What Makes a Home ?
What Makes A Home.........
High ceilings...............
Windows to allow natural light....
Warm & inviting detail....
A grand entrance & a spiral stair case...........
A warm kitchen...........
An open space.......

I tend to see things a little differently to most............
When I first purchased this apartment shell, everyone told me I was crazy!!!
......Perhaps sometimes in life you have to be a little crazy.....
The contents of this collection are made up from fragments of history lost in time..............
Pieces which have survived the French revolution, countless wars, famine, poverty
& of course the biggest test of time, fashion.
In times of opulence, they stood majestically......
& in times of depression they were shadowed in attics as forgotten moments & lost memories......
Gilded pelmets which were once dressed in silk curtains, above french doors leading out
to perfectly manicured gardens.......
Crystal chandeliers which sparkle like diamonds, once lit up hallways which leading to opulent salons.......
An old workbench scared from years of use in a workshop......
Copper pots & pans from a French Cusine, used for countless banquets & grand dinners......
300 year old solid oak doors, which were once the grand entrance to to a Chateau in Normandy, which was badly damaged in a fire...............
