Decorating is a art it’s never finished

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Absolutely! I’ve always said, “my home is my canvas.” I like your profile photo K! ❤️

[@jag2002]

Love this room so much ❤ brebi is super adorable. That mirror is amazing. I'm marathoning your videos, but going from newest to old.

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Thank you for enjoying the channel. 💌 Where are you writing from?

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Oh I love everything about this video Jeni! The beginning was so scenic, it was so nice to see Justin and how he starts his day. And then the beautiful entrance / hall, I just love your house so much, and your esthetic and bubbly character. And Brebis... just adorable! Thanks for sharing!

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Hello Marloes! Thank you for this wonderful message! 💕

[@Sueanne88]

I like your music selections.

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Oh I appreciate this mention so much!!!! I really have our music choices mean something deep for us. I spend a lot of time trying to find a song with lyrical meaning.

[@almawebber]

You are a delight Jeni!

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Oh thank you!

[@k.crosbie261]

Great video- love the refresh

[@davidjohnston9356]

Decorating is definitely a process that takes many years. You always do it so well. Appreciate you, too. Happy Spätsommer.

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Thank you! You too!

[@juanita6116]

I love your vlogs. It’s so peaceful and the decor is just right.

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Thank you so much!

[@flamingofan5411]

Beautiful! I’m in love with your floors! The sofa is perfect! Such a precious pup! 💕

[@jillphillips3227]

Lovely refresh and one that will hopefully let the rock walls breathe! So sweet to see BiBi just up and say hello. twice! Seeing Justin's morning routine was good and the beautiful sheep and cows so captures the essence of living in the country! Always a joy! Headed to the Loire in 2 weeks to start renovations on my lavender barn! Cheers!

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Are you sharing the progress on any any social media platforms? 💕

[@jillphillips3227]

@@Frenchcountryfriends Yes, I'll be sharing progress on my fb page, Loire Lavender Barn, and my contractor has a youtube channel and he'll be sharing the progress on his channel! All be debut soon after closing on October 4!

[@LindaThorpe-v2h]

Love the huge mirror

[@alittlebitfrench2022]

I adore your home. I loved seeing the refresh entrance!!

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Nice to see you hear! 💕

[@clarefrenette9357]

I think the squares would add a lovely interest in the entry way. I think it would be beautiful along with a big rosette on the ceiling. Thanks for sharing

[@wildpeace]

I love this simplicity you’ve created in this space. I think the square panelling would completely change the aesthetic and make it too formal.

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

I think most of us agree. 💕

[@colettenel1301]

Absolutely beautiful Jeni and Justin, et Brebis! 😊well done! There is nothing you do I would ever want to change.thank you for sharing the process 🩶🤎

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Our pleasure! Thank you for your support. 💕

[@frenchfarmhouseflair]

I loved seeing the sheep 🐑 and the cows. Your refresh in the entryway looks great!!🤍 BiBi is so cute!🐾

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Much appreciated! Happy Autumn in France!

[@Em_Chester_]

13:44 Brebi! So happy! I wish you loved plants. A plant in the back on the amazing pedestal would be Devine. Only decorate season themes with natural items. Autumn= Leaves Nuts. Spring =Flowers. Summer =Shells. We don’t really have Winter here so non event. Just remember Jen southern hemisphere viewers are opposite to you. It’s nice when northern hemisphere people acknowledge us too down here. I have cushion envy.

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

I do love plants but they hate me. I can’t even grow micro greens. It’s strange! 😂😂😂 I think Justin should try it. His Mom is an excellent gardener. Happy Spring to you soon! ❤️

[@RubyTuesdaysVintageHome]

The hallway is looking lovely and welcoming and yes i too am guilty of far too much faffing 😅 A plant on the pedestal would look just lovely and a couple more plants but its so pretty and thanks for sharing ❤

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Hello like minded Faffer. It’s a form of artistic expression! 💕 Thanks for the tips!

[@RubyTuesdaysVintageHome]

@@Frenchcountryfriends i am always getting told off for it 😂

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

@@RubyTuesdaysVintageHomeoh I was too, it me years to convince Justin that is was normal for me. 😂

[@lizspurgeon9933]

Love your style, and your gorgeous puppy❤

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Thank you so much!!☺️

I have just discovered your channel and immediately subscribed. What class you've got. Throughly enjoyed your video. Thankyou ❤

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Welcome to our part of the world. 💕 Thank you for your support here.

