enjoying it for a second and third time....probably more and more times. I get so much inspiration from your design ideas. I too am slow and drift away from my plans for the day...smile...I like to paint in watercolors and have several little areas where I like to paint. I have started putting an embroidered tablecloth over my table full of paper and paint to make it look better and out of site but not put away. When I clean up my area of paints it feels sad and discouraging because I don't want to start again. so leaving it all out and covered is how I handle it. It's like a fairy land under a pretty coverlet . ( My handsome cat The Captain , has passed away this year at a very young age of 7...he adored getting a glimpse of your pretty little feline..he told me he hoped to meet her one day ) Thank you for sharing all your beautiful ideas. the mrs. widow of bigjac.

Laetitia! Your room is SO elegant....and you completed all that work in only 13 days. Remarkable. The soft ivory with the quieter gold is indeed very sophisticated. And the way you patched the wallpaper is so professional. It is lovely to see you in your pretty white dress drinking your tea and simply enjoying this wonderful transformation. Thank you, I feel as though I've flown to the other side of the world and peeped in to look!

A tip for when you use masking tape is to first paint with the same paint of the door or wall, let it dry and then go over it with the paint you want to use, in this case gold. It won't leak underneath the tape this way :)

Magnifique!😻Your restoration of the wallpaper is incredible! I am so glad to have found you! What an enchanting World You have Created! I cannot wait to take your classes! My Great Uncle created plaster cornices on ceilings in this style when he first came to the United States. I had some of his drawings long ago; they looked very much like the beautiful pattern on your wall! He also was said to have painted "trompe l'oeil" to decorate walls! I am enjoying catching up on all of Your wonderful videos! Thank You So Much for sharing Your Magic!✨💖🧚‍♀

Oh how beautiful it all looks. Definitely worth the wait. I've been in my home for 5.5 years and had to paint everything before moving in, so I just got white paint and did the whole house. Now I've decided what colours I want so am starting to buy the paints. Your loungeroom looks STUNNING and I love the gold trim. I agree that for a piece of furniture, or anything really, it has to be 100 years old or more to qualify for an antique. Many people get confused with replicas and think because it looks old doesn't necessarily mean it's old. Looking forward your next episode. Hugs Liana 🤗 xx

Thank you !I know the translation in theory is the same. The use though is very different, I replied to another comment below who was wondering why I was saying that, for one simple reason I hear people(including people I know ) miisusing this word along with antiqueshop, ALL THE TIME, confusing antique with vintage with second hand, with "look old" so it is antique I just wanted to clarify somthing which I know is obvious for a lot of people but believe me not everyone ;)

Thank you,I used the same paint than for my wood parts , I know you are not supposed todo that and aaare supposed to use a special paint for the radiator, but it smells horrible when you have the heating on. So instead I use the water based paint, the same than for the wood and even If I will have to redo it maybe realier than with the other one, at least it doesn't smell and is better for the environment :)That's what I did for my other radiators.

Do you find it difficult using gold metallic paint? When I decorated my house similar to Versailles painters in America are not well experienced using it and a good brand is hard to find.

@Merveillesenpapier

9 ай бұрын

I'm of course not a professional, so I did my best but yes I would say it's more difficult , because these paints have to be remixed all the time because of the heaviness of the metallic pigments I suppose which constantly fall at the bottom of the jar. I imagine normal painters wouldn't necesarily know how to do these specific golden paint in the style of 17th , 18th castle decor unless ther are trained for them.

Antique means the same thing everywhere.

I mentioned that because talking to friends and clients from english speaking countries througout the years , I realized quite often they were using this word with a more "flexible " way than us hereand sometimes in a completely wrong way, and were using it very often to talk about a vintage object or piece of furniture which would never receive the words antique here. You check even on you tube there are tons of videos where people misuse this word all the time.It's not all in my mind. Words can be translated the same way theorically and be used pratically in a different way , bread in France and bread in England doesn't mean the same thing.

I have a few projects that need to be completed. Watching your renovations gives me the inspiration to finish so I’m in the process of starting one!
