Kind of want this thing pictured above and I’m not even entirely sure what it is. Although officially billed as the Sunny Chinoiserie Styled Small Shelf, it looks more like the top of a carousel to me – which is off course modeled off a big top circus tent. In anycase, this antique find is [...]

When I came across a furniture store earlier this week called Fabulous and Baroque, I could hardly wait to feature it on the next Furniture Friday post.
