Crown Me!

I found this beautiful picture on Brooke Giannetti's Velvet and Linen.

Brooke's bedroom

It got me thinking about how much I love crowns in the bedroom.

Julie Neill designed this fabulous bed!

the fabulous Julie Ponze Director of Sales

Right after I saw Brooke's flawless photo, I got one of those tacky home decor catalogs in the mail, and lo and behold there were quite a few crowns there ranging in price from $139. - $445.

Not the tacky catalog

Now they certainly don't do justice to the one Brooke has in her room, but with a little fiddling around and some smoke and mirror treatment, I think you talented vamps could work it.

$139.

Years ago you could only find antique pieces if you were lucky. Now it's kind of nice to find reproductions in the marketplace.

Even though some of these seem a little shiny and new, I think you could fix that.

One nice thing about the reproductions, is that they have proper brackets for hanging.

It's in my bedroom ha ha

My bedroom again, with a more modern version of French
I kept the crown hanging over the Carlo of Hollywood painting

I recently got a hostess gift from Julie Neill! It's a crown! I love the toile tissue paper.

I hung it from the bottom of a chandelier in my bedroom. Now I have a crown trifecta! The top of the old chandelier is a crown shape.

So get yourself a crowned today!
