The Fireplace Heroine  I love the color palette, & whilst my walls are not white (yet) this makes me consider going for all-white on both walls and ceiling as opposed to a pale shade of taupe with pinks, which is what I've had in mind for a while..  Okay, this photo makes me want to go back to my initial plan of taupe on the wall, ..or grey. From this photo I got my inspiration for the middle room    Mirrored furniture pieces are lovely. Those cubes are perfect for this room as a giant coffee table.. Photos via Aljyoon Finally got my copy of Cheminées Magazine, merci beacoup to Gwen who also coupled it with a few more publications to help. Did I mention how much I love the supplemental magazines of Le Figaro? I love it! I love it! I love it! There were also some other articles that I found extremely helpful on ELLE Décor: + Fireplace Excavation I love the Internet =D I also love The French Collection of fireplaces at Chesney's (via Aljyoon) Somehow, they're pretty much what I was looking for; unlike the existing 2 in brown/maroon marble, these are carved on pale marble and are easier to adapt to any déco palette of choice. My favorites are: + The Versailles Louis XVI don't want to rush just yet in my purchases before I know what will become of my existing ones, and whether or not Monsieur Deboi will be able to source the same designs closer to me in France as opposed to having them shipped from the UK; after all, they're all French fireplaces, non?         My main focus now is to get the palette right. Still loving the one below, and much to my convenience, the parquetry of the living rooms are already the herringbone pattern, in oak. The wood itself needs refurbishing, & I intend to do that with a muslin cloth, a bucket of boiling water, a cloth drenched in tea, turpentine and lineseed oil (thanks for Jane Webster author of The French Table for the former tip, and Jeanne for the latter) I found a couple of sofas -much to my liking- yesterday on one of my shopping endeavors, & as I type this, I'm waiting for a few more fabric catalogs to be delivered, just to find that perfect piece and pattern for the foot stool of the middle room, and the separator-sofa of the hallway. Mirror furniture! I need Mirror furniture - bedside tables et al, any clue? I have this sense of relief that finally, ..fiiiiiiinally I'm starting to visualize the château's living space -vaguely. The fabric catalog delivery is here, a tout aller Labels: Deco, Domestic Goddess, La Dolce Vita $3 in my moola box | link | email this post |
