Hi I guess I’m late in discoverying you but I absolutely love the French country style and you do it SO well. I love your use of copper in the kitchen. I have very little but am now planning to display it! I have a question: Would you be willing to share the brand name of the countertop in your kitchen and the color name? It looks like such a lovely, soft gray. Thanks, Karen
Hello, I love your style. if I sent you a picture of my dining room, could you give me advice on what I need to pull it all together? thanks so much. Madeleine
Hello Cindy, love how your kitchen turned out. I am over this evening getting some inspiration for our next home as we are looking at older homes, some newer but really we’d like something with character. I was over looking for a French maiden bust you have (or had) by French sculptor/artist Grinam Niam. (saw a Pinterest photo of yours and copied to my post, if that is alright with you? I was looking to link back to your post.)
I am writing a post about my maiden, which turns out is a copy from Mexico. I never noticed that until tonight when I was really looking at the back of her body. Made me laugh! I will keep loving her just the same, Lol!!! No wonder I found her in a thriftshop and purchased her for the whopping sum of $3.85. 🙂
Anyway, always love coming over and being inspired…
Happy New Year to you,
Barb 🙂
Thank you, Barb! Your bust sounds lovely, and what a great price! Even made in Mexico, she gives you the look you want….I love those finds! Happy New Year!
Hello, I came across your website ,actually, through another persons site featuring a holiday tour. I was stopped in my tracks when I saw your foyer piece with the hydrangea Christmas tree ….i loved it and had to look . I’m hooked now. I am an interior designer but have not worked for in almost a decade now. I had lifestyle shops for about 10 years prior to that 10 years in a mountain lake town in Georgia and then in Rosemary Beach…we are from Savannah. Anyway, you have me excited about delving into all your photos and ideas. My homes have always been French country with a slight Provençal flair but as mentioned I too have headed into a tad of the farmhouse influence as well. Isn’t it fun? Sorry, so long winded , after reading your story it touched me and rang a few bells of similarity to my own life. I would love to be put on your list to join when you have a moment. If I need to do anything just contact me through the email I left please …thanks so much! I’m off to browse your lovely home.
I absolutely love your Renovations that you have done to your home elegant but comfortable at the same time I am in the process of redoing my living room struggling with a rug size the room is 14 by 20 very long but narrow I’m thinking a 9 by 12 area rug…
What size is in your living room just beautiful
Hi Cindy. I have a question but first let me say that your home is beautiful! Looking through all of your photos brings so much inspiration.
Now for the question. In your family room I noticed the pair of putto candle sconces on the wall and I was quite surprised and excited!! I also have one like yours that I picked up a few years ago at an antique shop in Atlanta and I know absolutely nothing about them. They look old but I’ve always assumed that mine is reproduction but I’m curious to know from when. The man I bought it from said he thought it came out of a church in New Orleans but I figured that may have just made for a good story 😉 Until seeing yours I’ve never seen another. Can you tell me anything about them?
Hi Kim! I bought the cherub sconces about 7 years ago from a shop in Alabama. They are reproductions, not antique. Since that time, I’ve searched for a manufacturer but I’ve been unable to find it, since there are no markings on them, and the shop that I purchased them from, is no longer in business. I wish I could be more help as I would like more info as well!
Well you’ve surprised me again because I live in Alabama! I’m in Tuscaloosa so if you say you found yours here then that will just be too crazy 🙂 Mine have no markings either. I can’t imagine them being mass produced and us not being able to find others or find info on them. Maybe one day!!
Hello, Cindy! Like so many others, I stumbled across your gorgeous home renovation through Pinterest about a year ago and was in awe of your talents and tastes. We are doing a kitchen renovation, too, and want to use the wood planked ceiling idea you used but there’s a problem 🙁 When I came to your blog this morning, ready to follow the wood plank link and order the EverTrue planks from Lowes, I discovered that the link is broken and it would appear that Lowes no longer carries this product :*( Im searching online for another vendor but not finding it. Im praying it has not been discontinued! Can you shed any light or make any other suggestion for where to buy this or a similar product? Im trying not to panic about this but the entire design of the kitchen and living room reno in my home was based on this type of ceiling…..Ugh! P.S. You are so talented and I LOVE this blog!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the inspiration!!
Thanks, so much, Cindy, for the quick reply and for the new plank suggestion. One more question, at $19.98 for a 6pk of 8′ boards, is this roughly the same price point? I neglected to note the price when I first found the EverTrue but we based our budget on whatever that price was before Lowes stopped carrying the EverTrue. Once again, I am truly in awe of your vision and talents. I hope my project comes out so well 🙂
Cindysays
Pennie, I believe the EverTrue planks were around $11-$12 per 6 pack, so they were less expensive. But these newer boards may be better wood than the EverTrue.

