Raw wood, antique and reclaimed. Simplicity in weather worn products. Around the world with ethnic origins.  The beauty in natural materials. 

Simple French - Farmhouse Style

French country style, with the simplicity of white chalky plastered walls,

 simple, raw wood furniture and pale limestone floors.

Raw, Natural materials

Rustic ladder back chairs, raw bleached wood tables 

and terracotta smooth - worn tiles

In England we would call this simple essential design - Shaker style. 

The Shakers believed that every object in the home should have a function 

and that decoration was unnecessary. 

Scrubbed floors and table tops for basic essential living using natural materials.

Raw and understated

I am loving the simplicity of this uncluttered French farm house style
