j'adore trop

Gilt wood ornamental with flamboyant rococo scrollwork and rocaille framing an early piece of mirror glass. Old mirror like this was produced with an amalgam of silver and mercury, and exposure to damp makes it go grey and patchy.

Art by Eyvind Earle for Disney’s SLEEPING BEAUTY (1959).

French artist Nathalie Lété spent the quarantine painting her whole house.

Look at the doors. She even did the floors.

Furniture, too.

I like the tiles, but not the walls and the gold, so much.
