Looking back at an earlier project I was on. I’m awestruck by the beauty of this carved alabaster chandelier. It really set the tone for the gilded rotunda ceiling design and walls. Thank you to @twistinteriordesign @sssssskip @apropos_studio

Who doesn’t love antique mirrors behind liquor? These classy panels were made by silver leafing and distressing the back of glass. The silver leafed Peacock silhouette on wavy glass window panels also pays homage to another Pillsbury home- Southways, where wrought Iron peacocks were forged by craftsman, Samuel Yellin, circa 1930s.
The Pillsbury Castle’s Peacock Bar was designed by Rob Edman.
Many thanks to @pillsburycastle @spacecrafting_photography @edmanhill

We sang this song “Lord of the Dance” at our wedding 39 years ago. It was also one of my dad’s favorites. Thank you so much @yoyoma for reminding me of this beautiful piece. It’s a great place to start rebuilding today.

This artwork by Louis C. Tiffany is on display at the Charles Morse Museum in Winter Park Florida. I visited there after exhibiting my own work at the Polasek Museum with the Society of Gilders. It was a mind blowing experience which led me to gild my own piece based on the Magnolias. Then, lo and behold, while waiting for our flight at the CDG airport in France this fall, I happed upon a Tiffany jewelry store! They’d commissioned an eglomise artist to gild glass panels inspired by the original! They are a beautiful adaption. Unfortunately I don’t know the artist who made these pieces, but well done you***! I’m inspired to revisit these beauties and gild a new piece. If you’d like a magnolia glass panel for your own dressing room or perhaps your clients,,,, DM me!!

I confess I didn’t even go inside the chateau at Villandry, I was so taken with the surrounding gardens that have been maintained for centuries. Starting in the Renaissance style in the 16th century, French in the 18th century and transformed into a landscaped park in the 19th century, the gardens of Villandry, which were redesigned by Joachim Carvallo in the early 20th century, “are an original creation blending tradition and innovation.”
I love how they used seasonal vegetables for the color!
Our hotel for the evening was the incredible Le Haut Des Lys, bordering the gardens. We will be back!

First couple days of our Loire valley bike tour visiting chateaus along the way. First stops were the biggies in my book. Chambord and Chenonceau. Great group of congenial bikers from US, Australia, New Zealand. Excellent positivity guides: Ivan and Alice from Intrepid travel.
