Pretty sure we will be seeing Marie’s house all over blogland and in magazines. She has done an awesome job!
I love taking house “tours.” Thanks for sharing!!

The little blue cottage is divine! Love it!

Not sure how I feel about the turquoise exterior of the house, but I LOVE the interior. As a huge fan of all things black and white and toile, she’s won my heart! The kitchen is wonderful…shows what a creative and artistic mind can create.
Love all that turquoise! Thanks for the post. I hopped over to her blog and can hardly wait to read through her entire blog! LOVED all those stained glass windows on the wall…and LOVED that shower curtain!
Hi Julia – Wow! Thanks so much for featuring mon petite maison on your blog…what an honor! I was wondering why all of a sudden I got so many comments (which is unusual). I really appreciate your link. The other homes are so spectacular!

Hi Julia,
I’m not sure if you know this, but the blog listed below is stealing a lot of your content. Entire posts…verbatim.
Thanks, Nikki! I removed the link to their site because I don’t want to send them any traffic. You’re right–looks like they’re regularly stealing my stuff (and then sticking their copyright notice on it, ironically enough). Thanks for letting me know! -Julia
I’m surprised that the mansion only has 3 1/2 baths and 5 bedrooms, when it’s 9,000 square feet. You think it would have more. Other then that, I love all three homes in their own ways.
The cottage is my favorite, for sure

love the cottage!

My goodness! I am gaga over the second French home. I don’t typically like the French style but this one is divine. The kitchen is amazing! I also just did a “house tours” post a couple days ago except it’s on fabulous mansions. I think we have fairly similar tastes in decorating. Stop by for a look and a chat if you get the chance!

The Tiffany house is fabulous! I love the cottage garden landscaping as well.

Wow, they are both so beautiful! Tiffany blue is perfection, isn’t it? Thanks for sharing these!

Another site has posted your content as their own…word for word. I was reading the post for yesterday at http://www.fromtherightbank.com (another beautiful site) and noticed that she (Ally) had been having the same problem with thai-decor stealing her content. It appears they have stopped copying her content, and moved on to yours. Just a note…
Thanks, Regina! -Julia
Julia… Thank you so much for linking to my blog! I’ve really let my blog take a back seat the last few months because of a hectic personal life, but just recently decided to be more regular with it again. Your link is just the shot in the arm I needed! Thank you!!!! Hope your summer is going well!

P.S… I was reading the comments and it trips me out that other bloggers are stealing content verbatim from other bloggers. Unbelieveable!

Hi Julia hope you are doing well – what would I do without your blog. you never fail to cheer me up and I’m sure all of the above agree with me so thanks for sharing – love all the houses but the cottage I love more…. the colour the garden everything is beautiful… Regards Esther from cold Sydney (at night I just want to sit on top of the heater) I’ve been told our winter is like Californian winter but without the humidity.
Such a cute cottage – thanx for sharing !
