Time-Travelling with Sepia Saturday

Not a whole lot happening here at the moment. Still waiting for the last remains of snow and ice to be washed away, and for some proper signs of spring to show up. Thinking that I've already published enough photos of puddles and melting snow, today I decided to go time-travelling on my blog Greetings from the Past instead. 

Not much has been happening lately on that family history blog of mine lately either; but this week's Sepia Saturday prompt happened to inspire me to go re-visiting the Versailles Palace museum in Paris, France, together with my great-aunt Gerda. If you want to get (re)acquainted with Gerda, and see the full set of old yellowed postcards from Versailles, click on the Greetings link above.

If you're content to just take a quick peek at a few bedrooms belonging to really famous people from the past, you'll find them copied below. All of them rather more spacious than my own, I have to admit. Personally I do think I prefer a more "cosy" style, though...

Marie Antoinette's bedroom

Louis XIV's bedroom
 
Napoleon's bedroom 

 

PS. There's a permanent link to my Greetings from the Past blog in my sidebar, always showing the headline of the latest post. I don't usually double-post, but thought I might give Sepia Saturday a bit of a "boost" today...

  1. Goodness! This would be way too large and fancy for me! How could anyone sleep in a room that looks like a guilded ballroom? Well, maybe Trump. Nevertheless, I prefer something kind of cottage cozy.

  2. Wow those photos are so elaborate! No wonder the people were jumping up and down.
