French Cottage Spirit

 Burlap Luxe Home Style

Designer/Artiste

Living with a salvaged past and

creating in the French cottage spirit.

A salvaged French 

lantern. 

Decayed and weathered from the

seaside, and purchased from a California, Malibu

cliff-side home remodel.

This exterior veranda lantern, took on years of

sea wash that only a sea breeze and mist

can create rustically.

Painting on salvaged antique mahogany floor

planks.

Vintage linen is mounted and canvas nailed

to the wood plank, then painted in an aged

style of intrigue.

Each linen painting is purposefully tattered,

torn, and frayed. Adding all the rightness

to the look and feel of French cottage

spirit.

  

Tattered

Frayed

Relaxed in romance, where graceful age is

painted.

 I will have 17 linen paintings,

the number of salvaged planks.

Listed soon in my online shop,

French Theatrics Of Salvage

 BURLAP LUXE DESIGNS

My latest theatre of the arts, I design and create from

 rustic salvage wood.

Along with my bending of wire art and paper doll and 

cartapesta mice.

 

 Salvage Wood

Chosen and cut to dimensions, using the best pieces showing

signs of weathered and decaying inspiration.

Every piece gets wood glued and screwed, adding all the

rightness to a French theatre of song and

dance.

  

Theatre Taking Shape 

 Moldings, picture frames, chair rungs and drawer pulls for finials

are often found in pieces of furniture I salvage from their past.

History in such pieces inspire my art in building forgotten

 treasured play.

This Theatre hangs on a wall.

22" in height x 17" in width x 6" in depth.

 Ephemera

Vintage paper ephemera I collect, papering a backdrop wall.

Yet, I nudge along its brittle aged look with tearing and

piecing it together so this wall takes on a look

of centuries old.

 

 Paint And Tattered Curtians

A paint treatment I give it to preserve each piece rustically.

I have still yet to lay the planked stage flooring, adding

a bit more moldings and its vintage music box

under the stage base.

Hopeful in completion soon, old wood salvage finds can not be

rushed.

A French Bedroom...Simplicity In Rustic Elegance

 Burlap Luxe Living

In French style.

A country bedroom should feel airy with open space.

Giving this small French style bedroom a paleness

of touch.

A French bedroom is always distinctive of its simplicity.

An important piece in a French bedroom is the bed, never

allowing it to take over the room.

 

The French mirror plays a role in opening up the size

of the rooms small space. 

Placed over a favorite chest of drawers to reflect the

bed and the accented decorative pieces.

 

Mirrors are used in every room reflecting the light into 

its space adding an open airy feel to a room. 

In the case with my smaller room.

  

vintage Sawhorse 

I turned an old carpenters sawhorse into

a bedside table by adding a planked surface and 

trimming if off for rustic rural country feel.  

The French use of pieces once used with another

 function are often never discarded in a French

home.

When and item loses its usefulness,

its again admired as decorative.

Inspiring

 Spaces.
