{two lovely things: same room, different light}
Monday 10th May, 2010

. . . happened across these photographs quite by accident and weeks apart, drawn to the striking combination of grand chandelier and gilt mirror, only to discover they were of the same room, in different light — the first, warm rays and soft greys with a glimmer of gold, and the second, a more casual, rustic elegance, in deeper shades of slate and cobalt — the difference is like spring and autumn . . .
{p.s.} more two lovely things

Wish I had glasses to see/feel life through the second photograph’s way.

That’s too funny – I have never seen that first photo before, but the lighting certainly makes the bedroom look and feel different than the second.
wonderful room and interesting to see the difference
Chandelier in the bedroom = a must … can’t wait to be reckless with my money one day! Love this room
So gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

The changing light is incredible isn’t it ? The reason all those great artists gravitated to Provence. My preference is for the room in the second picture – moodier & more mysterious but it is a fabulous room in whichever light. Julie.
I love the lighting in the second one. So dreamy! :)
shoes how lighting can change a photo so much <3 these are lovely, i prefer the second lighting actually. and you’re so right it’s just like spring & autumn. lovely post as usual :)
Love the mirror in that room!

Pretty room! Love the look of the 1st pic though.
I adore this contrast!!
oh my gosh…that’s so crazy it’s the same room. At first glance it wouldn’t appear that way at all. What a cool comparison.

loove this room!! different light still the same beauty!! thanks for sharing I am saving this one!
I am in heaven here…
Gorgeous. I would like to live in these photos.x
That is so neat! The paint almost looks purple in the bottom image. I would love a chandelier just like this one.
Love the light in the first image and how the rooms looks more grey. How fabulous to see the same room in different lighting. Proof that lighting is so important!

love this — it’s crazy how light can make such a huge difference. the second is my personal fave :]
You have a very good eye to pick up on a lighting change….I might have missed that distinction. Have a lovely week. XO
Beautiful room! I would opt for the top photo where the room appears grey, I am loving the mirror and chandlier. Your blog is wonderful, it has an elegant feel and the content is always so unique and glamorous!
