I shared some photos of the details of this French vaisselier in a separate post so this post wouldn't be too awfully long. I know y'all are wanting to see it in my home and how I decorated it and I want you to see it, too. I have been wanting to find a piece like this for my sitting room and they were always either way over what I could afford or I would wait and go back to the antique mall and the piece would be gone. Well, finally it all worked out and this is the piece that was meant to be.
ta da
This was okay for many years, but I sure love the new piece a whole lot more.
The blacksmith sign did not even have to be moved. It is on the wall. I know it looks like it is resting on the vaisselier. I had a time trying to figure out what to put on top, but think this is good.
I basically used a lot of what I had in the old bookcase since I did collect all these things for this room.
I shared the story of this photo here.
I first had this little dog next to the trophy.
Then I decided to use my old clock and I love hearing it tick.
Night time.
Pictures really don't do this justice. I wish you could stand in the room and see it. Mr. Savvy and I occasionally walk in here just to look at it.
Have a super week.

Simply gorgeous!!!

Kim- Very nice piece that really suits the room on that short wall. It adds a lot of warmth and ambience! :-) Sue
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous piece and perfect for that room Is there a fun story with how you found it?
ReplyDeleteNow that is a piece that makes my heart stop. my goodness, it is gorgeous and I would stand there looking at it too. What beautiful wood. Love, love, love.
ReplyDeletekim, it is simply stunning! you have it styled so pretty...sometimes it takes a while to find the perfect piece at the perfect price but it looks like your patience paid off.
ReplyDeleteyou did good girl!
That is such a beautiful piece, Kim! It is absolutely a showpiece and I love it. I am glad you found it. I loved your other shelving unit, too, but this one is much "richer" looking in the room. Now grab a cuppa coffee and go stare at it some more- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Kim! How wonderful to have a piece that you love so much!...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteVery European looking, and stunning in your room. I am anxious to see if you keep the checked backing or change it up. You sure scored a timeless piece, great eye for detail Kim.
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful, what a find! And an improvement - so much more you and your space. Thanks for sharing, liz
ReplyDeleteThe new piece is stunning, and you've styled it perfectly-I would never leave this room!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, I didn't think this room could get any better but you've done it! What a beautiful piece for a beautiful room.
ReplyDeletei know i already told you how jealous i was, but totally in a good way! do you just sit in the room fawning over its exquisite beauty & relish in the fact that it's in your home? i may have to award you with the find of the year ;)
ReplyDeleteIt looks so wonderful in your room! I can understand why you and the Mr. just stop and stare at times!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful piece! Love the way you have styled it too!
ReplyDeletestunning piece and looks perfect in your home.
ReplyDeleteWow... what a beauty!!! Looks gorgeous! What a keeper that one is!
ReplyDeletegosh thats beautiful, I love this,
ReplyDeleteIt's like it was made for that spot Kim! I always thought the room looked pretty before but now it is 100 times better! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteKim that piece is GORGEOUS and your accessories are perfect!! Love the pretty night shot, so cozy!
ReplyDeleteWOWZA...this piece was so meant to be for that room Kim. Just gorgeous!~ Did the other one sell for you yet?
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, pictures do not do it justice...it is so "magnifique" in person!!...but then again, if I had not been fortunate enough to see this in person, the photos you took are stunning....I think if that piece were in my home, I would also walk by it all day long admiring it, passing my hand over that gorgeous wood....I know that this vaisselier was meant to be in your room...and the beautiful little girl "Eclair" so proudly approves!
ReplyDeleteA great statement piece, Kim! And never paint it!!! Styled nicely too.
ReplyDeleteThat has to be one of the most stunning pieces of furniture I've ever seen! It is so deserving of your love and attention ... not to mention the beautiful "dressing" it now wears.
ReplyDeleteDiane
It is a beautiful piece Kim! You decorated it perfectly too. It looks like something out of a Charles Faudree book!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!!! That is beautiful! I love it and you styled it perfectly!
ReplyDeleteThat is a stunning piece, Kim! I just love it and it fits that spot perfectly. I don't blame you for just going in there and looking at it ~ I would, too! I love how the fabric back works so well with what you have going on in this room, too.
ReplyDeleteoh, Kim, it is FABULOUS! I'm so glad it worked out for you as it is perfect in that spot, and looks amazing with your treasures on it. So glad you're not planning to paint it. I love that room you have it in, and the English Country vibe going on in there. It may just be my favorite room of yours. Of course, there's the sunroom, the dining room, oh and your bedrooms. Nope, can't pick a favorite =)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous piece... it is stunning and a perfect fit in your home.
ReplyDeleteKim.... that is stunning. I can see why you wanted that for that spot, changes the whole look - you know your stuff! Maybe I can't pronounce the proper way to say what that piece is, but I know how to say beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBliss
It's just gorgeous! I don't think you could've picked out a better piece of furniture for that room. I love the lamp you added to it also.
ReplyDeleteSigh! What a beautiful piece! I love the detailing of it, and you decorated it perfectly! I'm sure it really adds character and interest to that room. :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Leslie
It is truly perfect for your room, Kim. It has 'weight' and just the right amount of patina - anything too delicate or 'dressy' would have been wrong. This looks like it's always been there. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. I think I might sit and stare at it all day too :) You have styled it perfectly!
ReplyDeleteJust fabulous! You scored on this big time! I would be going in there frequently just to enjoy it too!
ReplyDeleteI love how you decorated it.
It really is just PERFECT, Kim...everything.about.it. Sure worth the wait!
ReplyDeleteOh Kim, it's just beautiful! And with all of your lovely touches it looks as though it was made for that room!
ReplyDeleteKat

