Today’s home tour (Rustic Elegant French Gustavian Cottage in Utah) is a beautiful custom new build in Utah with Old World French Gustavian style inside and out. It belongs to Desiree Ashworth of the lovely blog Decor de Provence, and these interior design shots were brilliantly styled by the talented Bonnie Broten for Country Home magazine in 2014.
Longtime readers of Hello Lovely may recall an interview I did with my friend Desiree in 2011 when we seemed to correspond daily through our inspiration blogs. In that story, you’ll be treated to peeks of her former chateau (also built by her father like this home). I miss the beautiful daily inspiration from my friend’s blog posts yet remain inspired by her tender heart, spirit of generosity, and devotion to the needs of her children.
You may remember her former French inspired kitchen with the gorgeous green subway tile (below) since it is one for the books:
I still want to live inside these photos!
She loves blue and green beachy flavored charming accents, and they bring so much balance and softness to the more rugged finishes elsewhere. Enjoy this tour of Desiree’s Rustic Elegant French Gustavian Cottage in Utah!

I can’t imagine the authenticity such a design element must add to the feel in person! 🙂
Oooh! I’ve seen many of these photos via Pinterest but never seemed to find the source. Thank you for telling us the owners of such a beautiful home. These photos were very inspiring for a home we’d hoped to buy. Though the purchase didn’t go through, the ideas still remain in my inspiration box…just in case 😉

What a dream to own something so thoughtfully constructed and authentically beautiful. Thanks for reading, friend. xox
I love this house, and I’ve been looking for something like this for a very long time! Just out of curiosity, do you know where I could find rustic lanterns like the ones shown. They are beautiful!

The lighting is this home is vintage so you could check importers of European lanterns (Chateaudomingue?). I have been known to age/customize new lanterns with paint…I found a couple contenders here: http://shrsl.com/1hwyl
Do you know where I could purchase the backsplash tile?

Hi Fawn. I believe it is a seaglass tile from Ann Sacks – here is something similar: https://rstyle.me/+9ZPhD5tqdfOPpWgiWNP1GQ
