Cupboard Love



A lot of ancient conveniences of daily life — such as cupboards — have all but disappeared from the rooms of the palace of Versailles where courtiers had them made to order, removed or refitted almost on a daily basis during the Ancien Régime. Today, I am eager to equip those rooms and appartments with those much needed cupboards and have them rebuilt where the ancient plans show they once stood.

Today’s cupboard will be fitted not far from the stairs shown in yesterday's post, in a very small new project that is going on right now.

More coming soon, hopefully!


A big thank you to J. C. de Frontenac who helped me with installing the new cupboard!

Staircase Spirit



These unostentatious stairs have been made today and delivered for a new small projet on the grounds of the domain. More coming soon?
