Some rather glorious things have happened around chez Bijou these past few days.
For one, Meredith {who PS, continues to amaze me with her glorious talent on an hourly basis} came by on Friday to deliver some art fantastic to #PKG.
I give you Griffin and Wong hand painted silk chinoiserie fabulousity...
And because I definitely owe you some kitchen photos, a little sneak peek of the gorgeous panels all hung up...
I know, I know...a total tease.
I'm sorry.
More soon- promise, promise.
In the meantime, I have to show you some more of the brilliance that is Griffin and Wong's portfolio.
And a few installations...PS, I'd give up most things for an entire room plastered in this beautiousness...
Heaven.
Now, on to the second happy house addition.
I'd like to officially announce that my 3 year old now has a bed.
And it's glorious.
I want it for myself actually...it's a cocoon.
I bought the bed from my favourite local antique shop...Turner Chapel Antiques.
My friends think it's funny that when I tell my kids we're going out, the first thing they ask is if we're going to the antique place...perhaps this happens because I've been frequenting this shop nirvana about twice a week for the past few months.
It's just REALLY fabulous.
I bought the bed for $300...yes you heard that right.
It's a 200 year old solid pine bed from Germany...with all it's chips, and nicks and imperfection...it's my definition of perfection.
And the best part, it has those amazingly giant side rails that mean my 3 year old isn't rolling out of it anytime soon.
As well, it's almost a standard twin (just a few inches short,) which is almost impossible to find in an antique bed...all we had to do was have a piece of MDF cut to size for the matress to sit on...we bought an IKEA foam matress that was able to squish in more than a standard one could and voila...bed heaven.
As you can see, I also added Instagram to the mix over the weekend...can you save LOVE IT!!!
Just to finish off this very long post...a few pictures of our roadtrip to teenager concert/my parents house...
Road.
Scarlett and Lola.
Malcolm {with his new 'boy' haircut that I'm not at all sure about- so sad that all his baby curls are gone...combine this with us taking apart his crib last night...crying mommy} and teenager Natasha hiding in the third row.
Moi.
Fun picture taking.
And with that, I'm off.
I have a little DIY project {that PS, I'm not doing myself} happening today.
It involves a trip to a IKEA and then a visit to Beresford Inc...more on that soon.
Kisses etc.

So much beauty all in one post. I WANT TO SEE MORE OF THE KITCHEN! Looks totally done, loving those panels, soo beautiful...I am unabashed about my feelings on chinoiserie, one of my most favorite things in the world...would give up furniture to have a room plastered in it, would just lay down on the floor and stare at it all day.
ReplyDeleteAnd can we talk about how cute your kids are and how amazing their eyes are!!!!!!!!!
Loved this- congrats on all the goodness.
Such a beautiful painting - I'm sure it makes your kitchen look even more magnificent (if that's possible!). Love your kiddo's bed too! You have a gorgeous family; sounds like you had a wonderful weekend xo
ReplyDeletethose panels are amazing. so so so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteand i can't wait for the green and gray to get all up in mac's room.
My Gram's house in brooklyn has Gracie wallpaper from the 70's. You would DIE.

Love the panels, love the bed, love it all. Can't wait to see more of the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteThe art is beyond gorgeous. Wow, wow and wow!!
ReplyDeleteYou are a total tease. I love that you are getting your kids started early on finding the treasures. it is all going to look so good and can't wait to see the reveal so that i can drool all over my computer screen.
ReplyDeletethat bed is so good! everything looks great, of course.
ReplyDeleteI am very interested in this matter and I myself do a lot of research as well. This blog has definitely changed my perspective on this subject. Artistically designed, so they will make very attractive.
ReplyDeleteThat panel is beyond beautiful! Yes, Christine, I know I am DYING to see your kitchen!!! I am sure everyone else is itching for the reveal too! xo
ReplyDeleteMeredith is seriously talented. I can't wait to see the magic you two have cooked up together! Love the bed - why don't people make these anymore? Such a great transitional piece... My "baby" is seven, and each milestone she passes I have a little moment, why do they grow up so fast? x
ReplyDeletePanels. Panels. Whaaa....I think I blacked out.
ReplyDelete;)
What a gorgeous panel! I can't wait to see the kitchen in all of it's glory!
ReplyDeletethis post reinforced why i think you are kinda a badass... and apparently, it runs in your DNA because your kids look pretty cute, too. but maybe it's due to the fab-o bedrooms you make them. idk. :)
ReplyDeleteI too love De Gournay Wallpaper:

I really enjoyed this interior design subject. Maybe changing colors and adding a lot of functionality to. But it is really good at the home painting. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine~
ReplyDeleteI just discovered you blog and have been pouring through the posts. Love it!! Can you tell me what the leopard print fabric is that you used on the pillows on Mac's bed? I'd love to use it in my son's big boy room :)
