Lussier's Creamy Cabinet


Here we go, the reoccurring theme of green and white.

Hanging cabinet, chocked full of creamware and Chinese export porcelain. Hard to argue with that.

    What I find fascinating about this cabinet is that it was obviously the top section of a "deux corps" but has become the center point of the room. And it is gorgeous and perfect in its imperfect state. I love the color chosen for the interior. My great grandmother's beloved secretary bookcase would look fantastic in that pale sea green and creamy white....Huuuummmmmmm. I think I feel a project coming on--can't stand the secretary the way it is, but painted? We'll see. I have loved this series of posts--thanks, Mary

    This must be a requisite tear sheet for any self respecting design devotee. I love that color. pgt

    I do like that green and white but I'm not sure what to think of the whole trend of painted furniture -- reminds me of my youth when you antiqued things (olive, blue red, yellow) -- lots of good furniture got painted!

    loving that nymphenburg (yes?) statue of the couple. Also interesting how all the colors are identical - so often the glazes are different shades. quite the collection!

    Mrs B-

    So exquisite. I've always admired his very refined sensibility.
    (Note to PVE--you mentioned 'ague'...and I wonder if you meant algae or something else I am swirling around in the mind. I may be missing something but the last time I read Shakespear...an ague was an ache, like a tooth ache or 'feeling the ague' meaning aches and pains. Please ellucidate...I am intrigued.)

    Beautiful selection here...cheers, DIANE
