House redo part III

 

Dear readers, those among you who have read my previous blogpost, do know that since a few weeks I am working on the redo of a client’s home. As all paint work is finished, last week I started redecorating. If you missed my earlier blogposts about this home redo, please click here and here.

Yesterday, I spent the entire day working on the decoration and tried to combine new decorative items with accessories present in this home. As the home owners collected beautiful furniture over the past years, there was no need to replace furnishings, only a few seats need to be reupholstered.

You doesn’t always need to look for expensive items to create a certain atmosphere. Sometimes bringing in a pop of colour, adding a simple touch, will do to give the room just that little bit more.

I absolutely love the colour of the red berries in combination with the colour shade of the wall painting in the breakfast room.

On the existing console table in the breakfast room an alabaster grape together with a pair of terracotta Khmer objects used as tea light candle holders, found at the shop of Brigitte Garnier. The lamp is refreshed with a new green tinted shade, reflecting the colours of the painting.

In my previous post I already mentioned that my friend Brigitte Garnier of Garnier Antiques assisted me with the decoration. We carefully sorted out some beautiful decorative items Brigitte brought from her antiques shop. I also asked her for advice concerning the new curtains to hang in the kitchen. We will definitely choose for a gorgeous Italian linen fabric.

Combination of green and blue in the orangery’s cabinet. Chinese vases, a pair of 18th century Makkum ceramic plates and a set of blue and white 18th century Tournai ceramic dinner plates.

  11. Don’t sit back and watch your relationship or marriage fall apart slowly like I did. My relationship of six years ended, and my boyfriend blocked me on all social media. I was heartbroken and cried endlessly, but deep down I knew that crying wouldn’t fix anything.
    Because of the love I had for him, I kept searching for a solution—something that could bring him back. Please don’t judge me. Anyone who has truly been in love, and has been loved in return, will understand exactly how I felt.
    While searching online, I came across many comments about how Dr. Dawn had helped people restore their relationships and marriages. Some even claimed he had helped cure cancer, HIV, herpes and more. Out of desperation, I decided to contact him and explained everything I was going through.
    After listening to me, he told me that a girl close to my boyfriend had casted a spell on him.
    Honestly, I had noticed a particular girl from his office who used to visit my boyfriend often, but I never thought much of it at the time. Dr. Dawn assured me that my partner would return within 48 hours. I didn’t believe him—it sounded too good to be true.
    But to my surprise, within 48 hours, I started receiving messages from a strange number. It was my boyfriend. He sent several messages, apologizing and asking for forgiveness. Eventually, I accepted him back, especially after he made genuine efforts to make things right.
    Months later, we got married, and today we have a beautiful child together. I’m grateful Dr Dawn, for how everything turned out. My family and I are happy and at peace.
    If you’re going through a difficult time in your relationship, marriage, infertility, disease, bad luck, don’t lose hope. Contact Dr dawn, things will definitely turn around when you least expect it.
