As I mentioned in a previous post, our recent family trip back East was a balance of adult and children activities. Everyone learned to compromise. After Steve and I agreed to wait in line at Georgetown Cupcakes (the gluten free lava fudge cupcake was amazing!), Leila and Nick were willing to do a little Patina Farm shopping with me and Steve.
Our first stop was Marston Luce Antiques.
It was hard for me to control myself in this gorgeous store!
The combination of rustic and refined pieces created the exact feeling I want Patina Farm to have.
This 18th Century Swedish cabinet was one of my favorite pieces. Steve and I couldn't find a place to use it at Patina Farm, but I'm hoping that my client will use it in her bathroom.
I apoligize for a couple of blurry images! This one was just too pretty not to include. The green lantern, pottery, and antique books look wonderful on this aged iron shelving unit.
The gilt finish on these architectural elements was just too much for me to resist. Yes, they came home with me. I have no idea what I'm going to do with them!
A pair of these wall lanterns are also going to Patina Farm. I think they will be used in the mud room or perhaps on the outdoor patio.
This lantern is going in my new office.
This Swedish writing desk will be placed in the main space behind the sofa or in Leila's room.
Leila liked the faux marble top and the drawer detail.
This mirror will most likely be used in Leila's bathroom above her blue Swedish sink base. We both liked the gilt and gesso finish.
This little French side table had wonderful detailing, and I liked the pale color. Unfortunately we have enough side tables for now, so we didn't purchase it.
Combining beautiful antiques and garden elements created a lightness to the feel in the store.
The pieces we purchased from Marston Luce arrived last week, just in time for us to incorporate some of them into our window display for the Legends of LaCienega Event this week! I'm planning to take a few pictures of the window tomorrow to share with you.
In the meantime, I hope your week gets off to a wonderful start!
