It is so beautiful. Would you be willing to share who who made the applique or trim? A: Good morning the bedspread was made by Patricia Andrade - p.andrade0187@sbcglobal.net. It is a blue velvet and the pattern on top was cut out from a standard fabric that is now discontinued. Good luck with your project. **Q: is that bed an antique? if not who makes it?** *(in Photo Questions)* Would like to know who makes that bed if it’s not an antique. Thanks! A: Hi Erin The bed is antique... 18th Century Portuguese. I don't know of anyone who makes them.. in any case, I would always suggest buying an original antique, and if necessary, have it restored / modified to the mattress size you want. You will have an antique piece and cheaper than having a copy made or trying to find someone who makes them. I have made the exercise and an antique was less expensive than having another one made with good / noble woods. I have imported several Bilros bed in the past 6 years. Let me know if you need any help sourcing an antique bed. **Q: what is the door colour please** *(in Photo Questions)* love it A: thank you for the question. the color you see is not a flat color but a process that consist of bleaching, a initial color, second color and 3 layers of different glazing. was a custom process for this specific project. good luck with your project. **Q: Love the kitchen cabinets** *(in Photo Questions)* Would you please tell me the name and maker of these cabnets? where can I order it? A: sure, you can look at my website. we do all cabinets custom. **Q: Were these cabinets inset or full overlay?** *(in Photo Questions)* These cabinets are gorgeous. They look inset but this pix makes me think they are full overlay. Which is it. A: The cabinets are full overlay. Regards Antonio **Q: Can you tell me what kind of paneling those are on the wall?** *(in Photo Questions)* I’m looking for beadboard but love the thicker panel walls... where can I find this? A: Good morning The paneling was original to the house. But i believe you can find similar at any good wood supplier. Good luck with your project. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
