A SPECIAL THANK YOU AND DINING ROOM HEAVEN


A special thank you to Vicki Archer of French Essence for the wonderful scented parfum and the lovely card that I was lucky enough to win on her new French Essence giveaway. She is truly the kindest and most generous person.

If you haven't visited Vicki's blog or ONLINE SHOP you are missing so much.  Her books are absolutely stunning, and after reading and enjoying the beautiful images in French Essence and My French Life, I felt like I had known Vicki for years.

Vicki had no idea that I adore the smell of gardenias when she sent a bottle of Annick Goutal's Gardenia Passion Eau de Parfum. I was so surprised and it is my favorite, and I have received kind comments about the lovely scent.  THANK YOU VICKI!
***
The dining rooms here are those I have chosen over the last couple of weeks to share with you.  ENJOY!

    These are beautiful dining rooms! Love the dark navy walls, patterned rug and saddle leather chairs , but still my favorites are the belgian linen neutral rooms with accents of blue and white porcelains or some other minimal accent color..Have a great day Teresa!

    You know I really love those simple white cosmos in that stately dining room. Opposites attract!

    Oh my word! Don't you just love Vicki Archer! Her blog is wonderful and she is so sweet as well! These dining rooms are incredible! In fact, I wish I'd seen the one with the chinoiserie armoires in it for my blog post today! All of them are beautiful, though! Have a great Monday!

    Hi Teresa - Congrats on your lovely win! I will check out French Essence. Beautiful dining rooms. The first one, especially. It must be like eating outside with that tall wall of glass windows.

    Congrats on your win.. I wish someone would give a new dinning room away. These are beautiful and I would love to completely redo mine.

    Lucky you! Enjoy it. :) And, any dining room with chairs that have nailhead trim pulls me right in - lovely! I have to figure out a way to add it to my existing chairs, since they aren't going anywhere anytime soon (says the husband :)).

    These are absolutely Splendid Teresa! I love the French ones & the more modern one with the camel leather chairs!
