Have you ever looked around your home
and noticed all the carved architectural detailing
that you may have accumulated over the years?
I bought this grey scroll bracket last year
and as I was looking at it the other day,
and as I was looking at it the other day,
I realized how many acanthus leaves
and neo-classic carved pieces
there are in this house.

Thought I would share them.
Take a look around your house....
how many carved architectural details
in your furnishings

do you have?
Probably more than you can count, right?

Hi Alison,
ReplyDeleteI can tell from your photos that I would love to come to your house, you have some magnificent pieces. The architectural detailing is very pretty and ornate. Thanks for sharing. I know this post is going to make me take a look around my house, although I don't have furniture nearly as pretty as yours. My kids would tear it up if I did! ...In time! =)
Have a great weekend! XO ~LIZ

I'll have to go on a "photo hunt" this morning (after our grandchildren & their parents are gone). I'm sure I don't have the # that you do, but I can see several examples from my chair right now!
ReplyDeleteYours are wonderful--another reason I've ♥'d your house since I first "saw" it.
Beautiful details...and Maxx is a handsome fellow! My staff insists on being in every post! lol Thanks for entering my giveaway! Happy weekend!...hugs...Debbie

ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

You know I will have to look around and see. Love that bird fabric on the chair. Max the photo ham is cute. I used to have a cat named Max that was gray and long haired. I also had a cat that looks like your Max and his name was Moe.
ReplyDeleteAlison, your antiques are gorgeous. I enjoyed seeing the architectural details in your home. This post would be a fun idea for a linky party!

PS. Love your furry little assistant too!
this was a very original idea for a post, and i love it because it makes us slow down and NOTICE the beauty right under our noses. mmmmmmm. the acanthus leaves i just love.
ReplyDeleteyour comment IS there at DTI...it's on page 2. thanks for all your kind words. you're so good to me. and i'm really sincere when i say i have learned a good lesson and now can decide whether to be a little more protective or develop a thicker skin. i also learned i don't take design or myself as seriously as a lot of folks out there!
always love stopping here and soaking up the lovely, gorgeous mama.

ReplyDeleteThis is like "Where's Waldo"!!! These very lovely carvings live with you, but we can only guess where!!! All we need to know is that you have given them a good home and they grace your beautiful house. Rebecca from Rebecca Ray Designs says "hi". I was with her at the Atlanta Gift Market. You should see her new items! To die for!

These details and curves make a tremendous difference. Happy weekend! ♥O
ReplyDeleteHmmm, this is getting me thinking. I will ahve to go around and see what I come up with! Love all YOUR details! Have a great weekend. XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteI Love your curves. Ok that doesn't sound right!
ReplyDeleteThat is the reason I've never been that fond of craftmen style. Just to simple for me....though I love the colors and wallpapers from the era.

Alison,
ReplyDeleteI don't have as many architectural details as I'd like, but yours are gorgeous. I'm especially drawn to your chair arms. Go figure.
I love acanthus leaves too and have several garden pots with them but very few in my house. Most of my furniture isn't old enough to have great details, but now I think I'll look for some decorative pieces to display. Thanks for sharing your great collection.
Hugs,
Babs
Gorgeous things Allison. I love your new item.. it does look like an egg. I wonder if it part of a vintage Easter deocration. Maybe a little bird or bunny used to peep out of it! It is lovely w/ the flowers
