A Casual Chic French Christmas Tour

Happy Monday to you! Today is a special post as this is my first holiday tour of the season! I’m joining six other amazing bloggers to bring you a French Christmas Tour, hosted by my friend Lory of Designthusiasm. Many of the bloggers I’m joining today are people I was reading before I even started a blog. They are immensely talented, with gorgeous photography and styling, so be sure to scroll to the bottom and visit all of their posts!

If you are landing here after visiting one of the other blogs, thank you so much for stopping by! I’m Sheila and I’ve been blogging here at Maison de Cinq for a little over two years. Here I share my love of design, my decorating adventures, as well as entertaining and lifestyle posts. I consider my style “casual chic” but underlying much of what I love, and how I decorate, is inspired by France.

The French style I’m partial to is not the fancy, dressy version, but rather a pared-down version of French Country. I decorate in mostly neutrals, with a pretty clean and simple aesthetic. And my Christmas decor is in much the same style. I don’t really do red in my Christmas decor, instead focusing on greens, creams, and whites, with metallics added for some sparkle. So welcome to my home and my version of a French Christmas Tour…..

 

A Casual Chic French Christmas Tour

These candleholders I recently chalk painted and could not be happier with the new color! It’s actually only the second time I’ve used chalk paint and I have to say, I’m hooked!

    Hi,
    I’m visiting from the Style Showcase 6. I LOVE your rooms all decked out for Christmas! I’ve saved many of your photos for inspiration for Christmas 2018…. I plan ahead. 🙂

    I too very much enjoy French design (lots of white/off-white in our house too). And what house would be a home without a beloved dog. 😀 We have 3 happy mutts. 🙂

      Hi Connie, and thank you so much for popping over and taking the time to comment! I love meeting readers, and of course, fellow Francophiles:) Good for you for planning ahead – I do the same! In fact, I’ve already got a different palette in mind for next year;)

      Happy Holidays to you, and thank you so much for your lovely comment!

    I love everything about your home! Could you please tell me the color of paint on the living room and dining room and kitchen walls?

      Hi Patti, and thank you so much for your lovely comment! All my walls are painted with Benjamin Moore. The living and dining rooms are Muslin and the kitchen is slightly different, it is Monroe Bisque. I’m actually painting the kitchen walls soon, haha! The Monroe Bisque looks a little yellow and I’m thinking I’d like everything the same.

      Anyway, hope that helps you! And thank you again for such kind words, and for reading! So appreciated!

    Sheila, if you were to go into my dreams and create the perfect home for Christmas, yours would be straight out of my dreams. I LOVE EVERY SINGLE DETAIL!

    I have been trying to wrap my head around my style – it’s changed so much – and you just nailed it perfectly. I love your style – and am now your newest follower.

    Well done – your home is a stunning beauty and your decorating skills are awesome and inspiring!

    Will you please come to Ohio and help me? LOL.

    Have a lovely weekend.

      Wow, Michele, your comment has truly made my day! What a wonderful thing to wake up to:)

      I do know what you mean about “finding your style” though, as it can be hard to do – it even was for me. But I’m sure you’ll figure out what’s right for you and I’m just glad to be able to help inspire you in even the smallest way!

      Thanks again for stopping by and for following along, I’m so glad to have you here!

      Happy Holidays to you!

      Sheila

    Sheila, your house looks stunning decked out for the holidays. I love those cute stockings! The mercury glass ornaments in the dough bowl are fun – I am sure at night the light catches them! I also love your French urn with fresh greenery! Oh and of course those little bottle brush trees, I have some similar ones!

    My heart did a little pit a pat when I saw the little bottle trees on the silver tray. You did an amazing job of decorating. It is so sublte and classy. The urn with the greenery…so nice. Great job

      Right?! I totally agree with you! I love my vintage and antique items, but when I can’t find things that I need or want, Home Goods usually fits the bill!

      And thank you for your sweet comment – I so appreciate it Kim!