[@rhondadean5455]

Love Justin highlighted. we don't see enough of him or the puppy. Hi Jenny. Love seeing what you are up to.pretty pretty things.

[@kateforsyth1133]

It’s beautiful and useful. You will enjoy that space.

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

I think so too! We never did, it was just a space to pass by…

[@akikomonroe4746]

A fern would look beautiful on the pedestal

[@helenp81]

Aww another lovely video, and Brebis is growing in confidence in every video 🥰 can’t wait for your next one x

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Thank you!! 😊

[@raqueloyola365]

Hermoso video!!!! Me acompañaron, los tres, esos tiernos 19 minutos .... La deco me parece fabulosa!!!!! Un abrazo y beso grande desde Córdoba, Argentina!!!!! Me gustaría tenerlos como vecinos, cariños a los tres!!!!!

Thank you so much!!!!!! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@florak2099]

No squares! Looks beautiful as is. 💕

[@marcicaporizzo]

Sorry to miss this video….i just love your decorating style and presentation. I wear hearing aids and there was too much echoing so I couldn’t understand what you were saying but I’ll wait for next video…keep them coming!👍👍

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Thank you for letting us know. I wish I was clearer for you. 💗💗💗💗Yes the room gave off quite the echo. I’ve use closed captioning in the past when I had trouble or when I don’t understand the language, has this worked for you?

[@dianepaulin5324]

Beginning with Justin's morning routine, also adds a lovely personal touch to your new approach in your video's. Cannot imagine the time involved in putting these videos together. The simplicity of your decorating style is fresh and calming. Too much in adding more detail would interfere with your style norm, I would think. Lol, I also "faff" way too much! You have great style! You both are such hard workers. Thank you for another wonderful video ❤

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Hello fellow faffer! Thank you for appreciating the editing involved in our videos. This warms our hearts Diane. 💕🐶

[@deborahmay8256]

Thank you for making beautiful vlogs, always so relaxing 😊

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Glad you like them! We appreciate reading this.

[@trudiegordon6327]

It needed a big mirror. Settee looks more loved.

[@VirginiaMurauskas]

I’m inclined to go with the paneling/squares. The floor in the entry hall, your choice of sofa, the gold colored curtain rod and your intention to use a large rosette already elevates the hall and home beyond that of a simple farm house. Your intention of finding and using a pedestal table also signals a more grand entry. I assume you’ll be adding a simple yet large vessel of some type for flowers, etc. I enjoy your vlog, have purchased from your Etsy store and am looking forward to seeing how the entry hall evolves. You have excellent taste and I have faith that whatever you choose to do will be beautiful.

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Great advice! Perhaps we then leave out the paneling for a nice balance. ⚖️ Thank you for your recent purchase! Enjoy your cozy mugs soon. 💗

[@VirginiaMurauskas]

The clay cups/mugs arrived today in perfect condition. They are lovely and useful. Thank you!

[@xavierguilmard1909]

Hello: you are right ,the squares would not be suitable if you want to keep the spirit of this kind of house...I live in your area and I have been in many houses like yours...Everything you have already done for this house is so nice ! thanks for your videos !

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Thanks for sharing! I think we agree.

[@davidmiller-br4bu]

The hallway looks lovely, warm and inviting. Panelling might look quite nice if you keep it the same colour … would it add depth? Have a great weekend all three of you 😊

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Great idea!

[@caroletownson1525]

The wood rail is more authentic - any wood than a brass one.

[@LisaJohnson-sd5rk]

Just came across your channel, looking forward to following it. FYI Gros Bisous isn’t pronounced “gross” more like “grow”. Learning another language is difficult ;-)

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Thank you for joining our channel. ❤️ Yes you are right! I get too excitable most times and forgot my grammatical skills! 😂

[@darquisekrysciak8732]

🥰🇨🇦

[@LindaThorpe-v2h]

Panelling would look nice.

[@LenaMMcKee]

I agree I don't think the squares are suitable for the home

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

I think we agree too! 💕 Keeping a balance is key.

[@Francis-kw9ui]

Need more lighting

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

The four hands on the walls are lighting. I’ll show them in an upcoming video. 💕

[@trudiegordon6327]

It is a country home and panelling is too grand and not the aesthetic for a country home. Old grandfather clock or French country clock would look lovely in that room and old tables filled with branches and leaves and a rustic rug. Maybe an old central table

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Thank you for your feedback! 💗💕
