French Gilt Furniture # 2

These divine antique and vintage bergeres, banquettes, beds, vanities and nightstands are one of a kind French gorgeous! And they'd really add some sizzle to a room as these classic pieces have original patinas from being distressed from years of sunlight, love and everyday household use. I love the Louis XV, Louis XVI and French Provincial Designs. They were found throughout Europe and in the French colonies... most are mid 1800's to the early 1950's.

J. Covington As Seen In ACCENT Magazine, Fall 2009

This design project spanned two years and was a true delight. The original house began in 1820 as four over four Cape and over the last 189 years has had several additions... so we had a unique blend of old & modern to work with.

The hilltop perched house is all about land and panoramic views down its 150 rolling acres and out across 72 square miles of Lake Winnipesaukee. And this was one of the factors that Ann and Jerry Calvert wanted us to work with - a color clean house that let the landscape and guests showcase the 'color' and for the living spaces to be more background.



The mid-house open air gallery that leads into the farmhouse kitchen or out and onto the veranda for amazing views.

The living area was done in hues of cream & taupe, with accent pillows of dark brown and animal prints. A wine barrel stave chandelier is suspended mid room while wood framing, a massive stone fireplace and magnificent views anchor the room.

Gothic benches and a series of antique botanical prints invite you to sit and linger in the open air gallery.

The white palette gives the kitchen a feeling of spaciousness and provides a perfect backdrop for Ann's antique ironstone collection. Off the kitchen is a small pub (not shown) and is my favorite room in the house! I hunted down a fabulous collection of wine openers in England for it.

Ahhhh, the perfect place to tip a glass at the end of a day.
