Exploring Antique Furniture and Home Decorating Ideas
Romantic Decor, Rococo, Art Deco, and More!
We started by looking back at our top 12 antiques and decor blog posts of 2013. We're lucky that many clients send photos of the antique furniture or home decor accents they've bought from us, showing the pieces in their new home. (Like this gorgeous Victorian restoration dining room shared by our client Sal S. in New York.) Those client spotlights are always popular, but other top posts of 2013 included home decor inspirations, travel ideas for antiques lovers, and tips on caring for antiques.
Then we looked forward to the opening of the Johnny Cash Boyhood Home Museum in Dyess, Arkansas in 2014 - especially because the museum bought this antique table from EuroLuxHome.com! The heavily-carved 1890 table is just like one the Cash family had in their home during Johnny Cash's childhood, according to the music legend's siblings.
We started getting in the mood for Valentine's Day by talking about romantic bedroom decor. You could fall in love with many of the design ideas in that post to create romantic decor in other rooms too.
Talking of romantic decor, it's hard to beat Rococo furniture and home accents to add a very pretty note to a room. Our client Gail L. in Colorado proved the point in our spotlight on the vintage rococo chandelier in her dining room. The photos in that post show that Gail has created a beautiful and welcoming space. I love the way she creates a slightly theatrical mood with what looks like a heavy curtain draped across the entrance to the dining room. It's so inviting, don't we all want to peek behind that curtain?
Our long-time customer Betty S. in Florida enjoys Art Deco pieces, as you can see in this photo:
Betty bought this Art Deco buffet from us for her cool 1958 home. She later added the Art Deco clock flanked by two dogs that you see on top of the buffet. (Betty's real-life pooch obviously approves!) The post on Betty's Art Deco decor shows the clock in close-up and tells you more about this dear client and another clock she bought from us too.
As dogs have starred in two photos in this post so far (they always steal the spotlight, don't they?) we might as well end this month's round-up with the antique style pet furniture I found for your dogs and cats. Whether your taste is for Renaissance style, Louis XVl romantic decor, Arts & Crafts or Mid-Century Modern, you can bet I've sniffed out matching furniture for your four-legged friends! Most are from specialist pet furniture retailers, but we've got a few new pieces of pet furniture on the horizon too.
In our January Beauty at Home bookshelf we shared three new books that certainly help put the romance into your decor, whilst our travel piece on Biltmore House and Gardens might provide inspiration for a romantic weekend away. With that, it's farewell to January but if you would like me to write on any home decor or antique furniture subjects in February... I always take requests! Tell us in the comments box below.
