I also recommend the Diamond. <br /> <br />Designed to be the crown jewel of the Portuguese brand Boca do Lobo, the trimmer of Diamond demonstrates the ability of the jewelers of furniture and certainly justifies the title. This object opulent, full of resources and desire, has two doors that reveal an interior gold leaf carefully shaped with shelves and two drawers. Furniture inspired by Gothic Romantic period, with its ability to harness the power of imagination, foresight, exhaust, not to mention his strong style.<br /><br />http://www.bocadolobo.com/le/diamond.htmlCarlos Bargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08018013375914902295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964224117445332873.post-88853475575884255682012-03-18T07:03:02.063-07:002012-03-18T07:03:02.063-07:00I loved all the inspiration this has given me for ...I loved all the inspiration this has given me for my recently purchased farmhouse "redo."