Cindy I have just found your website through French country cottage blog. I have followed Courtney for a while. What fun to find you too! I love your style it’s beautiful! My husband and I used to live in Edinburgh but have bought a country Croft out near the coast. A far cry from our modern apartment in the city. We are adjusting to country life and although I am a school teacher interiors is my passion. I found your site yesterday after what was a day of ‘oh my god what have we done taking on this big project of bringing this 1860 Croft back to life’ I found you at the right time as realised come on Trish you can do this!!! I woke up this morning with enthusiasm and gusto and as so many of your readers say you really are an inspiration to many. Sharing your ideas advice and beautiful pictures. Thank you for the inspiration and it’s been a real positive day here at the Croft. My head is brimming with ideas!!!
You absolutely can do it, Trish! I’ve tackled renovation projects that I didn’t think I could do and it is possible! I’ve found that there isn’t much you can’t do with the right tools and a youtube video!! Your home sounds amazing! Thank you so much for following along!
Wow! Such nice ideas! I was looking for some ideas to make a unique stylish bedroom. Your surprising ideas has made it easy. Thanks for such great job!
Love your ceiling idea ,. I have a home from 1902 and the ceiling is pretty much done ,. So I am 100% using your plank ceiling idea ,,. thank you so much
I love the transformation of the fireplace and hope to something similar to ours. Did you paint the mortar as well? It appears darker than the brick and really pops. It makes for a VERY clean look. Thanks!
Hi Linda! We painted the mortar in the same color as the brick. I think it looks dark because it’s recessed a little bit which creates a bit of a shadow. Thanks for commenting!
Hi, can you tell me what color you used on the brick and mortar? It’s beautiful.
Cindysays
Hi Lory, the paint color on the brick and mortar is Sherwin Williams Pavestone.
Rosemarysays
Hi Cindy,
Just came upon your site through Pinterest. Fabulous!! Your home is beautiful! Also, after reading some of your responses to various inquiries you seem so generous with your wealth of information. I have a French style 72″ buffet and a dining room table that I want to update by painting both pieces. Can you tell me about your dining table and the gray/white trimmed hutch. Were they professionally done? If not, can you share what colors you used and your process for painting them. I love DIY projects but have yet to tackle chalk paint projects. Thank you for your time.
Rosemary
Thank you Rosemary! The dining table was painted in two coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in color Old White. I lightly distressed it with a sanding sponge and then gave it one coat of clear wall. The hutch is painted in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in French Linen (two coats), and the trim is painted in ASCP Old White, lightly distressed and clear waxed. Chalk paint is very easy to use so don’t be afraid to try it!
Hi Cindy, I really appreciate your response. Thank you! Can you tell me what clear wall is and did you use a wax on the table as well?
Rosemary
Cindysays
Hi Rosemary! I always use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint clear wax, and I use the clear wax on all of the painted furniture that I do, including the dining table. After the last coat of paint is dry, I cover the entire piece with a coat of clear wax. I use a soft cloth {like an old t-shirt} and gently “massage” the wax into the wood. Then I let it cure for a minimum of 24 hours. Once cured, I take a clean soft cloth and buff the entire piece to a soft sheen. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Elizabeth Rodericksays
I’ve never known anyone to give out the information you share about your projects. That is so kind and gracious of you. Blessings!
I have just finished planking my kitchen ceiling with inspiration from you! I would like to know how you applied the white wash stain brush or rag did you wipe it off right away? I to did not stain before I put it up because I was not sure of the finish I wanted, so a little hesitant abt how to put it on, Please let me know how you applied it. Thanks so much for your help and inspiration and DIY ness!! Haha Jackie Goodman
Cindysays
Hi Jackie! I applied the pickling stain with a brush. I worked a section at a time, brushed on a coat of stain, and then immediately wiped it back with cloth. I didn’t want lots of white, more of a pickled look, seeing the wood through it, so I wiped the stain back immediately after applying it. If you want a bit more white, then let it sit just a bit longer before you wipe it back. If you have some extra wood left over, you can experiment with it to see what you like the best…..hope this helps!
halleluia! I have stumbled upon you!!! YOU are an inspiration to us all..do it your selfers(me)…junkers(me)..am always searching and looking for that elusive french piece.your home is beautiful and a guide to all of us! I find that I cannot seem to tear myself away from your pins and site!
Ijust love you and yours!!
Plank pickled ceiling beautiful! What type of tongue / groove wood did y use for the planking? In process of remodeling have cathedral LR ceilings, would like to do the same. Thank you, in advance
Thank you Jenny! No, I didn’t fill in the nail holes. Using the nail gun, it counter sinks the nails into the wood, and they are so tiny that you can’t see them when standing on the floor, so I didn’t bother with filling them!
Hi Cindy have been a fan for sometime now and love everything about your home.I have seen your DIY about the ceiling but do not recall how you finished them. They look like a white wash please share the paint that was used. Thank you!
Thank you Cindy, did you white wash it before you installed or after?
Cindysays
Jeannie, I whitewashed after it was installed, only because I wasn’t sure of the finish I wanted. The best way would be to whitewash before you install.
Good morning and Happy Valentine’s Day Cindy! Thank you for you quick response.I am going to try to paint my hutch in those colors hopefully will look as beautiful as yours?
Hi Cindy I absolutely love your home! It is exquisitely lovely! Did you painted the beautiful blue buffet near the breakfast room? It is the color I have in mind to paint a french hutch I have
Thank you so much Brigida! Yes, I painted the blue buffet, using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. I layered several colors, starting with Aubusson Blue, and then Provence, Duck Egg, and Paris Gray.
Lovely! Designs after my own heart. Love all the changes you have done, and how consistent you have stayed to the French country design. I am wondering how you completed the seam between the wood floor and the brick circular floor under the breakfast table. Also, was tiling the back-splash and moving the switch boxes on the wall forward (so switch plates fit over the tiles) a difficult task? Thanks for sharing.It gives me such an inspiration.
For the seam where the wood joins the brick, we filled in with cement grout. Hubby moved all the switch boxes forward so they would be flush with the plate, and it wasn’t difficult at all.
Hi – What color did you use to antique your cabinets – I saw on pinterest it say the valspar antiquing glaze – we are halfway through our cabinets – painted them SW antique white and wanted the glaze but we had trouble finding the right one – found the Valspar and we are trying that with our contractor today – fingers crossed :\
Love, love, your beautiful kitchen and home….found you yesterday, and subscribed…that planked ceiling has me itching to copy it( but too old to do it ourselves) Wow…colors and design , just yummy..looking forward to the finished bedroom. Thank you for sharing such inspiration!
Your home is truly lovely and it is the feel & style I am slowly trying to incorporate into my own home. Could you please tell me where you have purchased the sisal area rug, it adds such great texture to the space?
Thank you for graciously sharing your sources of your furnishings and paint colors! I stumbled across your site and love your taste/style. I have you bookmarked now! Lovely!

