Just a few weeks ago at my brother in law’s wedding (they had fresh roses) my father in law fished out his buttonhole that he wore at my wedding and wore it through the evening, as the real rose had started looking ratty! Tickled my funny bone Re: Antiques in a Modern Interior 17Feb 23, 2010 5:55 am So…Mrs B…..have you started again with the table top? Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: Antiques in a Modern Interior 18Feb 24, 2010 8:01 am Thankyou so much for all your replies and discussion Zeke, haywgl,serialstyler, Kek, mishb,Suh, Annietom, donuts, Michelle and Vundaful I have gone over all your replies a few times and now I am starting to have an image in my mind...not just for this space but all the spaces throughout the house. I have a decorating dilemma in the fact I have many beautiful, precious (to me at least) items in boxes that havent yet found a home. My mothers crystal collection, the boys bunnykins we have collected for them since they were born, china, plates etc How do I display these objects in a modern interior....I need to go to a few modern art museums to see how its done. Anyway, what I am trying to say is that I wanted to use what I have already but I think I have got to move on and start looking at buying other pieces I love that suit this particular home and not our period home before. The ideas I love....The crystal lamp, art work behind the table, a few candles in glass cups and maybe one or two crystal bowls. Photo frames...perhaps glass mirror like the one I have already. My scheme will be glass and crystal with white thrown in. I also love the mirror Suh but it would have to be one with a 'white pearl' finish to the frame...very soft, femine yet with a modern edge. Annie your suggestion for flowers I love and that exactly what I use to have in our old home when the table was in our lounge. I cant have flowers in the bedroom Its a cultural custom on Mr B's side ...(I will leave it at that.) So, off to that 'bed, bath, table' place in Hawthorn to look for few things Hopefully next week I can show you what I have done. if anybody have inspiration pictures, please post them here as I love visuals!
