Why didn’t someone tell me? Studying 18th and 19th Century Railings. When you take an artistic approach to wrought iron railings instead of a mass manufactured one, you have the artistic freedom of mixing different thicknesses of the elements just as Mother Nature does in real life......Leo Dowell Designs. #interiordesign#luxuryinteriors#frenchlessons#breathtaking #wroughtiron#artusticfreedom#designsecrets#frenchtouch#art#breathtaking #grandentrances#totalconcept#magicalinteriors https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Asi76pBL9/?igshid=boou9h1zaq9n

“Skyfall” A French style chateau style project. Leo said he was inspired by the Knights of The Roundtable armor when he designed this cooper, brass , and hammered steel smoke deflector. This is the crowning touch for the client’s Black Forest mantle.

Magical Interiors. My last video cut off the painted ceiling. This shows part of it. Architectural moldings surrounding a renaissance style painted sky with an angle or two.

This is how the magic begins. Leo hand draws his amazingly detailed cabinetry. “I have to get the ideas out of my head and on paper if anyone else is going to understand them and fabricated them” the columns in this library will be marble, the mirror is divided into sections because mirror originally was not available in larger sizes. The mirror runs all the way to the floor on both sides off the mantle legs. The carvings will be gilded. This creates a grander look and reflects the opening to the foyer on the opposite wall.

Chasing Shadows. Bronze cherubs are a finishing touch in this guest bedroom. I thought the shadow of the branches in the urn created a magical touch on the wall also!

Magic Touches. Late at night Leo is still working to make sure his client’s interior is ready for their guest. Leo used this vintage painted grape tin for a stunning kitchen island arrangement. The tins were strapped to the pickers backs as they collected the ripe grapes from the vineyard.

Just One Look and I fell so hard, in love. Reclaimed Belgium shop doors open to the guest bath featuring a painted French chest for the vanity/and Paris table cloths for cafe curtains.
