Old Versailles part II

Hi everyone.  Just wanted to show some new pieces I put in my Old Versailles collection in my Etsy shop.  I love this collection, its been a joy creating it and seeing the finished pieces.  If you are looking for that Marie Antoinette look for your dollhouse or just a couple of pop pieces this collection is for you.

 First is a Trumeau mirror, this one is different from the last one, as I put a rural scene in the top.  I love this mirror, just has more of the look I like.  Don't worry the relief piece Trumeau mirrors are coming back too.

 Next is the console table, this is done in a Gustavian grey with gold trim.  Imagine this in full, how stunning it would be in a foyer or grand hallway.

 Oh this one is cute.  A cherub wall panel, I have always loved that green, it looks like it could be in the French Queen's bedroom, maybe over her bed?????  I love it.

 My favorite...... Ok if you have been following my Etsy store then you recognize this, Its a French Empire daybed.  It did have French script fabric on it, but surprise I changed it to this more luxe silk velvet.  OMG can I tell you how much I love it now!!!!!! Trust me it feels as good as it looks, so luxe!!!!!

Last but definitely not least is this Bornholm tall clock.  I have been wanting to do a clock with Scandinavian roots.  The Bornholm clocks are actually Danish, but you see them in Swedish and French homes also.  Its not a Bornholm without the wreath on the bottom.  This piece really came out well.  So for all you Swedish lovers like me, this is for you.  I actually have a surprise for all the Swedish interiors lovers so keep watching my Etsy shop, this is going to be good.

I have to say I went to my first mini show this weekend.... I loved it.  It was the Atlanta Miniature Show,  I had a good time and met lots of fun mini dealers.  It was great can't wait to go again.  If you have never been to a mini show GO!!!!! It is great.  Ok I have to go work on more mini, yes I got the bug.

Make it a great day.

Old Versailles

Hi everyone.  As you can probably tell from my previous posts I have a fascination with 18th century France especially Marie Antoinette.  Trust me I'm surprised I don't own a copy of the movie considering I watch it every time it comes on (ssshhhh even watch it on IFC on demand).  Well that being said I have a birthday coming up guess what I'm asking for?????LOL.  Having that kind of inspiration I decided to do an Old Versailles collection.  I didn't want them to feel new so I aged them a little bit so they felt like antiques.  They are also more detailed and lots of antique gold, we all know how Marie loved her gold, just don't say "Let them eat cake!!!", not a good idea.  More pieces are going to be added, but here are two I have done....

 

 Here is a gold Lyre back chair with dreamy, creamy silk velvet.  I love this chair I also most didn't put it on.....

Next are these Versailles inspired wall panels, they are antique blue with, you guessed it antique gold.  Both of these items are in my Etsy shop along with a few other pretties.....

Make it a good day
