style at the store...the white parts

this style is so popular here at the store... retail and wholesale...
..i dont have a name for it....
elagant rustic ? european country?
fancy cottage?
vintage shabby chic?
i love this style...and some very creative and adventurous buyers use this style......
its a lot
trash to treasure and
rehabbed....and at least partly antique..
a lot of this goes into stores as store display or store fixtures....
we sold a matching mirror to this big white
one
to a wedding shop , she set it up on a platform for the bride to try on dresses..
so many of our buffets are holding plasma tvs or being used as vanities in bathrooms.... which i hate to think about...
we have a few darling little vanities ring now, with the 3 part mirrors.... usually they go to lucky little girls....my grandmother had one...
the big mirror is probably 1890s
the buffet probably 1920s
and the big potting bench we just made ths summer...

i have to have classic antique lines in most of the things we make....its a modern look maybe but deep roots...

sometimes i look at an old fancy clock or building and see the framework for a cupboard....or see a cupboard and realize...it looks like the supreme court building.... its kind of wierd....how long spindles and crown molding have been around...

if you like the whimsicle side of this style...look here.... i love her site...
