Welcome!  I'm so glad you're here, lovely reader. I'm Jamie and this little area of the web is where I share my love (okay absolute obsession) with French Vintage decor and DIY projects. My love of French Vintage decor has always been something I loved since I was young.  I have taken my two loves (vintage items and French decor) and combined them to make it something that is truly me.  As a … read more

These girls. I miss them already. We support, uplift, inspire and cheer each other on. These girls have the biggest hearts and beautiful souls. Blogging would not be the same without them. It's been 5 years going to @havenconf in Atlanta and the best part is seeing these gorgeous faces every year. Safe travels! Aaron and I are here for another day then off to Tennessee! I'm about to go to the massive #restorationhardware here in Atlanta so be sure to check out my Insta stories.
I'm currently in Atlanta for the @havenconf! This is my 5th year here and every year I make the trek from Vancouver to Atlanta to meet up with my girls and learn new stuff. This year my boyfriend came with me and he's taking classes so we can divide and conquer. Watch my Insta stories for the updates!
(Swipe right to see the before photo!) This 80s bathroom was something else. I did something I don't normally do, I picked a modern faucet and a modern light fixture. Those mixed with French items like the gold mirror and soap dish and gold framed silhouettes, prove you can mix style and metals and it's still a classic look. See the full reveal on my blog (click the link in my profile). https://somuchbetterwithage.com/2017/07/black-white-french-powder-room-bathroom-makeover/
In between projects for the book, I cleaned and staged my house for a photo shoot for a magazine! Out came empty bins so I could put all the projects and extra stuff lying around for the shoot. This is one of the dining room shots that I just love! #frenchcountrystyle #frenchcountry #neutraldecor #frenchcountrydecor #Frenchstyle #countryfrench #frenchvintagehome #frenchvintagedecor #frenchdecor #frenchvintage #frenchvintagestyle #shabbychic #modernfarmhouse #farmhousestyle #farmhousedecor #fixerupperstyle #rusticdecor #rusticstyle #gagaforgreenery #playwithpetals #inspiredbypetals #foliagefridayfreshorfaux #botanicalpickmeup #myownhomestyle
I love my new French bread board from @elsie_green. Obsessed really. Ever since I couldn't find one brocante shopping last year in France so I finally bought one. @heatherbullard gave us gifts from @elsie_green last year too at #theacademyfrance. Such amazing treasures from France. Do you have a favorite kitchen that's pretty yet practical? #gagaforgreenery #freshorfauxfoilagefridays #frenchcountrystyle #frenchcountry #neutraldecor #frenchcountrydecor #Frenchstyle #countryfrench #frenchvintagehome #frenchvintagedecor #frenchdecor #frenchvintage #frenchvintagestyle #shabbychic #modernfarmhouse #farmhousestyle #farmhousedecor #fixerupperstyle #rusticdecor #rusticstyle #frenchbreadboard #frenchantiques
Saint-Emilion is so hilly that some of the outdoor tables in restaurants are literally on the side of a hill. This is THE most town in all of France. 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷Check out the post on my blog. https://somuchbetterwithage.com/2017/07/picnic-lunch-saint-emilion-france/ #frenchcountry #frenchcountryside #saintemilion
I am knee deep in book projects over here! It feels awful not to share these with you yet! But the book will def be worth it. It will be published next spring. Such a long process. I'm doing a project with lavender so I'm cutting outside. Did you know you can keep the stems and throw them on a fire for a scented fire? So many great things to do with lavender. Now it's back to more painting and floral arranging https://somuchbetterwithage.com/2017/06/lavender-outdoor-summer-table-setting/ #frenchcountrystyle #frenchcountry #neutraldecor #frenchcountrydecor #Frenchstyle #countryfrench #frenchvintagehome #frenchvintagedecor #frenchdecor #frenchvintage #frenchvintagestyle #shabbychic #modernfarmhouse #farmhousestyle #farmhousedecor #fixerupperstyle #rusticdecor #rusticstyle
It's time to share more France photos. The post I'm sharing today are photos from our picnic in Saint-Emilion last year. This place is like a Fairytale and one of UNESCO's world heritage sites.

Do you see the clips holding the shutters back? Yes that's a replica of a person's bust! Everything about French design is exquisite. I'm just editing more France photos for a post tomorrow so be sure to pop back. Do you like the little details like me?
These painted patio stripes are still holding up nicely! I can't believe that the light grey is still light grey! Lol. We've been enjoying many dinners here lately as the weather has been so nice. How are you summer nights treating you? To see how to paint these stripes on a concrete patio slab, click the link in my profile. https://somuchbetterwithage.com/2017/05/how-to-paint-stripes-like-an-outdoor-rug-on-patio-concrete-slab/ #frenchcountrystyle #frenchcountry #neutraldecor #frenchcountrydecor #Frenchstyle #countryfrench #frenchvintagehome #frenchvintagedecor #frenchdecor #frenchvintage #frenchvintagestyle #shabbychic #modernfarmhouse #farmhousestyle #farmhousedecor #fixerupperstyle #rusticdecor #rusticstyle #paintedconcrete #outdoordecorating #gagaforgreenery #foliagefridayfreshorfaux
