Salon

A quick post and some pics of the Salon of the Maison de Livre. 

I hadn't finished fraying the edges of the rug!! It was taking soooo long and I needed to get other things done!

Most of the books I bought from Bagusitaly from Etsy. The ones on the vintage player in the fireplace are from LDelaney also on Etsy. So well made.

 This dresser I love. It is a Petite Princess one from the 1960's in mint condition still with it's box. I think I got it through eBay.

I made these french doors to come out so that I an get into the little foyer area to dress it and change light bulbs when needed.

I love this Mucha poster. I have been trying to find one in RL size.

I still haven't finished off the ceiling treatment yet. It is a small space and I have been looking for a ceiling rose that isn't too busy. I have a wonderful 5 arm chandelier from Art of Mini waiting to hang up once I have the rose.

No knob on the drawer, I had run out of the little glass beads I use!! Argh!!


Only the book shop to go!! Actually only 200 more books to go!!!
Be safe!! Carriexx

  1. Hi.. I am new here, having come to your site via several others! But I just had to say how much I love your 'other' site as well, and I am in awe of your creativity, imagination and skill.
    And the miniatures on this blog are beautiful... you have me hankering again for another dolls house. I am down to one, due to lack of space (books take up so much room when you have a collection of thousands!) and the inability these days to make small items. So I live vicariously through lovely blogs like yours. Thank you. I think...!

  5. It's really lovely, the vintage dresser is something special. The room colours are so restful, and yet you've also managed to convey a sense of 'life' and activity with all the books and other little accessories. You should be very very pleased with it.
