In some blog posts far, far away, I started to modify and decorate a French style skybox. This is a continuation of that series.
I'm back! Holy shit, it's been over a year. I had no idea it had been that long, but there you go. The blog posts mentioned above are all the way back from when I started this blog back in 2021. If you're interested in reviewing those, I'll link them down below:
All the renovations I did at the time to the Lueur skybox from Varonis I recreated when I reset this skybox up, but everything else is different regarding the surround, the window boxes, and the decor and furnishing that I started working on.
I was going to do the whole shebang in one HUGE post, but you know...the credits were just too much. I had to break out Excel to sort everything by room, and that's when I figured I'd do it in three parts. Entryway and Bathroom, Living Room, then Kitchen and Bedroom to wrap things up.
So, the vibe I was going for was a rainy Paris autumn night, with soft lighting, inviting fireplaces, and deep shadows. Of course, if I did the pictures in that lighting things would be hard to see, so I made the decision to brighten things up. I went for elegant decor, lots of gold frames on everything, velvet couches with chenille knit pillows, and soft blankets, vintage fixtures in the bathroom...well, you'll see.
So let's start out with the Entryway. The main focus of this space is of course the gallery wall. I thought this was a great way to decorate and add visual interest without adding a lot of clutter to such a narrow hallway. But I did want to add a small bench and coatrack to make it welcoming.
I am a total packrat, and rarely get rid of anything I buy, so there's a chance through these posts that some of the items I used are from stores that have closed, or are no longer available, but I'm sure if you find something you like that can no longer be purchased, I'm sure someone somewhere has something comparable.
And now, on to the credits. With the credits, I list everything the best I can. If there are multiple items for the same store, I only link the SLURL/Marketplace store on the first one, because doing them all is tedious, and frankly unnecessary. As always, if you have any questions about anything, please hit me up and let me know! I love getting feedback from my readers...if I have any, anymore that is.
