Vintage Inspiration #89 French Laundry

Time to be inspired the vintage way...

I'm continuing to showcase some of you out there that come by and link up each week. Thank you all for taking the time to be here and to share your vintage treasures and ideas. Today I'm spotlighting  Judy Kent and her blog, French Laundry.

Each time I see that Judy has a new post I'm excited. She is a collector of all things lovely with a French flair. Judy lives in Colorado with her husband and three boys and is a microbiologist at her day job, but in her "spare time" she seeks out the beauty in French artifacts, treasures, and wonderful rare collectibles. "Live your dream, but keep it real." is her motto, and I think she is doing just that...in the most romantic and beautiful way.

I've featured Judy several times both at Vintage Inspiration and Monday Marketplace. She shares the most amazing items, all virtually one of a kind.

Be sure and visit French Laundry at Elegant Farmhouse on Etsy.

Her photos are in themselves works of art.

Below is a photo of her collection of vintage and antique lace. 

Look how cleverly she has it displayed.

And for more inspiration, after you visit Judy's beautiful blog be sure and

Thank you, Judy for the inspiration,
 and always being such a sweet friend!

And now for some extra inspiration from last week.

Meet Collette, Anita's slipcovered settee from Cedar Hill Ranch.
She gives us a wonderful step by step tutorial, I'm in love...
(and while you're there be sure 
and see her current post on her handmade bed linens!)

Marty at A Stroll Thru Life shares some great GW finds

in toile, ticking and muslin, for her guest room bedding.

Does the sight of chippy metal and old painted furniture
 get you hyperventilating?
You can't go wrong with the Curious Boys.
I'm lovin' this pink Eastlake bed!

And Miss Kopy Kat designed and deorated tables for a friend's daughter's wedding, using wonderful bits of vintage glam. She also gave a tutorial for making the gorgeous table runners.

Hope you'll link up
