The other day, a friend and I wandered into Eclectic Treasures, at 731 San Benito Street, a new home furnishing store that opened in September. The owner sells unique furniture, rugs, and other decorative items imported from all parts of the world. The piece in the above photo was made in Peru out of wood from the Amazon forest. The wood felt very smooth.
I noticed the detailing of the ceiling tiles that I didn't recall as having been there in the previous store. The woman in the shop told me that they were the original tiles and that she had an unpainted one hanging on the wall, which the owner of the building gave her. Gorgeous isn't it?
There are a few other old buildings in town that have a white ceiling with a similar textured look like the one at Eclectic Treasures. I wonder if intricate painted-over tiles line the ceilings of those buildings, too. Can you imagine how a ceiling might look with those tiles not painted? Wowza!
Here's the ceiling at Eclectic Treasures. Go check it and the home decor and furnishings for sale yourselves.
I like the look of the cabinet! It looks like an old piece although I'm sure it isn't.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was an old piece, too. Or, one that someone had made to look old. But, it's a new handcrafted piece, according to the shop person.
