  1. Wow Lory…..this is great and inspiring! I’ve been working on updating my site with “shop my homes” but nothing this grand could I ever accomplish!

    1. Haha, thanks Janet! Now you know why I’ve been in a virtual cave for the last few weeks – between this and the move. Hope to be freed up next week to get on a normal schedule… 🙂 I, too, need to add the shop my home to my home tour section. That’s next.

  2. Thanks for all the great links and help.
    Now if I can just find where I can get a couple of sweet little 12″-18″ olive topiaries!

  3. Lory, this is fabulous and will save countless hours of searching! Thank you so much!
    Deb, you can find olive topiaries at World Market online.

  4. Also, Deb, I purchased a couple last year from Wayfair that I like, but might no longer be available. Good luck!

    1. Thank you, thank you, Kathy!! I’m glad it’s appreciated because I’ve spent a long time building it… 🙂 I keep catching errors, so please let me know if you find any broken links or anything. And yes, I definitely added in some modern glam, a bit of farmhouse or just classic decor. Based on today’s stats, it looks like people are enjoying indeed! Thanks for spreading the word too!!

    Lory, I’ve been following Designthusiasm for quite a while. Your take on Modern French Country, which I love, just drew me in from the get go. I’ve saved so very many of your posts over time and have always appreciated your info on where to find the same or similar products. Needless to say, I love this idea of “Shopping your Home…Shopping your Favorites” Design Store because I so agree with your overall home decor design aesthetic…charming. lovely, yet sophisticated. I also save all of your beautiful, imaginative tablescapes. I’ve begun collecting dinnerware, et al to be able to create thoughtful, pretty tablescapes for entertaining friends, family, and just to enhance our day-to-day for me and my husband whenever possible.

    1. I can’t thank you enough for such a lovely comment, Patrica!! It’s so nice to know that my work resonates with other people… 🙂 How wonderful it is to have like minded people reading along and enjoying my various projects. Thanks for taking the time to tell me!!
