My home Christmas decoration so far

 

 

On both sides of the frontdoor, we placed a tree without ornaments. I do love the natural look of the Christmas trees.

 

On a table in our garden : a lantern, antlers, some pine tree branches and pine cones.

 

A pine branch on the wall of the orangery.

 

White candles, pine branches and cones in the fire place of the dining room.

 

This year we installed the Christmas tree in our dining room. Christmas lights are the only decoration.

 

Very simple and very cozy, this decoration in the kitchen.

 

A bunch of mistletoe next to the cupper pans.

 

A touch of Christmas decoration on a table at the entry.

 

Candles, pine branches and cones on the mantle in our living room.

 

So far this year’s Christmas decoration!

What’s new in our living room this week ?

 

I am finalizing the decoration of our living room.

This week framed intaglios and reupholstered armchairs were brought in.

The intaglios with custom made frame, I ordered at Empel Collections.

 

In my previous living room update post, I told you about the pair of French 19th century walnut armchairs we had to reupholster. The upholstery was finished this week.

I chose for the La Seyne Check pattern by Brunschwig & Fils.

Our living room-update

 

Previous weeks I got a lot of emails from readers who were interested in our living room redo and who asked me when I would be able to post some ‘after’ pictures.

The very first post about our living redo dates from January 30th this year (see it here) ! Almost 7 months ago !

We are currently finalizing the decoration of the room. The passed days Jan took care of adding the picture lighting fixtures while I was thinking about the furniture and decorative accessories to bring in.

I have to admit that I am not finished yet with all the decoration of the room. That is why I only have posted a few pictures of the redo so far. More to come within a few days.

 

I absolutely wanted to have placed again, the French painted commode, earlier seen in the living room.

This chest is made and finished after an antique piece, in the workshop of our company Lefèvre Interiors.

The patina of the commode looks wonderful with the gray finish we have given the wooden floor. To read more about the floor finish, read my post about it here.

The painting above the commode is of the artist Jean-Marc Louis.

As you can see here in this picture, the room isn’t finished yet. I am thinking about which fabric to choose for the upholstery of these 2 French 19th century walnut armchairs I found in Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (France), a few years ago.

 

I hope you enjoyed this living room redo update post ! More pictures later!

Living room update

 

The last weeks before our annual holidays we were occupied finalizing clients’ projects. I hadn’t found time to complete the decoration of our living room!  I do hope to furnish the room in one of the following weeks.

I am very happy to tell that one of the previous days, we finally were able to hang the curtains, which completely changed the look of our living room.

Living room redo so far

 

Good morning my readers, I do know that a lot of you like to be updated about our living room redo.

 

About a week ago, the artist painter finished the paneling patina.

Before bringing on the final coat, we added the mirrored glass into the paneling above the fire place.

 

A close up from the double door towards the dining room.

 

A detail of the paneling.

It is always diffficult to see the exact color of the patina in a picture. We have chosen for a faded green, a verdigris.

 

This week, the painters started to paint the window frames and will going on to paint the ceiling.

 

Everything wrapped in!

 

In the meantime I am thinking about the type of wall lights we need to have in the room.

I already ordered a pair of French LXV appliques in an unlacquered polished brass from Vaughan which will be added on both sides of the mirror.

And this pair of 18th century Italian wall lights, which I found a couple of months ago at Brigitte & Alain Garnier Antiques, will be hung on the paneling.

A few days ago we received the rim lock and handles for the secret doors from van Cronenburg Architectural Hardware.

 

In one of the next days I will have to make a decision about the window treatment fabrics! There are so many beautiful fabrics ! So hard to make a decision!

‘Esprit 18ième’ yet to notice in our living room

 

 

I am pleased to update you about our living room redo because yesterday the painter started to bring on the final layer of paint over the wood.

We were very thrilled to watch the painter adding so many layers of paint to create that French 18th century look of our paneling.

Even though only a part of the paneling is yet painted, we do feel the spirit of the 18th century already. Don’t you ?

 

A picture never can show the exact color of the patina. We have chosen for a shade of gray-green.

 

I show you here some pictures of our painter at work, the previous days.

Many layers of paint were added on the oak wood of the paneling.

We really had to be very patient to finally see the result. But it’s worth it !

 

 

I just love the detail of this moulding.

Patina finish

What a change this patina created !

I do hope you all enjoyed this update post ?!
