French Cottage Home Tour – Share the Love Series: The Quick Journey Blog

I’m continuing my Share the Love Series this week with a French Cottage home tour from another dear friend – Liz from The Quick Journey Blog!

Welcome friends! You can watch the YouTube video linked above to get a glimpse of the elegance and charm of Liz’s modern French country house tour!

There are so many reasons why I love Liz, and I can’t wait to share her French Cottage home with you. Just like Sarah’s home that I shared last week, Liz’s style is different from my own home. 

As I mentioned above, she refers to her home as “French Cottage”, and while I don’t know a lot about French country cottage style and design, I can still appreciate so many of the features and elements that she uses in her French country decor. 

But before I share photos of her home, let me start off by saying that one of the main reasons why I love Liz is because of the person that she is. 

When I think about the beauty and creativity of homemaking, Liz is one of the first friends that comes to mind. She is intentional in the way that she lives and serves her family, from cleaning to cooking to homeschooling and more. 

Liz is always sharing yummy recipes with nourishing food for her family, and if I could use one word describe her Instagram account, it would be “cozy”. She is a delight, and so much fun to follow on social media!

You just have to head over and and take a closer look for yourself!

Her whole house is an eclectic mix of both modern lines and vintage elements, which I love. But one of my favorite rooms in her home is probably her kitchen!

I just love the way she styles her beautiful kitchen shelves with both decorative and everyday items. I have been so much more intentional lately about using the things that I keep out on my counters or kitchen shelves, and not just filling them with items that only serve as decor. 

Liz does such a great job with this and she’s such an inspiration to me! 

One of my favorite things about Liz is the way she incorporates vintage artwork throughout the rest of the house. This is another goal of mine this year – I just love vintage art and I’ve always struggled to find ways to use it in my home decor. 

The artwork that Liz decorates with looks both effortless and purposeful at the same time, and gives her entire home a more custom look.

Her living room space is such a cozy room; I love her mixture of clean lines and antique pieces. The layered look of soft textures and pillows makes the entire space so inviting. I can picture myself in total comfort on the sofa with Liz, enjoying a cup of coffee and chatting about all things home!

Liz does a great job of incorporating beautiful, darker wood pieces as well. Sometime it’s tempting to paint everything and anything I find second hand, but more and more I have been drawn to natural wooden elements in my home. The look of dark and light woods together goes so well in this lovely space.

I love the dark hutch Liz has next to her fireplace and the way she has styled it with vintage treasures. 

She also has two dark yet beautiful nightstands in her bedroom that are lovely as well! 

I also enjoy the way Liz decorates her children’s bedrooms! Bright, airy and cheerful – these fun spaces are a wonderful mixture of whimsy and vintage!

Isn’t Liz’s home lovely? I hope you’ll head over to her blog and get to know her more. She is such a special friend and encouragement to me. Her love for the Lord is so evident and she’s a beautiful example of a wife and mother. 

This past week I was given such a special gift – not one, not two, but THREE snow days. My husband was home for three days straight. We were able to finish all the trim along the baseboards, paint, clean, and put the house back together. 

I even organized all of my homeschool materials and all of my kitchen cabinets!! It was SUCH a blessing that God knew I needed after a crazy month (we refinished our floors in January). 

I have a few more things to figure out decor wise, but I’m so excited to share our home with you now that the floors have been done. Stay tuned sweet friends.

I hope you enjoyed this French Cottage home tour featuring my sweet friend Liz, from the Quick Journey Blog. I would love to read your thoughts in the comments!
