RICH DECOR : A EUROPEAN ESSENCE

Lovely thoughts of the holidays still linger... 

Warmth radiates from this golden dining room.  Loving the combination of European antiquities,  rich yet simplistically perfect.

Will be striving to bring this essence to my interior design work for clients this year.

The beam across the room reminds me of the apartment I rented in Paris., here below.

What inspires you?

Long after I posted about inspiration boards I have been wanting to make one. I make design boards for my client so why not make one for for my ideas and wishes.

Gisele would say "Do not just dream about it ~visualize it coming true and it will"

So here are my inspirations~ fresh flowers always around the house, continued family meals around the table with great conversation, get back to knitting, etc.. Not all are literal translations of the photos but a feeling or emotion.

OK , yes,
there is the photo and expectation of
owning a French Chateau...

French Chateau

It's August, so it must be time to depart Paris to spend a leisurely month in the South of France. Many Parisians travel to the countryside during August; many places shut down during this month. I just placed an order to have an exquisite settee custom made in France specifically for my decorating client. Because of the August shut down the piece will not be started until September, but it is certainly worth the wait....

So I figured why not rent a chateau in France for the month while I wait,

Or so I could dream....

Please enjoy Chateau Dumas with me..
