This blog was mostly created for the purpose of sharing my discoveries and personal creations related to my own private study of medieval furniture and interiors. Along the way I have also included other things that I have done or been working on, including a renaissance table and the rococo rooms and furniture that I have been working on for the past three years. (Yes, amazingly, it has been that long since I began that project.) It has been quite some time since I have posted anything on this blog, because I have been very busy, and I have done nothing related to the Middle Ages for months. However, due to an increasing cacophony of 'wondering what I have been up to', I thought I would quickly put up some pictures of what I have been working on since the summer began.
All of this work was not performed by myself entirely. I functioned partly as a conductor; designing, demonstrating, and orchestrating the production of the various components what went into this job, and then working exclusively to install and finish everything once it was ready.

Newly refurbished foyer. This was the second phase. In phase on, I had done the faux marble panels and the mirror and consoles. |

One of four carved panels for the railing |

For comparison, here is the foyer as it stood in June |

Two more views, showing the other three painted panels and railings |
In addition I went to Dubai and engaged an embroidering company to hand stitch the fabric for some new benches in the passageway; I also did some wall sconces and girandoles for the walls. This room was largely finished already, but I had always intended to add the benches and wall-mounted objects.

Just a reminder of when I had just begun Feb. 2016 |

Completed passageway with benches etc installed |

The fabric as it was delivered to my hotel room and the bench, edited in Photoshop by myself, as presentation to the client before it was shipped |

A bench in Versailles which I photographed on my visit there and which served as the inspiration for the one I made. (mine is 30 per cent smaller) |