Congratulations for your hutch and for your photos!
Besos, Silvina
Oh Kim, it truly is GORGEOUS!!! I want to sit here and just look at it. Right now they are installing the carpet runner on our steps and I am hating it right now and don't even want to look at it. I am hoping I grow to like it but right now I could burst into tears. Sounds pretty stupid, huh. I would stand there all day and look at your new piece, it is PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!! XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely piece of furniture...so perfect in your sitting room. Decorated beautifully!

ReplyDeleteKim,

A beautiful piece! Is that fabric in the back?
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Just gorgeous, Kim. It looks like it was made for that area. Really brings some old world french charm to your sitting room. Love it!
ReplyDeleteKim, that piece is just gorgeous and is the perfect fit for that room! I love it!
ReplyDeleteTotally Gorgeous!!! XO, Aimee
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful...the piece, the staging, all of it....you really scored!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous - that's all I can!! Just beautiful. Love the way you decorated it.
ReplyDeleteJudy
Oh what a beautiful piece! Looks wonderful in your room and you've displayed everything so pretty. I understand what you mean by going in to look at it.... I bought a hutch not too long ago and I don't know how often I would just walk by and admire it.
ReplyDeleteIt is a stunning piece and I love the way you have it decorated. Truly gorgeous. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, marty
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh this piece of furniture is stunning. You have some beautiful things to decorate it with, they all make the piece so inviting and warm.

ReplyDelete-Shelley
Gorgeous, Kim! It was meant to be in your space! I love how you styled it, too!
ReplyDeleteKim that is a gorgeous piece and it looks perfect in your home!!! You are one lucky girl! Yes I agree it was meant to be! I too LOVE the sound of a ticking clock.I don't know why.But when the house is quiet I love that sound!

