The classical period of design pertains to the ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian styles of design. This was extended to both the arts and architecture as well. 

Here we see the influence of that period in the french chateau of designer Juan Pablo Molyneux. His sculpture gallery displays reliefs, casts, a beautiful chandelier (designed by Molyneux himself) and an exquisite plastered ceiling.

Editorial Inspiration - Renewed Life in the Kitchen

Photo: House Beautiful, Nov 2017

Inga Rehmann's provincial inspired design incorporates unconventional pieces in this Arizona kitchen. Give a traditional kitchen a modern feel, by mixing traditional kitchen antiques, like confit pots and butcher's block, with pieces originally meant for other rooms, such as a pair of leather chairs, a trestle table or an oak cabinet.

See Lee's confession to learn more about giving your antiques a renewed life.
