Halfway to Bombay

Long, long ago I used to be obsessed with Bombay. The store, not the place. The store no longer exists*, and there actually is no place called Bombay anymore either. It’s been officially switched to Mumbai since 1995, as the old spelling was considered to be a corrupted English version and an unwanted legacy of British colonial rule. Feel free to work that factual tidbit into your conversations at parties.

Anyway, I don’t know why I was so taken with the wares in Bombay, but I wanted nothing more than to furnish my entire life like I ran some kind of black market elephant tusk cartel.

Everything seemed so exotic and luxurious! Mahogany! Tassels! Animal print! Mahogany!

This highboy looks to be a remnant of those Bombay glory days, but today’s styles seem to lean a bit lighter and brighter, so Jennifer at Trillium Park Designs brought it up to speed with just a little paint and glaze.

Oooh! Still as stylish as ever. Great job Jennifer!

*Bombay is still a distributor, but no longer a store. Not to be confused with The Bombay Store, a completely different store. That’s not at all confusing at all. I spent way too much time googling this crap.
