Inspired By The Rural French Countryside

 Burlap Luxe French Home

I have taken an out-dated armoire and
styled it to fit in with my French 
home adding all the French it needed.

Styling a French room,
for seasons to come.
 A designers home, and a painters palette 
muted in pale.

I love the way this armoire rises up to
greet all who enters our home
that lives rustic.

 I avoid a formal sense of 'display' -
rooms that live feel far more personal.
 When I create with paints it's all about questioning -
what would this piece like to become?

This part of the design process for the artist in me, plays -
out all things rural French.

 New hardware, then sanded and aged adds to the feel of
authentic French history.

 Antique key
A bit of family history.
 
 Seasonal foliage in a French weathered floral-
can adds to an informal mood.
 Greeting the season inspired by the French -
countryside
 A sense of natural comfort is found in every aspect
of French living.

 The armoire doors before I removed the
leather and sanded down its finish.

Yes a dated feast.
 
 Before drawer, before hardware.

 Painted in a French patina, rural in style found in
almost every French home.

 Background lighting.



 Aged as if unearthed from a French antique dealer.

My newly given patina as if acquired from
years of use.
