French Country Style Elegance
The French Country style feel is easily obtainable with the right home or kitchen accessories. Getting the look right need not cost a fortune and you don't need an interior designer. All it takes is little changes like the odd stencilling on walls, coordinating tablecloths and crockery all in the colours you choose.
To get some ideas of how you want your room to look without actually going to France you could look at some of the images on Google by searching for ‘French Country style' and remember to click images at the top to just show pictures.
Your walls can be cheaply painted using the colours associated with Provencale and France. Colours include bright sunny yellow, soft gold, firey red, burnt rust, bright grass green and dark hunter green, cobalt blue and soft ocean sea tones.
If you live in an old cottage with rough plastered walls and beamed ceilings , the French Country style will be even easier to obtain. A stone fireplace will really set off a living room or kitchen. With accessories such as copper pots, iron accessories and antique furniture, with a bit of imagination you can easily transform your rooms. Furniture needn't cost a fortune. Using old furniture either from your home or obtained in second hand shops can look amazing with a touch of hand painting and stencilling with aged paint.
Kitchens can be easily transformed into this French look and feel by simply replacing the accessories. Look around your kitchen and see what you can change. Some accessories that will really give you this look are things like French tablecloths, French kitchen blackboards, storage tins with French prints, iron egg holders, clocks and nearly every type of dishware and crockery. Getting the lighting right will really enhance the look. Overhead lighting as well as spot lighting in working areas is the way to go.
Window dressing can have a serious impact on the French look in your home. Using fabrics in right authentic French colours and styles will work wonders. Stay away from modern contemporary fabrics and stick to fabrics which give off a cosy, warm and rustic feel. Fabrics which are either solid or printed with intense colours such as blue, green, red and yellow will look great. A combination of yellow and gold paired with red green or blue traditional prints will really set the look up. Don't forget checks and strips as well as the bright floral prints.
To buy French authentic kitchen accessories you don't have to visit France. There are many online shops where you can buy all the accessories you want at a very reasonably price. Try searching in Google for ‘French Home Accessories' or ‘French country style accessories'.
French silk or dried flowers are an essential look to your French country room. Also wicker baskets, dented tins and watering cans make great window boxes or storage containers.
Details like matching your furniture with decorative accessories will help you pull off a great new French country style home décor look that you will want to show off. So get creative, then get those invites out and get entertaining and don't forget a couple of good bottles of vintage red! Très bien!

French Mediterranean Diet Does Not Exist
Women in North America developed an intellect that goes counter to a so-called French mediterranean diet. They conceive "The Diet" as something they hear family and friends talk about, they read about in magazines, they listen to in the radio, and they watch it on TV. It is presented to women as a scientific marvel of the highest order. They purchase it in book format along with a poster to pin to the wall to blindly follow a structure like this...
Monday & Tuesday eat foods 23T and 78-M -- Wednesday & Thursday eat foods 3, 22, and 99 Type 3XW -- Friday & Saturday fervently socialize and drink 3 gallons of water -- Sunday pee a lot.
Should a woman in North American miss a meal, she must deal with anxiety for failure to lose pounds; and depression for not feeling attractive.
In a planet ten galaxies away...
Recorded since mid-1500s, the so-called French Mediterranean Diet was originated on the French mediterranean coast. Lengthy and healthy lives those people had then ~and still enjoy today~ are overwhelming evidence of their concepts of food. In late XX century, scientists corroborated that it is sensible meals and health-enhancing practices that French folks integrate early in life are the ones responsible for overwhelming benefits.
This article is meant to change your health only if you can decipher if the French Mediterranean Diet is what French buy printed in a book, OR if it is the Lifestyle Of The Slim & Wiser.
* French Mediterranean Diet - Foods People Eat *
* They eat locally grown and seasonal foods. No canned foods.
* They eat lean meat such as fish and poultry as opposed to red meat.
* They eat legumes, vegetables, and raw nuts as a snack at any time.
* They eat crunchy and freshly-baked bread. They may spread Extra Virgin Olive Oil on it and sprinkle Herbs de Provence which they prepared in the morning.
* They use Extra Virgin Olive Oil in their salads, but use regular Olive Oil [the less costly one] to cook food that will be immersed in it. Butter, margarine, or fat are NEVER used for frying food.
* They eat sauces and other foods such as their delicious croissants and pastries which may be regarded as fattening, but they do so in moderation and savoring their superb taste and flavors.
* They drink water ~or a reasonable amount of red wine such as 6 ounces~ with each meal [except breakfast] as opposed to sodas. An aperitif or Cognac may be served before or after a meal to be consumed in moderation.
* French Mediterranean Diet - Cooking Practices *
* Meals are cooked every day, and eaten immediately after. No left-overs.
* Ingredients are as fresh as possible, and have been minimally processed.
* Vegetables are not boiled in water, but steamed avoiding over-cooking.
* French Mediterranean Diet - Lifestyle & Habits *
* They eat three or four meals a day: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and small meal between lunch and dinner if desired.
* They do not start eating until the person that cooked or served the meal is sitting at the table. To do otherwise denotes disrespect, and lack of good manners.
* Lunch and Dinner consist of five or six bites. Often, they are followed by cheese and crunchy bread accompanied by some matching-to-the-cheese wine.
* They sit at a table; they eat in company of people they feel comfortable with enjoying affection; they savor each bite of the meal; they take time to eat. Rushing is inconceivable.
* They do not feel guilt when they eat.
* They walk and have physical activities daily. No running. No gym.
* French Mediterranean Diet - What not to *
* Do not eat red meat by itself.
* Do not eat too much red meat regularly.
* Do not eat too much fast food or any heavily processed food.
* Do not drink soft drinks often, or do not drink them at all.
* Do not sign up a gym contract. A physically-active lifestyle is better.
You now decide if the French Mediterranean Diet is something that French people buy printed in a book, OR if it is a lifestyle of the Slim & Wiser.

Three Colors: Blue, White, Red (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] $38.12 Even though one can view each segment of Krzysztof Kieslowski's Three Colors trilogy on its own, it seems absurd to do so; why buy the slacks instead of the entire suit? Created by Kieslowski and his writing partner Krzysztof Piesiewicz for France's bicentennial, the titles--and the themes of the films--come from the three colors of the French flag representing liberty, equality, and fraternity.
