Antique and Chic Home Accents
In our February blog posts we took a peek inside some of our clients' homes and explored antique furniture and chic home accents. This shortest month of the year has just zoomed by, but we've made the most of every day. We hope you have too! Let’s revisit some of our favorite February posts.
We started the month enjoying tea in our client Barbara's kitchen. Well, we didn't literally go to visit her in Cambridge, MA, but when we saw the photos of her kitchen we certainly wanted to! Barbara has this beautiful teacup and spoon chandelier hanging over her Farmhouse style sink. The chandelier is just one of many hand-made upcycled light fixtures in our gallery, and they all make unique home accents. This one is crafted by an artisan using vintage silver plate spoons. It blends perfectly with the other classic elements in Barbara's decor. You can see more photos of her lovely kitchen in our client spotlight on the vintage spoon chandelier. 
From the kitchen to the dining room! Our client Tracy bought this oak Renaissance buffet dating to 1900 from us and shared how it looks in his home. The finely carved buffet looks wonderful against his sophisticated dark green walls. That post also gave me the chance to tell you more about the background and typical features of classic Renaissance style. See more photos and learn about antique Renaissance style furniture.
We keep treasure-hunting in Europe, but I thought it would be great to show a blast from the past. Here I am scouting for antique furniture and home accents on our VERY FIRST European buying trip. We had just quit our corporate jobs and put our life savings into following our dream. We believed that regular folks like us would love hand-selected, high-quality French antique furniture as much as we did. We also had faith that they would buy it online, especially as we could offer very competitive prices compared to fancy big city galleries. We had no idea of what was ahead of us! It has been an amazing journey and you can read about our first steps in my post on 10 Years of European Antique Furniture. 
While most of our furniture and home accents are antique, we also choose some finely crafted, high-quality reproduction pieces to offer to our customers. This stunning Woodbridge coffee table from the Madeleine collection is a great example. The antiqued gold leaf finish and glass top looks perfect in our client Mary's chic living room. See more of Mary's sunny California home in our Woodbridge coffee table post. 
Just in time for the Oscars - are you ready for your close-up, Mr. Clooney? In our blog post on celebrity antiques lovers, we had fun talking about the Academy Awards stars who love antique furnishings in their decor just as much as the rest of us. We found that George Clooney, Sandra Bullock, and Ellen DeGeneres have more in common than just great talent. Clooney, for example, seems keen on antique Mission style lighting, as he has decorated the dining rooms in two of his homes with them. I'll be back in March to talk more about antique furniture and home accents. Till then, I'm stocking up on popcorn for Oscar night! french antique furniture antique buying trip in europe antique buffet mission style decor woodbridge furniture company chandelier vintage upcycled vintage chandelier teacup chandelier renaissance furniture
