The Land of Fancy... Plumes

This is an enchanting picture... the sassy sourness of chartruse sweeping down the stairs under a pile of elaborately coiffed hair! The dandy in his top hat and jeweled garberdine... all waltzing and light on a staircase that would make anyone queen princessly.

But of course the most glorious thing in the picture, is the bedazzling set of pink plumes that cap the shimmering royal... something! It could be an umbrella, a carriage, or a litter. Whatever it is... I like it!

This picture cooks up the most wonderful child's room in my mind.










It looks like someone else had the same idea. The color pallet of this room is less "sweet" than the picture above. The room was, afterall, designed for a little boy, named Pierre. Reds and navies over a rustic navajo rug tie the room to a "french-esque" reality; while, at the same time, the soaring feathers are trying to drag the whole thing off into the realms of complete whimsy and fancy.

I like it!
