Compositions

Visiting antiques fairs, antiques dealers or interior design stores, sometimes it happens that you are so enchanted by a wonderful piece of decoration, as a vase, a plate, a candlestick, a silver object,…that you discovered between all those gorgeous items. You fell in love with it and this beauty seems so precious to you,that you promptly take it home!

You can’t wait to give it the appropriate place you had in mind! But suddenly this beautiful item doesn’t ‘speak’ anymore, it ‘says’ nothing at all!!!

It is awaiting entourage, to be embraced by other objects.

Do you recognize this?!

Sometimes we need a little help, a little inspiration to give the new object the attention it deserves.

That is why I love to file images of beautiful compositions. Whenever I come home with a new acquired object I love to browse into this file. It really helps me to create the most wonderful still .

Some of my filed images here could maybe even help you whenever you are searching for the best entourage of your new acquired thing of beauty.

I might think that a lot of my readers will have discovered the website of the Belgian antiques dealers Brigitte & Alain Garnier. At their website you will not only discover a wide range of gorgeous antiques they are offering but even beautiful stills of antique items. Brigitte is also a master in creating the most wonderful compositions! Take a look at the Garnier website.

Spring

 

Yesterday I redecorated some of the kitchen cabinet shelves. 

 

It feels so good to bring in spring blossom branches.

 

 

I grouped some of my chinese celadon plates together with my Syrian vases.

Last week the painters painted the inside of my kitchen cabinet niches in a more ‘verdigris’ color . I love the new color in combination with the oak shelves and celadon pottery. Don’t you?

 

And I brought in a new slipcovered chair.

Libeco linen of course!

 

A few days ago we went to visit Jan’s daughter and son-in-law and their children Alexa & Tristan. Because they live rather far from our place, we don’t see them that often. So it is always so nice to visit them to see the grandchildren growing!!! And Alexa, who is almost 3 years now, has made us some beautiful drawings!

I scanned and resized them to fit in these photoframes.

Lovely isn’t it?

 

Our sweetest Alexa & Tristan.

 

Brother and sister are hugging!

 

My husband and his dearest granddaughter! 

 

Do you also feel these spring tickles?

To end this spring post, a beautiful saying :

“Spring is nature’s way of saying : let’s party!”

(Robin Williams)

Hope you will all enjoy this new week!
