Out and About - Christopher Filley, Again


Sometimes I want to keep all the good stuff to myself (you should see the things I don't mention here) but did want to let you know that Christopher Filley has just returned from the home of one of his dear friends and is providing foster care for some of her things.  (You see Faith and Charity above - Hope must be springing eternally somewhere else.)


A full-size chinoiserie bed being one of my favorites.


Hmmm...headboard, footboard and painted rails, too.  "Wouldn't it be great if you could float it in the room?" asked Christopher when I was there.  Indeed.


A pair.


The top.  I mean, really.


And this window, which did not come from the estate, is fantastic.  I've seen its sibling at the home of one of my favorite local designers, backed with mirror, adding depth and sparkle to her patio.  Who couldn't use a little more depth and sparkle?

  2. Hi Patricia, Amazing shop. My life-saver, Roberto, could fix those French night stands in nothing flat. Don't let a little surface patina scare you off.

  4. That window has another sibling at Bottoms Up. No glass, so nothing to remove when you fit the mirror in.

  5. Oh the chinoiserie bed!!! Floating in the room! Yikes!

    My mother had a similar pair of end chests; I think they were Italian marquetry. My brother has them now.....those are worth restoring; in my view! Gorgeous!

    Miles book is to die over. I met him when he was 19 at working at John Rosselli; I could tell he was destined for greatness!

    He put together the "only" catalogue of John Rosselli for me!! A big fat binder! I bet he remembers!

    Delightful guy.....and oh what a talent! Lordy!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a message. I am quite willing to publish remarks that criticize me, but will likely delete disparaging remarks targeted at someone else.
