If you're a long-time follower you know that I have a "thing" about many things. This post speaks to my thing with plaster heads, aka plaster busts, and patent leather.
When we renovated our kitchen I found a corner that was perfect for my favorite patent leather chair and some artwork.

You probably recognize the vintage framed art that travels around my home. It's made appearances in many places during this blog adventure.

Next to the chair is my patent leather plinth. I'll confess that it's really high gloss paint. Humor me please. I topped the plinth with some books and added one of my many plaster busts.

I believe that this gentleman had previously been attached to a body. His loss is my gain.
If you're ready to accuse me of creepy decor you'll have to get in line. My design choices are frequently the butt of family jokes. I recently did get my revenge when I found his twin resting on some books in a magazine photo from House Beautiful. Gotcha!!!!

Do you have home decor that you love and hang on to in hopes of finding just the right spot? I do. This sunburst mirror is one of those special pieces. It found its MAYBE forever spot layered over the dining room window . My mantra is that if you love something you will EVENTUALLY find it its perfect location. I'm not telling how many pieces in waiting I have; so don't ask.

It casts a great shadow too. FYI, we are not alcoholics.
