What do antique finds and beautiful rugs have in common?
You’ll find them both in the charming home of Mary Alice at Chateau Chic.
Mary Alice’s decor has an understated elegance that’s quite appealing.
Mary Alice has a flair for mixing pretty patterns like you see here in the family room.
She also has a knack for choosing beautiful rugs, which you’ll see throughout her home.
I love her choice of subtle colors. Everything just blends so well.
From the family room, you can see into the pretty white kitchen.
Victorian style molding and a stained glass window enhance the view.
Pretty Victorian molding also graces the window above the sink in the kitchen.
And oh those bread boards!! I would love to have them all.
A charming rug with little houses provides soft comfort underfoot while cooking.
Mary Alice’s dining room always takes my breath away.
Another gorgeous rug anchors her dining table and French style chairs.
Pretty floral arrangements lend a feminine touch in the room.
Mary Alice’s charming home has so many interesting details,
like the dental molding near the ceiling and architectural trim below the chair rail.
She has multiple mantels in her home as well. And did you notice the chandelier?
Out on the screened porch, Mary Alice has created an inviting retreat.
A variety of vintage finds intermingle with worn wood pieces.
The wire baskets and pink shutters on the window add a bit of charming whimsy.
Flowered retro tumblers add fun color that matches the pillow in the background.
Everything is beautifully combined to make appealing vignettes!
The upstairs hall wears beautiful wood floors and pretty wallpaper.
Mary Alice has artfully arranged vintage bottles on the little farmhouse table.
It’s these attention to details that make a house a home.
A beautiful antique bed takes center stage in the guest room.
I love the soft color combination in this room.
Finally, a peek into Mary Alice’s master bedroom complete with a beautiful rug.
More soft colors and pretty patterns adorn the bed in the form of pillows and a throw.
I hope you enjoy Mary Alice’s charming home as much as I do.
Be sure to pay her a visit at Chateau Chic for more loveliness and inspiration!

August 24, 2014 at 6:25 pmMary Alice has a very charming home, Jennifer! I love the area rugs she has used throughout her home. I think I was more excited about our putting in hardwood floors because I would get to choose a few area rugs to use over them. : ) Love her kitchen and her screened porch is a favorite.

You havé created a post of wonderment here with the tour of our Mary Alice.
I adore her home for so many romantic reasons, and yes her mix of French country is the best nothing in a room has to compete for attention, it’s so perfectly placed where each piece stands out and has there own voice.
I adore her porch, can you imagine walking up to her porch to take a closer look and then To get invited in. It’s as if her home is a country fFrench Inn.
Thank you for feta touring her home, it gave us all a chance to see each room as if we are her personal guest…Mary Alice’s home is so inviting it, invites all to fall in love with it.
See you soon,
I also hope to see you visit me and my French home.
