{décor inspiration: 70's brass étagère}
. . . always exceptionally fond of sophisticated seventies style on the runways, but had never considered it at home until happening upon this beautiful brass étagère, that works as perfectly as a bar area for pimm's and glassware in the kitchen {above, before & top, after}, or as ingenious storage books and things in the office . . .
