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.
