I am hopelessly and willingly inlove with an era I missed but still somehow feel as if I belong in.
A time of love letters.
A time of relentlessly beautiful and more importantly meaningful music.
A time of great hair, dresses and red lipstick.
{Can you find Marilynn?}
I think that is why I am drawn to pieces that are or appear time worn.
Because those pieces have a history, a beautiful past, a story.
These pieces, this mirror... like a reflection of it's beautiful history.
These "reflections" that remain in homes in my opinion, bring not only timeless beauty, but character that cannot be bought at a store.
This armoire for example.. GORGEOUS.
LOVE IT.
And I think what I love most is that it isn't being used for quilts or linens but instead a darling cocktail cabinet.
Traditional sofa but in a beautiful gold color.
Old family photographs displayed in new matted black frames.
Original, classic hardware on a boldly painted door.
Wood floors painted white and re-upholstered classic chairs.
These rooms were obviously built years previous, but have been updated perfectly with delicate touches such as paint color, modern furnishings, or just a fabulous chandelier.
Enjoy..
I believe this to be an old attic turned sun room. The chandelier adds just a hint of glamour to this soft palette.
