CHIC ANTIQUES!

December 19, 2011

Vintage French Leather & Steel 2 Drawer Table by Jack Adnet
Vintage French Leather & Steel 2 Drawer Table by Jack Adnet – $19,850 (mid 20th century. French. Use as console or desk. 39.5″w x 23.5″d x 29.25″h)

For no apparent reason was on 1st Dibs the other day…and came across these three lovelies. Black furniture with a bit of gold toned trim. I like the lines of all of these pieces…wouldn’t put them in a room together…but would certainly want one as a signature accent piece in a space. Imagine a white room sparsely decorated and add in some wonderful decorative molding on the walls…and then add one of these pieces for a powerful punch of style.

What do you think? Chic or not chic that is the questions?

I think I like the settee the best. Which is your favorite? Would you ever spend this much on antique? If not, maybe a reproduction would work?

Please do tell.

Happy Monday!

    Tres Chic. If I won the lottery I would write you a thank you note from that desk for helping me discover it.

    OMG the desk at the top is hands down my favourite. How utterly, utterly elegant. I wondered when mid 20th century French furniture was going to start appreciating in value, especially as they are essentially reproductions!

    The first piece is my favorite, and the hardware totally makes it. The little gold ball feet are to die for. Would I spend this much on an antique for MY home? Hell no — everything in my home gets distressed by my destructive sons and puppy dogs.

    However, an unaffordable or unattainable antique makes a great “inspiration piece.” Brass and gold are definitely on the way back (now that everyone has purged them from their homes) and gilding the frame of a settee or changing out hardware on a desk or bureau is a great way to bring a little personality and trendy chic into one’s home without breaking the bank.

    I wonder if it’s too late to ask Santa for that gorgeous table? Simply stunning! I love how the darker tones with gold accents make them all feel a little more modern.

    Black and gold Antique furniture is my weakness. I have been collecting pieces similar to these for a while. I find them all over, even at the salvation army believe it or not!

    That Settee is going to be in my dreams for a very long time!

Keep it simple. No need for bells and whistles an Keep it simple.  No need for bells and whistles and fancy things to make your house a home.  In this picture, a plant, two chairs I found at the flea market, a layered rug situation and some modern art...de-cluttered space can be equally as inviting as one filled with memories and treasures.  If you are stuck with how to decorate, I say keep it simple.  Purge and start with the basics.  Full disclosure, this is a shot of my living room from a few years ago when I first moved in...I didn’t even have drapes up when this was taken.  I have since added pieces and changed out furniture and added a 2nd sofa...but it started super simple and it was lovely back then.  When the world is swirling around us and making no sense, how are you keeping things simple at home?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last year.  Clueless as to what was to come.  Was in Paris, with my mom, enjoying her summer apartment in the middle of the 6th arrondissement.  I had just left the U.K. visiting friends for a few days in London and the Cotswolds.  None of us knew that this summer 2020 would be so different.  Today, I can only hope this time of tumult and great divides leads somehow to a future of calm and harmony.  Going backwards in time is not an option.  Pushing forward is.  Happy Sunday to you.  Where were you last summer?  Where do you imagine you’ll be next? Xoxo #socococozy #bringstylehome
Incredible living room before and after as designe Incredible living room before and after as designed by my good friend Steve Jones @bettershelter!  I went on a tour today.  I also went on a tour a year ago when he first got the house.  See my stories. Swipe to see what this room looked like before.  Life lesson from a room transformation:  When faced with the daunting and not so pretty, look to do the work, and you can make changes to bring  out what is good.  Right?  This home by the way is going on the market soon and is in one of my favorite parts of town, View Park.  What changes have you made lately that have turned bad into good? #socococozy #bringstylehome #remodeling #homerenovation #californiadreaming
“Be patient with yourself it has been a funky fe “Be patient with yourself it has been a funky few months in the world.” My friend Manon texted this advice to me today.  She is right.  A little patience and a lot of kindness to yourself and to others during these unusual times will go a long way.
***
Am in my living room right now looking at these pretty flowers in that white urn I found lying around.  The urn works (see Flower Power highlights for backstory). Thinking on who I might send one of these bouquets to today as a little act of kindness.  Still working on the patience piece of her advice! 🤪 Who might you send flowers to?  How can you be more patient with yourself? Happy Saturday!

Hi! Finally something to smile about! 😂 Exciti Hi!  Finally something to smile about! 😂 Exciting flower news today as I debut the first ever COCOCOZY designed bouquet in my latest partnership! Tada.  Here is The Classic by COCOCOZY exclusively on @ftdflowers + @proflowers as part of their #herestoher initiative!  Swipe left to see it up close.  I wanted to design a super lush classically beautiful bouquet that would look good in any home during the fall/winter.  Roses, eucalyptus and so much more in soft whites and greens.  I am so happy with the final product.  What’s great is that this hand tied bouquet comes in a box straight to your door and you can put it in any vase.  If you swipe left you can see it in my breakfast room.  Perfect for sending as a birthday gift, celebration, expression of love or friendship, a business gift, a thank you to someone or I recommend ordering for yourself every couple of weeks to cheer up your space as we stay at home more!  I plan on getting them weekly!  Anyhoooo...I’m linking to the bouquet in my profile.  Have you ever ordered flowers for yourself just because?  Who might you send these to?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
