ANTHROPOLIGIE: $1,500 Before I ever saw these amazing creations, from Zoe Williams, I made my own modern version of a taxidermy piece. I created the look with my recycled aluminum antelope head and used an ornate frame to represent the mount. |
My taxidermy creation (See Below) $43.00! |
ANTHROPOLOGIE : $498 I found an ornate mirror like this... |
at an antique store that I frequent for... $23.00!!! |
I popped out the mirror and knew I wanted to paint the frame... |
I spent a couple bucs on spray paint when I realized later that it needed to be painted the same color as the mantle below. The spray paint was a little bit "creamier" then I would have liked and using the semi-gloss mantle paint looked perfect and didn't take away from the traditional mantle where it is hung at the Richmond Designer House. |
This was the plan for the accent wall, fireplace wall, at the Designer House. I was going to redo the original tiles with these stainless steel tiles. I am so glad I didn't! The Kartell Ghost Chairs that are placed in front of the fireplace are a perfect way to show off the traditional tiles with a modern twist! I can't reveal the Designer House room just yet! There are a couple more weeks of tours and we would love to have you stop by. We are having a blast! Have a good one! Melis |
