The author purchased a property in the south of France and wanted to furnish it with white furniture like the previous owners. However, they realized it would be difficult to shop for white furniture in their small village outside of Toulouse since they did not have a car. Therefore, they decided to order the furniture from a UK store called New England Lifestyle and have it delivered to their current UK home and transported with their other belongings to France.

1. French Furniture Flaw

2. My wife and I really didn’t know what we
were getting into when we purchased a
property in the south of France.
It’s something we have always spoken
about and it finally became reality when we
signed the papers last week. 2 days ago
we flew out to Toulouse and took a proper
look around the place. It’s beautiful!

3. The old owners had gone for the ‘white
furniture’ look which really seemed to work.
There’s something about white furniture in
a naturally lit place that makes the whole
feel of the property seem so fresh and
contemporary. We think we’re going to
stick with this when it comes to the dining
table, chairs and patio furniture.

4. There was just one problem; we really don’t
know where you go shopping for white
furniture in the south of France. Toulouse is
a big city but we’re not actually in the
city, we’re in a little village just outside
called Brax and we don’t have a car in
France either so where ever we shop they’ll
have to do delivery.
Our house is here

5. Taking all these issues into consideration, my wife
and I sat down last night and came up with an action
plan. We’re going to buy the furniture in the UK and
have it transported over with our other goods that
we’re bringing.
Whilst looking online we found this great store called
New England Lifestyle which specialises in white
furniture. We found exactly what we were looking for
and have placed an order for it to be delivered to our
current UK property.

6. We bought a lovely white coffee
table, dining room set and lots of little
bookcases and nik-naks to go around our
chateaux. It’s going to look great. My wife
and I can’t wait to get out there and start
placing it everywhere ready to start our new
lives.

7. We’re not actually moving over to France
until towards the end of the summer so we
have plenty of time to make the
arrangements for the moving company and
believe me, there are a lot of
arrangements!

8. I would recommend New England Lifestyle
to anybody that is looking for white furniture
for their home. Take a look round their
website today and you may just find
yourself packing up and moving in to the
sun like we did!
