Vintage Inspiration # 106 Cedar Hill Ranch

Hi Everyone, time for some Vintage Inspiration

Do you remember this wonderful Ironing Board Buffet that was all over blogland this Spring? It was one of the photos from Anita's fab-u-lous, "Wildflower Party at the Ranch". 

And speaking of "ranches" here it is, Anita's wonderful Ranch Home, "deep in the heart of Texas". Surrounded by acres of pasture, and glorious bluebonnets and Spring wildflowers, this girl knows how to bring some French flair to the Prairie. Anita calls it "Texas living with a French Accent".

A lot of their family time and entertaining are out here on her amazing and spacious country front porch.

Anita has quite the ability to create wonderful spaces that make you want to relax and enjoy the breathtaking views. Sewing and styling this heavenly daybed, you'd have a hard time making me leave, Anita!

Who wouldn't want to just live out here?

More linens, that she has created herself,

 this time in the Master Bedroom.

And here is her latest sewing project; Anita slipcovered all her living room furniture, in this wonderful yummy French linen. Then used antique grain sacks as complimentary cushions...perfect!

You'll want to see the "befores" here.

and just take a peek at this flirty ottoman,

 don't you love the ruffle?

Now, if I only looked this good from behind!

If you don't know Anita, she's a sweetheart
 and one of the 4 Talented Texas Gals
behind the link party "Cowgirl Up".
Run by and say Hi, then put your feet up on that great porch!

Here's more great inspiration from last week!

Rhonda created a wonderful vignette atop her open bookcase
with this Cotton Pickin' Basket for Fall 

from My Blue Creek Home

Mary Alice from Chateau-Chic,
 scored a wonderful French Washstand from the flea.
I love how she has it "dressed up".

Sherry shared her potato casserole from
Depression Era Cooking at the Charm of Home

Melissa has her Foyer decked out for Fall
 from Daisy Mae Belle
(LOVE this old metal gate!!)

Mary from Where the Boat Is,

 has decorated her Potting Shed for Fall 

with a wonderful nesting theme.

And you'll love seeing all the adorably fashionable
"Hercrows" from
Dru at Country Farmhouse

Hope you'll join in today for the party.

"Through the French Door" and Give Away Winners...

I've been looking forward to the release of Carolyn Westbrook's new book, Through the French Door, since I heard she was working on it. If you have one of Carolyn's other beautiful books, then you know what I mean. Her first book, Carolyn Westbrook Home has been a "go-to" source of inspiration for me since I found it, and her second book The French Inspired Home, ignited a real love for French influences to be incorporated into my own home decor.

Here are a few photos from her latest book that was just released last week from CICO Publishers. So you lucky gals that have won this book from my Anniversary Give Away earlier this summer, I'll be getting it in the mail to you later this week.

If you'd like to purchase any of Carolyn's wonderful design books, I have a direct link to Amazon on my sidebar. If you're like me and love a French inspired decor you'll want to have your own copy to enjoy.

And now for the winners of my 

Vintage Inspiration 2 Year Give Away, 

the winners are Cindy from Beaux R'eves,

 and Laura from Cottage and Broome.

 Congratulations gals, just email me your mailing addresses!

Thank you, 

to all you great people that come by each week to join the party,

love you bunches!
