Napoleon had all sorts of luxurious tents, canopy beds, elaborate furniture, etc. when he went out on campaign. His home, and Josephine's, were decorated with these militaristic themes, too. It became fashionable, during the 19th c., and it's been "in" from time to time ever since. But it's a pretty obscure "insider" decorator's reference, like making obscure literary references in a your own novel. Obviously it's not working for 21st c. Americans. Personally, I can't imagine cleaning this stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548832815603141151.post-24983575878840750142008-08-15T10:13:00.000-07:002008-08-15T10:13:00.000-07:00I came here to say something about this looking li...I came here to say something about this looking like a room Hildi designed on Trading Spaces, but I seen someone has already beat me to the punch!<BR/><BR/>:)Michelle HDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05884240205475069250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548832815603141151.post-5676212151893519472008-08-15T09:10:00.000-07:002008-08-15T09:10:00.000-07:00I think this is actually "Napoleon's bedroom at El...I think this is actually "Napoleon's bedroom at Elba, after they took his TV away."Fnarfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15022243603033471232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548832815603141151.post-21061282128421101442008-08-15T09:08:00.000-07:002008-08-15T09:08:00.000-07:00You will either love or loath this one.
