French Country Interiors by Leo Dowell Designs. When dark stained furniture was passed down to the children they wanted something different. So they painted over the stains. Leo is now training Doreen Whaley how to duplicate this “Dusting Of The Centuries” patinas on client’s stained chairs and furnishings. Pulling colors out of the fabrics he is reupholstering them in and tying the whole room together. #frenchdetails#frenchfutniture#frenchciuntry#authenticvintage#decoring#Parisstyle#ckassic#breathtaking https://www.instagram.com/p/B6xAfMUpIP0/?igshid=mwnphhm8v1f1

Chateau Lyon. This 18th century crystal chandeliers was being unloaded off of a dealers truck at a fair in the South of France. Leo ran to buy it before someone else made an offer. The magnificent doors were reclaimed from a Paris hotel.....4” thick and 10’ tall. Reclaimed biblical stone floors.

Chateau Lyon.
Leo designed barrel vault ceilings and stairs that have risers only 6” high, much easier to ascend. The stairs are limestone. Authentic French architectural details.
