DIY Home Decor: French Flair

French style decorating has been popular for years, and like other country styles, it is a time tested theme. Updated french style is clean, vintage, and has a fantastic mix of comfortable and high style. Did I mention, it’s romantic decorating at it’s best?  A little Paris, anyone? Enough going on, we all know we love a good burlap DIY project as much as we love a good croissant. DIY home decor, with French flair!
