This is the finished room you see in the previous photos. "The Royal Treatment" Leo Dowell wants his clients to share the same excitement and passion he has for searching and finding rare vintage building materials. Their new homes will be be literally built around them. Leo and his client discovered this 19th century French Boiserie wall paneling at a architectural salvage dealer in the Paris Flea Market. The paneling was shipped disassembled. When it arrived, Leo and his staff reassembled the room temporarily in the warehouse just so the client could see them all together. Leo asked his client if they wanted to have a private party in their new dining room with a few of their closest friends to share the beginning of their new Chateau.They agreed. When the clients arrived, they could only see the unfinished backside of the room. All of a sudden, the lights went out/ one of Leo’s assistants turned on a flash light and told everyone to hold hands. She led them through the darkness and knocked on the doors. The doors slowly were opened by a gray haired butler who welcomed the guest back into the 19th century. The room glistened under the shimmering candlelight from the huge chandelier. The butler told the history of the room, made by one of Paris’s most famous cabinet shops in the style of The Petit Trianon complete with original oil paintings still set into the paneling over the doors. If these walls could only talk, there is no telling who might have once dined in this grand hall. The custom made chandelier (which Leo designed from Italian wood tassels on a scrap of paper while he was sitting in one of the alleys at the Paris Flea Market) was hanging above the dining table. This was the first time the clients had seen the chandelier finished. The top of the table was filled with North Carolina barbecue and all of the trimmings. All of a sudden a bell rang off in the distance, the butler said his Master was summoning him and he had to return to the 19th century. He disappeared through an opening in one of the walls into the darkness. The first photos show the room being assembled in the warehouse. The last photo shows the finished room. Have you guessed yet? Leo was disguised as the butler, uniform, wig and monocle! Leo slipped back into his sport jacket, signature bow tie and came back through the main entrance to join the party as himself. Yes, if they were alive today, the Kings and Queens would consider North Carolina barbecue a delicacy.

this amazing leaded glass window would be fabulous in any home or commercial arena. The diamonds and intersecting jewels create such elegance with the scroll border. I used various textures of glass in order to achieve dimension as well as a soft cognac glass in certain areas for sheer elegance.
