What a fun surprise to see designer Desiree Ashworth (Decor de Provence) posting on her gorgeous inspiration blog once again! We go way back as blog friends, and I’m inspired by her curation and keen artful eye whether she is designing a chateau, a cottage, or a Provence inspired mood for her readers. Although it’s a new build, her European inspired Utah home reads authentically Old World and is easily My Favorite Rustic French Cottage!

Aren’t they unique!?! They are reclaimed wood!
When I returned from abroad, my intent was to decorate my new home in French Country but the style of my home dictated otherwise. I lived with my old furniture taken out of storage for two/three years before buying for this house. It told me traditional with a modern twist and that is what I strived to accomplish. I like the feel of my home. It makes me happy to come home. It’s Serene and Safe. But, French decor still makes my heart beat a little faster. Who knows, there might be another home in my future that will whisper…
Thank you for sharing this lovely home that could be in France, not America.

Isn’t it tempting to think about the next home and a new style direction when you’re a creative dynamo? We probably need to follow Amy’s lead (Maison Decor) and start decorating dollhouses to get our fix! Thanks for reading, friend!
This is probably my favorite design on pintrest. What color did you use on the wall?
Thank you

Pretty sure the walls are plaster – so no paint. For ideas for white paint, see this: https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/2021/04/what-is-the-best-white-paint-for-your-walls.html
What kind of wood floors does Desiree have in this beautiful home?

Great question! It doesn’t appear to have a lot of knots, and one would imagine white oak. You might be able to get an answer by messaging her on IG. Not sure she still owns this home as she built an English style cottage for her latest project. 🙂
