Vintage Paris Photos

I'm always a sucker for art and fabrics with dark backgrounds. Don't you just love these two images of Paris one hundred years ago?

  3. Wow! Absolutely gorgeous. I'm trying to imagine what color/kind of frame and if you would put a mat around them...? So lovely.

  5. I love this site too, but every time I try to get on and locate images and print, it is so slow and closes up...do you have this problem? Thanks for sharing!

  6. Dina, Yeah, it loads slow for me too, but I'm sure it's just because the images are HUGE. I think it's a 'get what you pay for' sort of thing. Iit doesn't bother me that I have to wait a while for the page to load - cause it's free! :)

    Thanks for the award A Little Luxe! How sweet of you!! xx

    Miranda, I actually would do a white mat/white or gold frame with these. OR! I would print them really huge and frame them in acrylic sheets (so there is not a traditional mat or frame moulding.

  15. So cute! The link made me click on your dining room set up, and it's gorgeous. Do you think you could post a painting tutorial sometime? All of your painted furniture looks so good, while mine always kind of looks... painted. Badly painted. Maybe tips, tricks, tools, types of paint? That'd be so awesome!

  16. I wish the Eiffel Towers lights were still like that now! They look magical.. like it's floating. I'm not a big fan of the sparkling lights they have these days.
