Last year my Mum gave me some money, I decided to buy a bureau and found a neat, flat-pack jobby in a high street store. On the way to make my purchase I passed a charity shop and in the window was this beauty, of course any flat-pack plans fell by the wayside and both bureau and mis-matched chair came home with me.
I love it. It is the most beautiful thing in my house and has made me look at my home with new eyes. I have come to realise that the simple, modern furniture which fills our home, while practical, does not do anything for my spirit.
I want to live in a space that refreshes me, that brings me peace and makes me smile. The bureau has become a catalyst for change in my home and that is the story I hope to tell here.
I would have bought it too!!
Much better than my flat-pack plan!
This is a beautiful piece. It makes me want to re-decorate my house too.
It really has inspired me. It’s helped me to love my home again 🙂
I would rather have a few lovely pieces that I adore than a houseful of furniture that is only so-so. Something tells me you feel the same way.
I think I’ve always been in such a rush to get stuff ‘done’ that I’ve settled for so-so. Life has put the house on hold for a while so this was the perfect kickstart to do home in a new way. I’m very excited about this!
Not only do I love that piece as well as other posters but obviously Mr. or Ms.. Kitty digs it and there can be no higher validation for your choice. Well done!
