My Mom's Farmhouse Kitchen

I'm excited to give you a tour of my Mom's farmhouse kitchen

and share some of her styling tips.

Her kitchen is so light and airy.

It is completely open from her family room making it inviting

and perfect for entertaining.

Tip:  Add fresh plants for a pop of color and life.

Tip:  By mindful of the view from your kitchen into other rooms.

This is a look into her laundry room.  

Tip:  Display the items you regularly use.

For example:  bread boards, wooden spoons, wooden scrub brushes

It adds to the charm and functionality of your kitchen.

A French Blue

We love a nice French shade of blue.  

My handbag can be found here and it's color ac-blue.

The functionality for this handbag is just what I need so I'm ordering the brown for fall.

Below is our signature La Vie Parisienne bracelet in ice blue.  

They created this bracelet just for us years ago and we are honored to carry it.

It is one of my most-worn bracelets.

My favorite feature of this handbag are the four outside pockets.

I use the front pocket for my phone, the back pocket for my keys, 

and the side pockets for my sunglasses and Built Bar.  They are the perfect size. 

See a video inside my handbag on Instagram at madeleinelamour.

Dinnertime and storing leftovers

Dinnertime has grown to be my favorite time of the day.  

It's a time when everything can slow down and we can connect as families.

Pad Thai Night!

Click here for the recipe I used for my Pad Thai.  I love this recipe!   

I was unable to find the sprouted beans at my local grocery store, but it was fine without them.

Click here for a good Thai green bean side dish. 

I should have made mango sticky rice for dessert, but you can never go wrong with a Snickerdoodle. 

 Let me know if you try the recipe.  Tag us on Instagram at madeleinelamour.

We were recently re-stocked in our best-selling tea towels!

Easter Ideas

Without changing a lot in our home, but just by adding a few spring touches 

here and there, it brings the season to life!

I love using vintage baskets and mixing stripes with florals.

I have been collecting things a few weeks now for my boys' Easter baskets.  

They are looking to purchase a place of their own in the upcoming year and 

I have started gifting them home essentials that they won't want to buy

as they only like to buy bike-related items.  haha

If you are filling a girl's Easter basket I love Lollia's Breathe.  

It has the most beautiful packaging and is our best-selling fragrance for spring/summer.

Also comes in a mini size.  $12.

On Instagram I shared a local blogger's cute Easter ideas.  

Find us on Instagram at madeleinelamour.  Click here for affordable paper biodegradable egg cartons

that you can get in time for Easter!  They would also be cute filled with flowers

for Mother's Day if you have some left over.

Thanks for visiting!
