Sometimes, we pick up a piece (or pieces!)
that are SO stunning already,
it's a challenge to dream up something even more fabulous
It's like we have a RESPONSIBILITY to the pieces, you know?
This bedroom suite is a great example...
pretty fabulous, right?
All that lovely detail? It's raised (carved OUT of the wood, not in to it!)...AMAZING!
The shape?
Bombe and GORGEOUS
Even the hardware is special!
Solid wood, circa 1972
by Dixon Powdermaker
(Florida company!)
I struggled a bit...nothing was really coming to me, inspiration-wise
I actually started painting the pieces a sea blue/green
when I thought "really? That's the best you got?"
So I stopped. And thought. And thought.
then, I recalled an AMAZING table I saw
all curves, copper, and silver...
I LOVED that table!
~I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to do~
I tackled the nightstands first, as they had so much lovely detail work
Smokey grey metallic paint makes the curves on this set really shimmer
Highlighting the details, gorgeous silver leaf
Copper brings some warmth while still being so glam
Even the hardware is spectacular on this set!
What an amazing find this was...I hope we've done it justice!
