For CDP Theme Day yesterday, I was showing you the queen of Belgium's red bedroom at the Grand Trianon castle. Let's stay there for another day, the bed and these vases (?) are reflected in the mirror for James' Weekend Reflections.---------------------------------------
Pour le thème du mois d'avril hier, au Grand Trianon, je vous montrais la chambre à coucher de Marie-Louise d'Orléans, reine des Belges. Restons-y encore un instant pour les Reflets du Weekend de James !
A friend of mine said everyone should have a red room. This definitely qualifies. Nice shots, both yesterday and today.
ReplyDeleteThose are vases? They look kind of like funeral urns I've seen here, but fancier. :-) Love the red and blue.
ReplyDeleteSharon
I love these red things. Magnificance and splendour. Be nice to spend the night there.
ReplyDeleteCheers.

It's so clear and so nicely arranged, I thought there were four vases. I live amid quite funky (artistic, in my eyes) furnishings, but I have to say that unlike another commenter, I really could sleep in a room like that! I love seeing these pix and dreaming!
ReplyDeleteThey are massive vases! They would look spectacular with an equally massive flower arrangement in them. Very beautiful and ornate.
ReplyDeleteI like the table, too. One wonders how many hours of labor were involved in putting it together and what the cost was...
ReplyDeleteYesterday's photo was a gem. Today's is even better.
ReplyDeleteJulie would agree with the comment about red rooms. Last year she had some of the walls in our house (in Scottsdale, not the Costa Rica condos) painted a deep Chinese red, and some of the other walls painted eggplant.
Sèvres(?)vases with ormolu mounts! Quintessentially French and oh, so elegant. And a reflection to boot. Lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteSuch elegance in today and yesterday's photos!
ReplyDeleteun peu chargé comme déco ces pots à confiture
ReplyDeleteExquisite, Ciel!
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought the vase were four, so the reflection is realy perfect and deceiving.
ReplyDeleteCe ne sont pas des urnes funéraires ça c'est sûr ! Et que faisait donc là la reine des belges ? C'est une chambre d'invités d'hôtes remarquables ?
ReplyDeleteParce que j'aurais mieux compris pour l'impératrice Marie-Louise archiduchesse pas sèche d'Autriche et mère du petit aigle.
(Oui pas sèche : pas comme la Joséphine)
ReplyDeleteGreat catch! I thought it was 4 also and not the reflections of 2.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter in case I forget in a couple days or don't have time. . .
love the way you use the mirror here, Ciel.
ReplyDeleteC'est beau et riche mais c'est lourd!Heureusement que le miroir allège l'atmosphère par ses jeux de reflets et de lumière!
ReplyDeleteJ'y verrais bien de beaux hortensias jaunes pour le week-end dans ces magnifiques vases!
ReplyDeleteVery elegant. My Mother would approve. She always uses red in a room and she painted her front door bright red and it look magnificent. MB
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen those vases in IKEA!!!!
ReplyDeleteI should think it might take more than a day or two just to find your way out.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to spend another day in such a beautiful room. Is there room service?
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter.
Such opulence and grandeur! I wonder what life would be like in such places...guess I'll never know. Beautiful reflections, Ciel!
ReplyDeleteI like the reality like deception that this reflection gives - you have to really look to see what's reflected and what's not.
ReplyDeleteI have agree with others, it is a beautiful room, however, the mirror creating a deception of more glasses on the tray and expanding the room is the wonderful part of this photo. I really had to look!
ReplyDeleteI commented but I got an error measage. Sorry if this is a duplicate.
ReplyDeleteI basically said that I like the reflection and it's a really fancy room. I can see the headboard and canopy from yesterday's post in the reflection.
Happy Easter!
Des réflections très créatives, en effet. (J'aurais bien aimé avoir des vases pareilles.:)
ReplyDeleteRegarding your comment: the Tulip bulbs are grown in Skagit Valley to be harvested (the bulbs) and sold all over the world. Two farms, Washington bulb company/Roozengard company and DeGeode Farms grow bulbs on a few thousand acres. When the flowers are 4 weeks old the plants are tops and the petals quickly disposed of and then in the mid summer the bulbs are harvested and sold everywhere. You should come here the first part of April and see the valley. HOPEFULLY SEE YOU SUMMERTIME. MB
ReplyDeleteA full-length (mirror) view! This was not for everyone. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteElegant shot. Royalty never wanted for anything did they.
ReplyDeleteVery fancy! I love them but just don't have any place in my home for them. Besides, they make a great reflection where they are!
ReplyDeleteFanciful and great reflections!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice depiction of the room. My wife and have walked through here, of course, but living this way seems so weird - the privileged and pampered in a fishbowl.
ReplyDeleteAt first I didn't realize that there were only two vases. Really nice capture and eye.
ReplyDeleteTrès chic! Je vous souhaite un agréable weekend et Joyeuses Pâques!

Wow, that is quite the opulent room! I like the way you used the reflections in your composition.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photo. It is amazing some people actually lived with this kind of richness every day. Wow!
