This clue takes us to the elegant Coeur region, with the feel of pre-revolutionary France. Varriale Designs has an extensive collection of romantic furniture and furnishings displayed on its open plaza, within a white canopy, and inside large mansions. The chairs are sculpted and heavily embroidered. China is displayed on white-clothed tables. Artwork is hung within heavy gilded frames. You can even purchase large stone planters already loaded with bushes and flowers.
Wander through the mansions. SkyRyder Varriale, owner and Duchesse de Provence, has created wonderful settings for her furniture that give you decorating ideas for creating the same feel of elegance in your own home. Somewhere within the mansions you’ll find this Black Victorian Screen. It’s a tall, 4 panel screen done in shiny black lacquer. Tole painting of plump blossoms and gold flourishes decorate the screen. This screen adds a touch of elegance and interest to a blank wall in a Victorian style home or can create some privacy or hide an unsightly part of your home.
