Her Crowning Glory ( and another one arrived )

Good morning all!

I finally finished the mirror that goes with the princess

I had this old mirror that I've tried to imagine on many many pieces - but it was usually just a little too large
( this dresser is wider then it appears )

Suzan says - John where's that shield shaped mirror
John says - Aw come on - you're not going to stick that on top of this dresser?
John says - You'll ruin it
John says - I don't know why you bought it - it looks like a horses A$$
Suzan says - can you bring it upstairs please?

Now those of you with eyes that actually work - will notice the 2 sides are not the same on the bottom part of my mirror -
Being someone who's eyes DO NOT work - I never noticed it - even as I painted it - I never noticed it until the next day actually -
How is that possible, you ask?
I don't have a clue - but it's a little scary, don't you think?

It was a very quick fix - John sawed off some wood on one side to make them the same...........

ahhh that's better - now what do you think - I personally think it looks like a crown
and not what John thinks at all - who's on my side on this one?

and we picked up this pretty little thing

As I type this I haven't seen it in person yet -
but I couldn't resist...............

Have a great Thursday - one and all!
Much love,

Suzan

I WANNA live there # 42

I live in a pretty incredible area - in Montreal, It's an historical neighbourhood loaded with tons and tons of charm - and 20th century architecture, just steps away from the city center, it's also a pretty expensive neighbourhood ( in which I live in servants quarters basically compared to what I'm surrounded by ) 

Because there are days I don't have furniture makeovers to show you - I've chosen Wednesdays to showcase and feature one or two homes that are for sale around here.................( or apartment - or duplex - or teepee )
Keep in mind this is in the heart of the city - so the prices reflect that  - think Manhattan - where these places would cost 3 or 4 times what they're listed for here!
On occasion I'll showcase beautiful homes in other areas - countries - continents - the one thing most of them will have have in common will be their age - because I love old homes with stories to tell, join me won't you?

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Series within a series - I plan on doing a mini-series ( like North an South ) within the I WANNA live there series just for these homes - they're so spectacular they deserve to have their own!

Antebellum Homes 
Antebellum architecture (sometimes spelled ante-bellum, meaning "pre-war", from the Latinante, "before", and bellum, "war") is the neoclassical architectural style characteristic of theSouthern United States, especially the Old South, from after the birth of the United States in theAmerican Revolution, to the start of the American Civil War.^{[1][unreliable source?]} Antebellum architecture is especially characterized by neoclassical and Greek revival style plantationhouses and mansions

When I was just a little bitty baby my Mama would rock me in the cradle 
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana ( just about a mile from Texarkana )

AND this is included in the price???
I'm shaking my head so much I have a headache - I'm in total disbelief here

not only do I want this house - but I want that secretary to be included as well
and check out that gorgeous wood front door!

I want to gracefully float down those steps like Scarlett O'Hara
Is anyone old enough to remember this skit from the Carol Burnett Show?

This fireplace is quite spectacular
