A New Place For Inspiration

I love antique stores, especially ones that have a certain vibe. A little French, a little Swedish and totally unique. When I came across these pictures on Tumber I just had to share.

I especially love the blue patina on the chest in the back left.  Like many of you I have a passion for old patina. In fact, I spend a great deal of time working on imitating it. And all of us as painters can get very close. But this is aged to perfection that only time and gentle can accomplish.  Which piece of furniture do you like the best?

Enjoy these pictures from Josephines Antiques in London. I don’t know what I am dreaming of more, a blue patina like this armoire, or maybe a trip to London to see it in person. Sigh… not in the cards for this month year.
