This is the
piece de resistance...
a beautiful storybook armoire
fit for a princess...
maybe even A Queen.
She has a royal air about her...
and wears a most fantastic frenchy crown...
Gracefully adorned with hand painted flowers
with gorgeous carved shell handles
She wears beautiful carved flowers accents
& has a bombe chest bottom with a slanted top drawer and sides.
Of course, every lady needs a bit of mystery about her...
Inside the top doors, there's a little surprise...
dainty shelves & three lingerie drawers decorated with a flower bouquet.
She is just as pretty from the sides as she is from the front.
She's most definitely a drama queen and loves the attention she gets.
This is my absolute favorite piece of the furniture I have been sharing recently
(shhh.. don't tell the other pieces)
I just about fell over when I saw this armoire. I literally had to stop and compose myself!
lol!
The set is all made in Italy~
around mid-century but definitely has an elegant french look to them.
Soft creamy paint (though it looks more yellow in the pictures)
gorgeous teal accents, pastel florals and
of course,
a bit of pretty gilding for a little glam & drama.
She holds court in the little sitting room/ hall area off the bedroom.
(I apologize~ The lighting in this room is not good for taking photos
and it has been snowing and raining all weekend which makes it even darker)
*sigh*
All hail the Queen!
HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!!!
Hope my French is correct in this post! lol!
I am so excited that it is officially spring
though you wouldn't know by looking outside
snow. snow. snow...
and more rain and possibly snow on the way...
wait a minute...
I thought I was living out here in SUNNY CALIFORNIA?!?
What a strange winter...
