Industrial-Elegant Vignette

Here's another peek at my living room-in-progress - 

a little vignette of Industrial-Elegant-Cottage style.

This is area just to the right of the front door as you walk inside. 

The "mail drop" is located here. 

I collect the mail in a primitive tray.

This is the reason my front door looks like this:

and my front window has a cracked pane.

The evil post man is going to invade our home!

Or so this girl thinks...

Now I ask you, does this look like the face

of a sofa-eater? Sweet and innocent, she is.

Anyway, I am going for a very eclectic feel.

I want elegance, industrial and cottage

all mixed together without looking insane!

Elegant:

A French-style mirror, painted whiteish.

A couple of gilded mirrors.

A bronze metal medallion 

mounted on wood, painted gray 

and hung inside an empty gilded frame.

A lovely French lady in a fancy gilded frame...

Cottage:

A very chippy off-white frame, with the wire still attached.

Vintage books, a gilded bird nest and twig...

A vintage English chest of drawers

with bronze knobs...I painted it flat white...

and a white primitive tray.

Industrial:

A vintage metal file cabinet...

A vintage metal house number...

...and a bronze candlestick.

An unlikely grouping of items

all put together to achieve 

an interesting and cohesive mix.

Inch by inch progress. Thanks for 

being here to celebrate each inch with me!

Word of the Day:

Philippians 1:24-26

New King James Version (NKJV)

²⁴ Nevertheless to remain in the flesh 

is more needful for you.

²⁵ And being confident of this, 

I know that I shall remain and 

continue with you all 

for your progress and joy of faith, 

²⁶ that your rejoicing for me 

may be more abundant in Jesus Christ 

by my coming to you again.
