Words can hardly express the love I feel for rusty forged iron furniture and architectural pieces. Offering such elegance and beauty, scrolly iron transfers any room or building into a timeless masterpiece. Well thats my opinion anyway lol. Someday I will fill my home with pieces just like these. I don't think a person can have too many scrolls in their life and the more patina the better ;)


p.s Thank you to everyone who so thoughtfully sent me get well wishes. I am back, healthy, strong and ready to continue my education in the wonderful world of design. I've missed you all immensely and I can't wait to catch up on all your brilliant blogs.

Oh I do adore scrolly furniture, gates, architecture etc etc. Have quite a little collection of my own but I think you have to be in Qld to find the best outdoor furniture! Hope you are feeling much better too.
