Monthly Tips Announcement

Hello Dear Readers I hope the holiday season is treating well.

I have a small announcement which will be changing the monthly tips articles from now on.

I've noticed that by the time I get around to posting the monthly tips, it is much to late to plan and do many of them. Taking a cue from magazines and other media, I thought I should post the monthly tips a month is advance so that if anyone wants to they can start planning. I hope this is helpful to you if you have any more suggestion to better this blog please comment in the section below, I am happy to hear your feedback. Thank you!

Lolita Palace: Versailles Part Deux

Bonjour mes amis!

In continuation of Lolita Palaces: Versailles, lets begin!

Versailles is built during the time of reason and came into the hand of Louis VXVI and Marie Antoinette toward the end of the Enlightenment Era. The French fashion featured both opulence and organization, just look at the gardens: perfectly manicured and luscious!

I wish we all had palaces to recreate Versailles, but until then lets embellish our current spaces!

Start with color: If you can paint the walls, then run to you nearest paint store and load up on pasteles: blues, pinks, yellows, creams If you like Marie Antoinette al Sophia Coppola candy pastels will suit your fancy! Corals, brighter pinks silver blues you imagination is your palette

For a more true to history feel why not try Wallpaper?

This sample makes me think of Marie's bedchamber walls.

Can't dramatically transform your walls how about a gorgeous canopy bed or damask fabric panels behind your headboard?

Or like this? (click picture of link to tutorial)

Next up the style of the Age of Reason, be back soon!

Why did I choose Versailles? Simply because it is gorgeous, from the perfectly manicured gardens to the magical hall of mirrors. Versailles is definitely a big contender for Lolita Palace number one most beautiful. Plus its a home fit for a Queen.

Now how can we get such splendor into our homes? This will come in the next article so keep an eye out!
