I found some of these items and was pleasantly surprised.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0tFubS8dBKQ/SZwCoCZuDcI/AAAAAAAAAAc/qcApcQ2zBVw/s1600-h/antoinette+muse+3.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304117347998371266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0tFubS8dBKQ/SZwCoCZuDcI/AAAAAAAAAAc/qcApcQ2zBVw/s320/antoinette+muse+3.bmp" border="0" /></a> I had never really looked at my room so closely before and I was pleased to notice the brass handles of my windows. I thought they were very reminiscent of the extravagant gold leaf of the time.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0tFubS8dBKQ/SZwCn76cewI/AAAAAAAAAAU/IRdUpNNUnxM/s1600-h/antoinette+muse+2.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304117346256583426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0tFubS8dBKQ/SZwCn76cewI/AAAAAAAAAAU/IRdUpNNUnxM/s320/antoinette+muse+2.bmp" border="0" /></a>These are some old perfume bottles that I stole from my mother a while back to paint. Although the results of the painting were atrocious, I still love these bottles. I feel I should tap them and they should make a twinkling sound like a chandelier.<br /><br /><br /><div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0tFubS8dBKQ/SZwCnBg-RyI/AAAAAAAAAAM/MbKGrzBPENI/s1600-h/antoinette+muse.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304117330580490018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0tFubS8dBKQ/SZwCnBg-RyI/AAAAAAAAAAM/MbKGrzBPENI/s320/antoinette+muse.bmp" border="0" /></a> A miniature bust of Josephine, Napoleon's wife, which I got as a souvenir when I was six! I desperately wanted a full size one but that would been a bit too extravagant, even for a modern Marie Antoinette. She may not be Marie, but I love her all the same and find her highly inspirational.</div><div> </div><div><span style="color:#cc66cc;">What do you find inspirational in your home?</span><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5063800355779842037-5014692283905035749?l=frankieantoinette.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Frankie Antoinettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11973666331412863668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5063800355779842037.post-32745321293613993912009-02-18T02:29:00.001-08:002009-02-18T09:52:50.436-08:00Welcome to my annotated project to become a modern Marie Antoinette in the 21st century, living in a world of lavish luxury. I will be taking on various projects in an attempt to emulate her lifestyle before the revolution and would love to share them with you. I hope I inspire others to try it out!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5063800355779842037-3274532129361399391?l=frankieantoinette.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Frankie Antoinettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11973666331412863668noreply@blogger.com0
