It has been now almost 10 monts that I have been buying all the interior of a big castle.
This house is around 3000 square meters.
I go every week , to buy furniture , curiosités , linen , sculptures , garden furniture ....
Can you imagine to buy everything in the house . Soon I will bring back to my little show room an entire XVIII wood panelling with fireplace and Versailles style wooden floor . The entire house has been remodeling.
By the way , this day makes me so happy because I've found litlle " curiosités " full of poesy ...
This is just one part of my treasure hunt , four baby jesus crowns still wrapped in their original papers , cristal and jewellry (some flowers from religious candelebras )
I even buy this library's ladder and this linen in the background . It is old mattress linen
So today it was cristal and crowns , if you want to see more poetic crowns , let's go to see the incredible blog of Donna O'Brien .
Flowers of metal and glass , aren't they beautiful ?
at least they are not short-lived ....
Ces couronnes sont magnifiques !!! Merci pour ton gentil commentaire sur mon blog aujourd'hui. Je suis heureuse de découvrir le tien :-)
