Rustic Elegant French Gustavian Cottage in Utah

Longtime readers of Hello Lovely may recall an interview I did with the lovely Desiree in 2011 at a time we corresponded daily through our inspiration blogs. Back then, the kitchen in her home looked like this:

It was a gorgeous chateau (built by her father as this home was). What a beautiful flow of daily French country inspiration my friend’s blog posts brought us before Pinterest was born! She is now busy with lovely new ventures and still inspiring with a keen eye, beautiful designs, tender heart, and devotion to faith, family and friends.

You may remember that French country kitchen with its gorgeous green subway tile that broke the internet (below):

I still want to live inside those Country French magazine photos!

Country French Architectural Beauty in Utah

This was the next project for Desiree. Can you even get over the stone exterior and magnificent architecture?

Let’s see more of Desiree’s Rustic Elegant French Gustavian Cottage in Utah!

She favors blue and green coastal-flavored charming accents, and they bring balance and softness to the more rugged finishes inside and out.

Rustic French Country Bedroom Design

As opposed to a contrived, French country decorated home, it’s a unique mix of collected treasures old and new.

Far more interesting than what we normally see for a new build.

Unique Blue-Gray Custom Stained Trim

Isn’t the trim detail amazing? It’s so different to see all the wood stained this blue-grey custom color.

Such an Old World look in a newly built home.

Country French & Gustavian Style Living Room

The reclaimed wood on the ceilings adds considerable character, age, and texture.

The combination of rustic with refined is a favorite.
