Meet Kelli, the Designer

Welcome to French Blue Decor--I'm so glad you found my shop!

Over the years, I've been blessed to live in France and Belgium and to travel frequently through Europe. While my husband was exploring the blue French skies at test pilot training in Provence, I was exploring ancient villages and charming markets, learning so much about the lives and artistry of the local inhabitants.

I love discovering the deep beauty in ordinary lives, searching sales from the elaborate antique markets of Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and Waterloo to the occasional boot sale in the small field passed on a narrow English road. I've found items with beautiful patinas, ancient textures, and lovely scents. Things with timeless design, surprising character, and unique functionality. If only they could talk!

Still, the best part of the hunt is always the people. They tell stories and smile (and negotiate). I have thoroughly enjoyed the privilege of meeting so many interesting people. The objects I find and share with you often have memories and stories, and I hope they bring you as much pleasure as they have brought me while I have searched them out.
