This powder room at the Paramount Theater was restored to its exact, original appearance. The guy who did the upholstery enlarged photos of the period to count the number of nail heads the chairs had! The draperies reflected in the mirror were replicated from a reflection in an old photo. The restorers attention to detail is beyond remarkable. Can't you imagine Ginger Rogers here dabbing on her lipstick? For even more reflections, visit James' meme

A powder room? I don't think I am allowed in here . . . A gorgeous place and a nice reflection photo.

Now that's dedication! Great shot for the reflection theme.
ReplyDeleteI love this photo, it's really gorgeous. the color and light are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSuperb, Carolyn!
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure the Paramount is!
Excellent! I really like this photo!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool. I have a lot of respect for people who do restoration work, and do it correctly. In an answer to your question regarding the post on my blog, I use Corel Paint Shop Pro. In it under effects is "artistic effects". It was done with chrome or colored foil option, I don't remember which. I think Adobe Photoshop has something similar but am not sure. Hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteThis is spectacular. The story, the photo, the reflections, the colors, everything. Thanks for a superb post.
ReplyDeleteAnd after scrolling down the page and liking so much what I've found, I'm your newest follower, too. Have a great weekend! Sara
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the reflections.
ReplyDeleteTu nous fais rêver avec cette image ... Belle réfection, belle image. Un endroit "habité".
ReplyDeleteA reflection in both time and space - very interesting post.
ReplyDeleteThat's a sweet shot of a renovated retro powder room with fun reflections! Don't see many elegant spaces like that these days... but come to think of it, don't see a lot of powder either... or is that just me?
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of history to this shot. The era, the characters, the stories...
ReplyDeleteGreat shot...a step back in time!
ReplyDeleteGreat post and nice photo!
ReplyDeleteSoft colors and perfect lighting of your photo! I love the pattern of the fabric!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, would have loved to see Ginger sitting there putting her lipstick on...
