Fall In Old Town




Hello Again From The French Hen's Nest,



 Hope that you are enjoying this beautiful Fall weather.....a lot of rain lately, but that's alright, we need it.  This is the perfect time of year to walk around Old Town Alexandria, one of my favorite places.  So much to see if you're a lover of nature and decorating.  No matter how many times I go, there is always something new to see, and it changes beautifully with the seasons.   I was looking for a few homes that were decorated for Fall, and I found some that I'm going to share with you.  Love the pumpkins in the transom window.   Hope that you enjoy the walk.

Very simple and elegant






It's still so warm that the flowers are lasting


One of my favorite homes in Old Town, isn't it decorated beautifully?


 This should be on the front of a magazine
Isn't this lovely, again simple and elegant





This is between the house above and the one below

Love the colors, they certainly say "Fall"


Pyracantha


I wouldn't have done this, but I'm loving the red on red




  Hope that you've enjoyed a little of Old Town, there is so much more to see.    And hope that maybe you got a few decorating ideas, I always do.

Till Nest Time,

Jeannie

More Pretties From La Bella Luce



Hello Again From the French Hen's Nest,

  Just a few more pictures from La Bella Luce (the beautiful light), in Historic Clifton, Va.  I've included a couple of photos of the main street in Clifton, and a couple of houses, just a small example of the old homes in the middle of Clifton.  And also a view from the front of the shop.
   To the right is a beautiful French bed, and notice the wall hanging above the bed, the middle looks like a decoration from the back of an old chair.  Right?  

   Hope that you enjoy the photos.










A little French reading in your French bed


Pretty ruffled linens




Who wouldn't love this chandelier in their bedroom?


Beautiful white baby gowns



Isn't this the cutest lamp?


A closer look



Another beautiful chandelier

A look down the street...
Another look






Nothing prettier than an old home with charm

Till Nest Time,
Jeannie