Cindy – I am new to your site (thank you, Pinterest!). Your home is lovely and so welcoming. Perhaps you have answered this previously, but can you tell me something about your white slipcovered sofas in your family room.
where can I purchase this French style barell chair with the writing on it in the photo above
The chairs are antique. They are upholstered in French script fabric from Ballard Designs.
I just love your cabinetry with the wire grates in them! Could you tell me where you purchased the material from I’d like to use that for my project.
Hi Penny! We purchased the wire grates at Lowe’s!
Absolutely amazing! Just found you and I can’t leave! So very beautiful! You two are quite the team! Just breath taking lovely!
Hi I guess I’m late in discoverying you but I absolutely love the French country style and you do it SO well. I love your use of copper in the kitchen.

Hi Karen! The countertops are Carrara Marble. We purchased the slabs from a local stone company.
Thanks for getting back to me! Love your site!
Do you have an actual store location? Love your style!
We have an online shop at https://www.etsy.com/shop/edithandevelyn. We also have a booth in a wonderful antique shop, Antiques at The Loop, in Mobile, AL!
Hello, I love your style. if I sent you a picture of my dining room, could you give me advice on what I need to pull it all together? thanks so much. Madeleine
Absolutely! Email: Cindy@edithandevelynvintage.com
I love your style!
Thank you so much, Yolie!!
Hi Cindy. I’ve been searching all over but I cannot find your master bathroom renovation. I could’ve sworn I saw it before. Am I mistaken?
Thanks!
Hi Ann! Here’s the link: https://wp.me/p5Xug9-yb
Thanks. I love that post and I’ve looked at it many times, but I really wondered about the master bathroom.
Your house is stunning!! That bed is my dream bed, where did you find it?
We bought the bed many years ago from a small furniture company in Mobile, AL. Unfortunately it is no longer in business.
Hello Cindy, love how your kitchen turned out.

Where did you get the kitchen island ? If you made it can I get the plans?
Hi Lisa! The island was original to the house. We just painted it, added marble, and built a table extension on one end.
Hi, I love your renovation . I wonder where did you get the sofa set? I love it.
Our sofa and loveseat are from IKEA!

Thank you Bree! The white cabinets are painted in Sherwin Williams Snowbound, the gray cabinets are painted in Sherwin Williams Pussywillow.
Love the wood flooring! Would you share the name and manufacturer?
Thanks Gwen! The wood floors are wide plank, hand scraped oak floors. We purchased these floors from a local manufacturer, Versailles Hardwoods.
We love this ceiling !!! Have hated our popcorn ceiling for years so this is our new project
