Old Things New Home

It’s always interesting reworking your old pieces into a new space.


This massive three arch china breakfront once lined a long dark hall in our city apartment. Now in the country the bulky piece perfectly fills a large wall that was originally an open carriage entrance.


Here an exterior view of the same wall shows the big old rolling barn door still hanging from its antique metal hardware.


For a fresh clean look we’ve curtained the glass doors with simple muslin sheers that hide the piles of shop inventory stowed within. The pleated folds also happen to make a wonderful backdrop for displaying items such as this charming pair of vintage horse prints.
