Francophile or Patriot?

Traditional Home
Or both? Don't you just love the combination of statue of liberty and eiffel tower statuettes on this mantel? I know I do. And then the addition of what looks like an Abraham Lincoln bust is fantastic. This mantel and its medallions is so traditional, especially coupled with the historic blue color, but the photograph above it and the slate surround give it that hit of modernity. What do you think? Are you a francophile?

  6. My husband is part French and I blame all his faults on that....being French of course, means he has very few! HA HA!
    I keep le tour Eiffel on the kitchen window sill to remind me of a fabulous anniversary trip to Paris!
    Love your blog!
