24 - A Week of Simple Pleasures – Painting, Baking & Bringing Spring Indoors

Step into a beautifully slow week in the French countryside, where simple pleasures take center stage. This week, I painted our new chicken coop—practicality meets charm. I wandered through the woods, watching spring unfold in delicate blossoms and sun-dappled paths. Back home, I spent time in the summer lounge, adding thoughtful touches like a vintage "lampe tempête" from a brocante and woven baskets to bring effortless elegance to the space. And in the kitchen, a batch of zesty oat biscuits filled the house with the scent of citrus and warm spices. These small, quiet moments—painting, decorating, baking, walking—capture the essence of slow, intentional living. Join me as I savor the beauty of everyday life in the countryside. ☕️ If you wish to show you support, you can buy me a coffee :) : https://buymeacoffee.com/frenchcountr...
