New Again
Every time we get around to our annual spring cleaning — complete with moving each and every piece of furniture to make sure the floor, walls and practically everything in between is spic and span — we start lusting for new pieces to brighten everything up. We know we’re not alone, which is why we couldn’t resist sharing this easy, affordable makeover that could bring a little spring back into your bedroom’s step.
All it took for this room to be transformed was replacing the outdated bedside tables with antiqued versions from Pottery Barn, hanging some romantic curtains, and brightening the room with a few fresh flowers and some Ikea table lamps! It’s simple yet dramatic, and the small changes packed a triumphant punch!

Where Are You Wearing?
We all love that single, revel-filled moment when, in the middle of a get-together, all eyes direct themselves upon you and someone asks, “Who is that you’re wearing?” And as much fun as it is to tell a little story about how you found the designer scarf/shoes/jacket/earrings while strolling down a little street in Paris/New York/Milan/your neighborhood, wouldn’t it be entertaining — and admittedly out of the box — to answer where you’re wearing, rather than who you’re wearing? “Oh this? It’s a piece of my living room.” We’d like to try it someday and share the experience, but for now, we’ll just share a couple of inspiring living spaces — and of course, articles of clothing to match. ~ Chelle

It's A Wrap!
They say never judge a book by its cover, but every lady knows that the sentiment is pure nonsense: presentation is everything! And just like we make sure every strand of our coif is perfect, every inch of our pout is glossed and every seam of our gown is pressed before we make an appearance, we should also be sure that every gift we present is given an equally show-stopping outer appeal. With “La French Wrap” — our new line of elegant, readymade gift wrap — you’ll have time to perfect your pout and still give a gift in style! (Hint, they will work superbly for any Mother’s Day gift you so choose to give!)
The “La French Wrap” line consists of two sizes of black and blush pink fabric-covered boxes that come with high end black crinkle paper and coordinating black and blush pink striped and blush colored tissue paper, as well as a crystal rhinestone Crown pin that can be removed for one to wear. And, the black satin ribbon bow is attached to the lid! For pricing and to order, be sure to visit “French Charmed” boutique. For those of you who are more inclined to toil over the packaging yourself, check out these other gorgeous gift wrap ideas!
How can one go wrong with this stylish blush pink and brown gift wrap ensemble? Its sweet and polished presentation will work wonders no matter the occasion, and you can buy a package that includes everything you need to re-create the look at “A Gift Wrapped Life”.
Here at “French Charmed,” we’re very big on repurposing antiques. That’s why this package, wrapped with simple white paper and adorned with a vintage house number and glitter-coated chipboard letter, caught our eye. Credit: Design*Sponge.com

Sometimes, the very best ideas are right in front of us, as in the case of this “duh, why didn’t we think of that?” gift packaging. We all have wrapping paper and ribbon in our homes, so let’s get cracking darlings! Credit: MarthaStewart.com
Happy wrapping fellow bloggers! ~ Chelle
