A Corner in my Home

The plaster busts stare. They never say much, but they take everything in. From their shelves, they admire themselves—caught in the mirror’s reflection—while the Christmas tree twinkles behind them like they’re posing for a holiday portrait. The whole scene gives them a fresh bit of ego, just to make them feel important.

If they could talk, they’d probably roll their plaster eyes and say, “Living with an antique collector is a gamble. Lucky for us we’re big and heavy—otherwise she’d have us rearranged like the shelf across the way.”

  1. Corey these are wonderful. I love that they are not the typical busts (like Apollo) you see at antique shops or auction houses. And I love the way you’ve staged them!

    I love your eclectic taste. It takes a real talent to pull that off and you do it perfectly. I love the busts–the woman with the side curls is my favorite. Thank you for sharing these photos.

    Your house is like a museum. The mirror is wonderful and the gold cross with old vestments is beautiful. That would make a great Easter display. I bought an antique Christmas banner (like those you see in church) from a dealer in France. Cost a fortune but oh so beautiful. I’m smiling at the harp. Honestly, there is no cure for this disease. Enjoy!

    1. No cure. Thanks for the compliments to my brocante bug!

  4. Yes and I like how that man bust is looking at the girl with the side curl.
