Havre, Belgium Farmstead

An old Farmstead
in Havre, Belgium
The owner and his wife
have lived here since the 1960's
and it is chock full of
delights!

Welcome, browse, like anything?

Antlers anyone?



I could listen to this all day
in pristine condition from Germany



You can see the owner's reflection in the mirror,
wrapping up my purchase!



There are usually icons under these cloches
however
French Vases filled with flowers work too!



Very old, French Reproduction
I love the sweetness



Quite old, Louis XV Style



This is quite large, from England.  I think this would be lovely
as an island in a Farmhouse kitchen



From the Flanders region of Belgium



Vignettes of the Guest Room

The Guest Room



Chinoiserie, Rococo, some down home on the Farmstead...







a few Staffordshire Pups....




and an oil painting or two and I am good to go!





Historic Row House in Brussels

Our Friend likes to find

old discarded

chandeliers and pieces of

chandeliers

at flea markets and brocantes around Belgium

and turn them into

these...

Which are still works in progress

But when finished will be

Glorious!

This house has great hardware!

 This stairwell is fabulous, however my photography skills are not!

Looking into the Garden

Hall mirror to check yourself coming in and going out!

Wonder where the shop Anthropologie gets their ideas...

none other than the countrysides of

Belgium and France

Today this little Belgian Pressed Glass Beauty

holds a tower of limes!



Louis Phillipe Cigarette Set...I think for pencils and my business cards...



A little French Shell Dish for jewlery or soap or...





Sweet.  French Plates...6 of them!
