 Forced Misshapen Rural Mud

 Objects Of Desire

over 59 years ago my grandparents purchased a country home that was

already 250 years old.

In this home was family heirlooms that my grandparents 

became the new caretakers. Old film plates date this

rural farmhouse trunk back 250 plus years.

Its original milk washed French bleu paint was amazing, yet had been

painted over with a black-green that left me no other choice than to

strip it back to its rawness and add new history in a washed and 

distressed white... A lime waxed technique.

This trunk chest adds a sense of simplicity of all things peasant and

rural to my French home without a gap in it fitting in.

 Idea To Inspire A

Lantern

 Seaside French Lantern

This vintage lantern made of hand forged iron trimmed in barley twisted iron 

was purchase from a beautiful seaside home yard sale in 
Malibu, California.

Washed in years of sea mist, aged in the beauty of white and galvanized grey.

A French lantern that needed to come with me and where would I hang it was not

my concern, I just knew I had to have it.

  It has moved about my home in a vignette or two and pushed aside in my 

home office space out of the way until now!

 

A Side Table Lantern Lamp

I wired the pendant length wire and chain with new wire, then 

attached a toggle switch for tuning it off and on.

Enough wire and a plug was added in length long enough to not

limit my moving it about and where outlets may be at my access.

Yes, it came to thought that I did not have to hang it quite yet, I could 

find some uniqueness in its use until a good fit is constructed.

 

 Perfectly aged with all the rightness of a patina to love.

Chippy whites layered on a patina of grey and

sea rust.

 

 

 Within this space it became interesting with light, and

it casts interesting reflections around the room.

  The Black-Eye Susan's

all dried up add to whats all natural in our

fall home.

Late In The Day

the light warms in the stillness.

Inspiring a lantern for a lamp.
