We interrupt our series to bring you France 2013! September 21 thru 29th Join Sylvia, of the UK, and myself as we journey south to the rural region known as the Dordogne. This is the land of dizzying heights to the majestic river Dordogne that wends it way through charming villages The land of Chateaux, gastronomic France, and medieval France with sumptuous markets........everywhere! Within this land are ancient caves perfect for aging cheese, abundant bakeries, mushrooms, and ground zero for truffles We will explore many gardens, both public and private. On this leg of the journey a delightful local and friend Victoria, will join our group, sharing the local haunts, best cafe's, markets, shopping, antiquing...... she will also share her otherworldly gardens and home. After four nights in the Dordogne it is onto Paris for an additional three nights. A city like no other, a soul enriching walking city. Visit a sidewalk cafe, museums, cathedrals, famous department stores, markets, people watching..........it's endless! And did I mention ample time for shopping? The iconic brands we adore, the charming finds we discover at a tiny boutique tucked down a side street....... Last year, for me, it was shoes, coming home with 5 pairs i adore, most found at street markets for a song. And least of which is the antiquing throughout our travels as we attend open air markets, brocante's, antique shops of great charm and the ever fun Clingacourt market in Paris! Being a boutique tour, we are limited to 12 for first come first serve. to read the Itinerary, click here. Merci beaucoup! xo Debra
A special thanks to Wayfair for sponsoring today's post. When Chris and I started dreaming of what our patio was going to look like, we knew that we didn't want to do a traditional paver patio. I searched on Pinterest, and never really found a patio design I liked. I found our large pavers and knew that I wanted to put the marble chips in between them. To us, we thought of it as a European-inspired garden and went from there! Chris came up with the idea to add porch swings, and I was completely sold! That's when my friends at Wayfair come in. We had a vision, and to make our vision come to life, we started searching for porch swings, lighting, and more! Wayfair always has great quality items at an affordable price, too. I was able to find our Zain Hardwood Porch Swings and I am obsessed with them. They look even better in person and they come with everything you need to properly and securely hang them. The stain is a beautiful color and goes with our European-inspired theme to tie in natural-looking elements. Along with the porch swings, we purchased Outdoor Blub String Lights to give us some ambient lighting under the deck. It creates the prettiest atmosphere after dark, and these lights stretched and hung under our 10'X10' deck perfectly. We hung them with small hooks into the wood beams. We have them on a timer so that they come on from dusk to dawn every day. We also got darling Pathway Lights to put throughout our garden beds. I just love the look of lighting throughout a garden, and these lights are solar-powered, so they don't need a battery or electricity. They also come on at the same time as our string lights, which is perfect! I love, love all of the plants and flowers that we have planted in the ground, but I wanted a couple of other plants throughout the space. I found this cement-looking Self-Watering Hanging Planter and I love the natural elements it brings to the space as well. I ended up putting a hanging plant directly into it, and it's the perfect fit! Want to DIY your own patio?!

We added a screened-in porch and are so in love it! I am soooo late on sharing the process of our newly built patio but I guess it's better late than never! It's so much easier and faster to share everything in real-time over on my Instagram. But I always try to document as much
Close your eyes for a moment and envision your idea of the perfect backyard. What would it include?
The oak porches add character and a warm welcome to the new homes on this exclusive development in Wiltshire. Each one is slightly different.
Check out our portfolio of covered porches and look through our past work to see what you like. Think about how your space will be used and who will be using it and about what would be best if you plan on selling your house in the future.
