Pretty Peeling Paint and Beautiful Buildings

France is full of beautiful buildings and one thing that makes them stand out is their gorgeously coloured shutters, bricks and shapes.

I adore snapping the beauty of the towns and the simple things such as roof tops and shutters!

Someone tell me I am not the only one to be found snapping such simple every day objects!

Beautiful France

The area of L'Aisne in France is beautiful, still mostly unspoilt the houses are traditional and full of character and beauty.

Here are just a few of the local and beautiful features, my favourite are the shutter holders which all have faces on them.

Nothing more quite says French than peeling paint on shutters, to me the peeling paint has more character and is more visually stunning than the perfect ones!

Beautiful Hydrangeas and so many vegetable and fruit patches in all of the gardens, the weather is ideal here.

This house had roses and tomatoes growing up the side of it, every piece of space is utilised to make the most of the sunshine.

We walked up to the local church and saw so many beautiful houses, the church itself although not old had the most beautiful sounding bells that rang at 7pm.

My house is nearly a home!

So after nearly five years of living in our house we can nearly call it a home, last weekend I decorated my sons new bedroom.

He loves it, as do I. Me and my husband have finally claimed the lounge back instead of it being full of his toys.

Today I am hoping to sort out my daughters room, poor thing is nearly nine months and still doesn't have a bedroom. I remember having my sons nursery all set up and looking pretty before he was born, adjusting and readjusting everything until the day he arrived.

I have this gorgeous set I won from Peanut and Pip on Red Ted Art's blog months ago waiting to go up on the wall and am itching to put it in pride of place, it also means I can get on and order some fabric for her curtains with some extra to send to Knot Just Jigs to make into something scrummy.

My poor old neck is begging me not to paint but I am really eager to get it all sorted and finally have a homely home.
