My Red Wall

I think I mentioned I was going to rearrange my home office wall with a great picture I found at the GW and it just didn't have the wow factor when I put it in there so today I rearranged  the entire wall again. I think all my odds and ends that have a gold patina looks so much better.
First here is the blank wall or as they say in home decorating shows , a blank canvas.


It took me 2 hours to get all these frames and mirrors back on the wall




I didn't have room for this mirror I purchased in St Louis  GW once so just hung it on the door. I do unusual things like this
I used all mt footed mirrors on this little chest. It was already painted blue so going to leave it this color till spring . Then it will be black

    See the extra candle laying on this frame?                                                  
                                                        

The little frecnh  provincial chest is something new I have drug home lately. I think it is to big for this spot but going to be satisfied with it for now

I am going to bring my leopard rug back up to this room it is in the studio under one of my creating tables. And have the tray ready for some hot tea



I had several Pug pictures up here and still love them even though Sissy is gone I am keeping her pictures up > Her large picture is in my bedroom now                                                              
                                                                                 
                                                                                                                                                                               
                                                                                                  
     I like this little cloth pug



Looks good to me since it was so much work
      I purchased this feather wreath at Joann's last week                                                           



  This is my next project to makes drapes for the yellow  bedroom

  I am looking for a large red & white checked material to mix with these because I have a red area rug in this room . It will look good together if the reds match

    Well little lady you sure keep at it. I love read and think every house should have a bunch of it. I have used that Staffordshire dog fabric before when I had my country cottage, Nancy has those pillows now. I sold them to her. I will have to get up there one of these days to see it all in person. Hope you have a great weekend. Susposed to be nice. Richard from My Old Historic House.

    Janice I LOVE your red wall of gold frames! And the leopard rug would be perfect in here! Of course I love the Italian and French sconces in the golden frames *winks* AND the staffordshire puppy fabric...and the green leather wing chair and....and...Well you get it...I LOVE everything! *winks*

    About the drapes you asked me about? Yes they're dupioni silk and the pilla is aubusson. I got it at TJ Maxx a long time ago. I've been looking for more of them ever since but they're always so stinkin' expensive!
    And it's funny when I was a kid someone would compliment my mother on something, and she'd say " Oh I only paid $2 for that" And it would make me feel soooo embarassed! Now I'm just like my mama because I'm happy to find my stuff at the Goodwill (Aren't you?) ...Why pay too much?...And it leaves more money for LV *winks* Vanna

    Your red wall of gold mirrors is stunning.
    The walls of our sitting room are red but with 2 walls of large windows and 2 of bookcases I have had to be content with standing 1 large gold mirror on the mantle piece and one, which is just a tad smaller, between 2 of the large windows.
    The mirror on the door is inspired!

    I love the wall full of mirrors and the way you've got one of them around that sconce. Very striking!

    I'm also pretty crazy about that dog fabric! I saw some once that was on a red background and I wish I'd bought it.

    Anything on a red wall will catch my eye, anytime!

    DITTY IN RED

    Just a pinch of scarlet
    To liven up the place;
    Just a hint of ruby
    Brushed upon your face;
    Just a bit of cherry
    Dancing round your toes;
    Just some sanguine colors—
    That’s the way it goes!

    I think the wall looks simply gorgeous! You know how much I love gold gilt frames and crystal, so it all just makes me swoon! Definitely worth all your hard work.

    Wow, what lovely decor you have! And let me say it would have taken em WAY more than two hours to get that all back on the wall. I think it took me two weeks recently to redecorate my walls, I am so slow and bad at that. What you have here looks great. And is that brown transferware china? Im envious!

    Blessings and happy Rednesday. :)
