Provance at home



Lavender and Sunflowers
by Hazel Baker


After reading the book, A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle,
I was inspired to create my own little Provence.




So this is my Provence.

We created this room by taking a small part of our two car garage.
The cabinets are from our kitchen remodel several years ago.
I have a long counter top that I use all the time. It's like a Butler's Pantry.
At one end is an office area.
The ceiling is painted a dark sky blue, walls are sunflower yellow and the trim is off-white.
All the colors of Provence!


View from our kitchen, door to the garage.

  1. Oh what fun, Christine! I really enjoy that book -- have you see the movie series of it? It's great.

    And what a great way to bring a little south of France to your own part of the world.

    I love that colour combo of yellow and blue... have lots of it around my own home. Probably because of Provence too.

    Happy Weekend, B

  3. Christine, that room looks so very cheerful! I love things that make you smile just to see them. Which would add the way you sign your initials! The heart just seems to match you.

  4. Christine,
    What a fun and useful room! Does it have a name... Provence perhaps? Your room is so neat and organized! Love the cheery yellow!

  6. That yellow is just beautiful! If you get a chance, visit my blog... we are in much need of prayer for my sis and her dear family who lost their 5 1/2 month old baby boy.
