French Reds! Moulin Rouge Decorating

Red is a powerful color.  If you have ever considered using red in your design layouts, the best way to use it, in my humble opinion, is to use just a touch of it.

Red evokes a strong emotional reaction.  If you are looking to de-stress, don’t paint your living room walls with it.

Although, on the other hand red really can command attention.  Ideally, you could consider a lacquered red chest and feature it as a center piece in a room.

Vintage French Provincial Dining Set with 6 Blue Upholstered Louis XV Chairs

This lovely vintage French Provincial dining set includes an extendable dining table with 2 leaves and six Louis XV chairs.

The table features a white washed finish with gilt details and fluted legs topped with carved rosettes. The table top is a medium stained wood and durable, shiny finish. The table has 5 legs, which provide added stability when the table is extended. The table is 66″ long, 42″ wide, and 30″ tall without the leaves. The table comes with 2 leaves that are 17.5″ wide, which can extend the table to a total of 101″. Each table leaf comes with its own cloth protective bag. The table is in good condition with wear commensurate with age. The table top has a few minor marks, and the table base could benefit from a nice new coat of white paint, but totally usable as is. The table comes with 6 Louis XV style chairs, including 2 arm chairs and 4 side chairs. The chairs have lovely carved details, a white washed finish that matches the table, and light blue laminated fabric in good condition. The fabric wipes clean and is easy to maintain. Like the table, the chairs could use a fresh coat of white paint, but are in good condition as is with solid frames and comfortable seating.
