Ever since seeing this antique Ciel de Lit bed canopy that
Wendy Lewis of The Textile Trunk sold earlier (earlier post here)
I have been obsessing slightly over French blues…
indigo fabrics, shutters, doors, tile…
My 18th century French indigo Ikat quilt from Wendy
on top of tasseled pillow and Belgian linen…
Couldn’t resist this two toned antique bobble trim…
Still waiting for it to arrive from France…
want to use it to trim some nubby Belgian linen pillows to
throw along side the Ikat quilt…
Is that a faint touch of blue at the top of the stairs?
Incredible staircase….more of the 16th to 18th century old Dolais

I love the last picture so much! You can see the passage of so many people on those irregular stairs…I can see them in their dresses…so beautiful!
I also love this blue, the indigo blue is fabulous and I love the XVIII th century grey blue from Marie Antoinette
Such eye candy! those steps can tell a thousand tales….great post!
Trish,
The Ikat and the two-toned trim are so fabulous..all very inspiring and a little peek into these gorgeous places makes my heart sing!
thanks!
