Add these cheeky references to trompe l’oeil to the list of personal projects I have been sitting on and thinking about and will likely never do. But it’s oh so cute! And I should add that my entryway is a crazy steep staircase where I put a pair of shoes on each stair, like gargoles. Beware the Campers guarding my hall!
I also like the idea of painted electronics and larger items that I don’t own, or whimsical critters that aren’t (thankfully) in my house. A painted gramophone? A mouse hole? A little bat on the high ceiling? Give me a can of black paint and a small brush and I’m off! Who has a steady hand and wants to help?
This is from some dressing room in Paris, I’ve lost the reference.
P.S. I have a real trompe l’oeil project (Franch for fools the eye, an optical trick) that is so tacky you’ll freak. Coming soon.
