this fantasy in RL!!!
What a wonderful adventure! I love the entry hall piece and the Louis Philippe mirror is perfect. You can never go wrong with that combination! I can see a little gold drapery rod, very simple, over that door with a sheer white drape that you can push off to the side. Of course you would have to put the rod further out from the door width so you could push it back away from the frame, but it would still camouflage those little devices at the side of the door. A pretty little rod and some simple rings would be tres chic! Thanks for taking us along! Can't wait to hear what Mr. Ruggiero thinks of your lovely home. The baskets are FABULOUS hanging there!!
Love what you’ve done to this home! Every little detail was perfect. I think your idea for the fabric near the door would like beautiful. I’m sure you’d find the perfect fabric for it. What a fabulous place to vacation😍
Thanks so much! 😊 So glad you enjoyed it! :)
Sooo excited to see it come together! So precious and charming and such a labour of love💛 I cant wait to stay there.😉 If finding hooks is a challenge I love to use vintage door knobs to hang tea towels or hats etc. The glass knobs are lovely or the hand painted ceramic ones. Anyway, I just adore your home and I love the idea of the ticking swag over the door.💛
I do enjoy with your vlogs. It's so dreamful & inspiring! 😉😍
I really love the dishes on the wall & the chair with stripes!!! 😍😍😍
Once again I love watching those videos you got beautiful taste😊
Thank you so much 🤗 I'm so glad you are enjoying them! :)
Hi Beth. Love the new look foyer. I personally would leave the door area of the wall as it is. I like how it frames the outside yard. Hanging something over or around the door might take away the simplicity and beauty of the door. Maybe a long, narrow painting over the baskets might bring the color your looking for. Thanks for sharing.
Yes I agree! I'm actually liking the simplicity of nothing over the door. I like the idea of the painting though over the baskets! Always room for one more French painting! 😂 LOL!
@@EntertainingWithBeth Yeah, go for it, i say 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yesss! I’m not going to need to make my own post! You said it perfectly!
@@EntertainingWithBeth Keep the French culture videos coming. You're quickly becoming my favorite RUclips channel. :)
Loving your french shopping and decorating.
I'm enjoying all of these French videos so much!!! I can't wait for part II of the tour. I've been showing my husband everything you've done because your style is just beautiful - and so practical! You are doing something we have dreamed of doing ourselves, and now I'm just taking notes from you.
Aww it's always so fun to dream, set a goal and then see it materialize! You can do it too! :)
So much fun! Everything looks great 👍and I wish I was there with you ❤
I love watching all your videos, everything you do looks so elegant amazing beautiful ❤️ I been in France Beautiful I love the market to. Injoy