Anne
Oh my heart be still!!!! Kim, that is absolutely perfect!!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous piece, Kim! You have it styled beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThere is truly nothing prettier than a French Vassilier! So glad you shared this! may have to share it myself! We sell them quite often but never get to see them in their homes! This is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous, Kim. So rich and elegant looking. You can't beat the beauty of solid and quality wood like that piece.
ReplyDeleteKim-Your piece is absolutely gorgeous. I could tell by the hints that it was going to be one of these french antique pieces. My friend has one similar to yours, a dessert server, and just bought a beautiful mantel, all french antiques. And I agree with you, these are not pieces you paint. Thanks for sharing, I just love your home. Blessings Paula
ReplyDeleteThis piece is gorgeous, Kim! It fits that spot perfectly, and you styled it just beautifully. And hey, I learned a new word, though I won't even attempt to spell it. ;D
ReplyDeleteOh I absolutely love it!! So gorgeous and so perfect in your room!!
ReplyDeleteThat piece is stunning. I want to run my hands over it, but that sounds a little weird. It just seems like it would have a great patina and warmth to it. She's a keeper for sure!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful room! I love the books, the dog statues, and the trophies and bowls all intertwined! I also love the hanging sign and the riding hat! Perfect finishing touches!... Donna
ReplyDeleteI am speechless ( not a usual for me) But your new piece is beautiful!!! That was an awesome find. The books and trophies, statues and especially the clock, luv the ticking as well. Listening to one as I type :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
Cheers, Gee
Stunning!
ReplyDeleteIts so gorgeous Kim and you have styled it perfectly!! Love! :-)
ReplyDeleteVanessa
I do not have to tell you, but this is one of the prettiest pieces I have seen in a very long time. I would not have known the name, but whatever beautiful is in french is what I would have called it. I can't imagine a more perfect piece, and I totally understand why you would walk in and just gaze upon it. LOL By the way, did you add the wallpaper in the back. If so, perfect pattern. It is displayed to perfection. Lucky, lucky you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Kim! It's the perfect piece for your gorgeous home!!
ReplyDeleteYour new piece is just gorgeous and you've showcased it beautifully with the things you've collected over time. I especially love the old photo you found inside.
ReplyDeleteOh my, Kim. I just love it. I would walk in to stare at it too.
ReplyDeleteLaura
OHHHH My goodness.... beauty for sure. I would NEVER paint it. EVER...NEVER... NEVER......
ReplyDelete~ Lisa from Indiana ~
PS... I'm soooo envious.
Its beautiful!! I have always liked this room, and I think it was a proper upgrade~what a difference!
ReplyDeleteWow! Kimmie, this piece is gorgeous and what a big statement it makes. Love how you've ressed it too.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia;)
That is a lovely piece of furniture and it makes an already stunning room even better. Looks like some of the pieces I see you pinning sometimes very French. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThat wood is amazing! Love the way you styled it.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful piece!
ReplyDeleteI saw your preview on Facebook and I couldn't wait to see it in your house. This truly is and exceptional piece of furniture. I'm so glad you aren't going to paint it!! I think it would scream in pain! Isn't it wonderful when you wait and wait and then the perfect thing comes along...the fact your husband loves it makes it all that much better. I just love it!
ReplyDeleteI thought of you Saturday. We have a new shop here and everything is either antique or new from England...I hope to get some pictures at their open house this weekend.
Kim it's absolutely gorgeous! Such an amazing piece. It looks perfect in the room and you've accessorized it wonderfully too. Congrats on a great score!
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Kim
Lovely Kim!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Susan and Bentley
Oh Kim, that is such a beautiful piece of furniture. I think it blows away what you had before. You've styled it PERFECTLY! I love all of your old books and figurines. LOVE LOVE LOVE this!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! You did a great job styling it!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely. Rich elegant patina! Your styling looks great.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how a French piece can elevate the room to new heights? I love it, Kim. I think the antique lamp is perfectly at home here.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, that piece absolutely took my breath away from the first picture. You must be so happy with it. Is that fabric on the back? Did you do that? Or was it already there? I love how you styled it. I just love everything about it. The original piece was lovely, but you hit it out of the park with this one. Well done!
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Your styling of this piece is gorgeous, Kim. I love the old books and the tarnished silver trophies--so pretty together.
ReplyDeleteKim...that is a stunning piece and I am sure you will have it for years. It just adds so much character to the space. I love how you styled it! What a find.
