You don’t need more, you need meaningful.™

Hi, I’m Chloe. I live on a cattle ranch in a town of 99 with my goats, dog, chickens, horses, husband, and cows. I used to live in the city, but I gave it all up for a life in the country.

I write about country living with a modern twist. I hope to inspire you to simplify your life and appreciate each and every moment.

Thanks so much for stopping by, let’s stay in touch!

Luxury in simplicity.™

The Month of May Recap // Sourcing, scouting, and The Month of May Recap // Sourcing, scouting, and antiquing my way across Europe starting in Amsterdam, over to the UK, on to Florence, then to Provence & Paris.

Along the way making countless new friends and cherishing the wide-eyed feeling of many firsts. Yet still feeling blissful over things like a long cappuccino, Picasso, and morning markets.

So grateful for the opportunity to see and take in the history, art, and architecture {oh and the food!}. I mentioned that I have been so inspired yet feel quite ignorant and have signed up for art history classes. It’s been such fun to dig deeper into the works that have shaped our current culture.

Bringing home antiques and connecting with new vendors for @boxwoodavenue.mercantile, plus discovering new sources of inspiration for @boxwoodavenue.interiors projects. The tile in particular! Perhaps because I am currently working on my own bathroom design!

Looking forward to June, a slower month for me as we begin to plan for the month of September, when I head back for our retreat in Provence!
I didn’t mean to, but I think I dressed up as th I didn’t mean to, but I think I dressed up as the farmer emoji. 👩🏼‍🌾😆

Can you guess what I have in my pocket? 😉 Any other ✨official treat ladies✨ out there know: it’s a v important title. And everyone is certainly happy for me to be home! 

Things have come alive since I’ve been gone, and by alive I mean the garden has been taken over by weeds. 😆 We have our work cut out for us, luckily I know a few friends who are happy to help in that department ☝️🐐. 

So begins the garden season of 2023, put your bets in now: will we or won’t we have carrots? We are all hoping for the former.

Ya know, gardening is really a lot like a DIY project, why buy it at the store when you can spend 10x more doing it yourself? 😆 It’s a labor of love, worth every battle!
The prettiest villages to visit in the Cotswolds. The prettiest villages to visit in the Cotswolds. ✨

Chipping Campden: A bit larger of a town, and known to be a little fancier, you’ll see gorgeous thatched roofs here as well as amazing artisans! Great for lunch, dinner, or making your home base!

Snowshill: a tiny town that is so quaint and charming, it doesn’t seem real! A pit-stop along your route. 

Stow on the Wold: A slightly larger town, great for antiquing! Could easily stay here, with good restaurant options as well!

Bibury: A tiny picturesque village, great for a walkabout. Add this to your driving itinerary, plan for about an hour visit.

Bourton on the Water: This is the largest village in this group, it is an excellent spot to picnic, shop around, and spend the day! With tons of shopping and dining options.

Good wine, good food, good people, and flea market Good wine, good food, good people, and flea market earrings. Not necessarily in that order. ✨ 

A beautiful night in Florence with a wonderful group of friends celebrating together the magic of life and experience!

I knew that we would have a fun group when I saw the list of those coming on our first trip to Italy, but I was overwhelmed by just how special our time together became. Late night conversations and laughter, I am immensely grateful!

Le marché, a way of life in Provence!🍒 My fa Le marché, a way of life in Provence!🍒 

My favorite marker is in Lourmarin, and quite honestly I don’t care much for the Apt market even though it’s the largest and oldest - it doesn’t have as much  charm as some of the smaller towns!

Tip: Some vendors accept cards now, but for the most part - you’ll need cash! 

You’ll notice, there are a lot of bric-a-brac type of things to be picked through, but one thing is for certain, the produce is amazing! You’ll only find seasonal items, and while I was there it was cherry, asparagus, and sweet pea season!

Think of the markets like your locals farmer’s market with produce, groceries, and local crafts and goods such as honey, soap, etc…!

One thing that makes French markets all the more special is that is a tradition, everyone attends and it’s simply a standing part of the week. I hope you enjoy and find them to be as exciting as I do!
