First light...

I'm in love with the term,
Victorian Tribal Salvage...not savage, but salvage...
I'm also in love with windows...

For me, the window and the light it reflects into a room,
totally reflects where I place my furniture
and the first light of the morning
sets my mood for the day.

When TOT and Craigsmith were here, I was telling Theresa
that I just couldn't make this piece work in my living room,
but now that I've moved it next to the stairway
I love it, it reflects the light from the window in the first picture
and blends with the old grey paint of the parlor table
and lace curtain...well DUH!!!
And the dark objects inside the cupboard reflect Victorian
and tribal...taxidermy!

and more salvaged treasures near my Navaho rug
given by a dear friend from Colorado,
a' Two Grey Hills', if anyone knows their Indian rug makers...

I also pulled out of storage my beloved spool cabinet...
why,
because it displays my maiden name...
and PARIS...

Who knew...
but what a perfect piece to set my grooming schedule book,
so very Victorian
and ME!!!
