Elegance and Style in an Italian Florentine Bathroom
March 22, 2010
Elegance and style isn’t far when you decorate with gorgeous Italian Florentine items. These lovely trinkets and accessories liven up any space and add glitter to your decor. Looking through what we offer under our Bella Finds section, I saw that one could really make a gorgeous bathroom with the right items!
Looking at the above collage, I paired gorgeous reproduction wall sconces with a one of a kind antique commode from Europe. (The commode could be altered to hold a sink.) The right sink vanity can really transform a bathroom especially when you’re going for a certain look. The golds and greys in its design pulled together the European elegance in the accessories.
We also carry this gorgeous vintage mirror with a gorgeous sculpted top. The frame is wood and chippy in parts which really adds to the vintage quality. Complete the look with a few Italian Florentine accessories (such as a gold hand-mirror and tissue box) and voila! You’re there!
The gold hand-towel stand isn’t Italian, but it was a charming Bella Find item that went well with the decor.
Item List:
6990 – Vintage Oval Mirror with Rose Swag Details in Gold
Antique Commode from Europe in Gustavian Grey
BF1395 – Vintage Florentine Italian Tole Gold and Blue Hand Mirror
Italian Florentine 2-Arm Wall Sconce in Gold
BF1472 – Shabby French Iron Gold Towel Holder with Handtowels
BF1508 – Vintage Florentine Italian Sqaure Tissue Box in Gold

New European Imported Furniture!
November 22, 2009I love it when we get new furniture in from Europe. There’s always so much style and uniqueness to these old pieces. Often they need a little love, some new paint and fabric and suddenly it’s given a brand new life!
\We just got in a ton of new chairs and settees into the shop. These are a few of my favorites. Granted, the settee featured here is a reproduction, but I’m so in love with the pink toile fabric that was used on its cushion. Charming, isn’t it? The white, cane chairs has a cute detail on the top giving it a great silhouette. And finally, I love the cream chair because of its simplicity. And with it displayed on the dark hardwood floors with the chandelier and statues — it’s almost like a beautiful painting.

Inspired Designs: The Apartment of the Dauphin and Dauphine!
October 31, 2009One day, I’ll visit the Palace of Versailles. And I’m sure once I get there, I will not be able to leave. But for now, we can make our own homes into miniature palaces of decadence and glamour with a few incredible pieces of furniture.
Featured below is the GORGEOUS Apartment of the Dauphin and Dauphine. This photo is courtesy via The Château de Versailles website. Concerning the space, the website states:
The dauphine’s private study
For a long time this small room and the following one formed a single space, which was first the antechamber of Monsieur, then of Monseigneur, before becoming the latter’s bedchamber in 1693. It also served as the bedchamber of the regent, then of the dauphin when he was a child, but was divided in 1747 to form private studies for the dauphine and dauphin. The young couple’s apartments communicated with each other by their furthest rooms, protecting their privacy to a certain extent.
Some of the natural panelling’s charming décor in “vernis Martin” remains; it has been completed and the scene above the door depicting the Four Seasons, which Jean-Baptiste Oudry painted for this room in 1749, has been put back into its original position.
Antoine Gaudreaux made the chest of drawers and Bernard Van Rysenburgh the sloping desk in 1745 for the first dauphine; both admirable pieces were used by the second.
A glazed door to the right of the niche, where a sofa once stood, provides access to the rear rooms.
I just LOVE the ornate designs on the molding and the bold and dark chandelier makes a statement against all the details! But how in the world is anyone to replicate a look like THIS?

Let’s Talk Burlap!
October 19, 2009Burlap is a treasure when it comes to rustic-style decorations. It can be used in the home or outdoors, and is especially helpful for special events and holidays to help keep the rustic feel for any occasion. Though burlap is commonly used as a strong sack to harbor objects and protect them from wet environments, there is more than meets the eye to this material. When paired with the elegant frames of vintage French furniture, the end result is a happy marriage of textures that is both comfortable and luxurious! Who’d have thought?
Recently, we received an AMAZING shipment of French, Louis XV style furniture from Europe! The frames were kept in its original finish, but the pieces were reupholstered in beautiful, burlap fabric. We just loved how it came out! Rustic and cozy, yet elegant! The two textures of the burlap and the distressed furniture work very well together. We also have a gorgeous line of burlap pillows that we call Garden Adornments. Each pillow is printed with a cute, French style image. Can you imagine a bunch of these on a burlap settee? To die for!
We’re excited with this new style and we’re happy to help you get that look you want!

Vintage Framed Mirror in Gold
Louis XV Vintage Occasional Table
