A Difficult Decision to Make: Which would you choose?



Ollie and Camilla have a tough decision to make this week as they discover that Eduin and Veronica are not just making one sculpture for their stair finial but actually two options are presented, and very soon, they will need to make a choice. But first, we find out the latest on setting up the chill out area at the Magical Modernist Mansion and Camilla whips up a Tarte Tatin to take on their visit Eduin and Veronica’s incredible country home, on the other side of Barcelona.

    Gosh, both of these busts they've made for you to choose from are so beautiful! Having to choose would be so difficult. I would be brainstorming for other places to put the other bust just so you'd have reasons to have them both. I viewed some illustrations of Spanish women in 1900-1915, and I did see some of the ladies with their hair swept in an elegant bun to the back of their head, and the poses looked so peaceful. Camilla's story of holding space for women in her yoga class who were using that time to shed the struggles and hardships that life had burdened them with was so lovely. Camilla, you definitely have a very loving and protective spirit. If these beautiful busts can reflect that loving and protective energy, they will be a priceless addition to your beautiful home.

    A couple of things;
    1 The sculpture must represent your sheila as it adds another interesting layer of history to the house for future owners,
    2 The dragon creates dangerous hooks for all those who will inevitably swing around the stair post which can be solved by just touching the snout to the wing and the wing to the body etc, and
    3 only an idiot stands behind any bloody horse, period.

    Both amazing personally there are 2 points that stand out to me 1 the hair on the second one I felt looked like a wig and it alienated me
    2 the first one was slightly smaller which I think practically will look better in situ.
    These 2 points are nothing to do about the aesthetics of the sculptures.
    It is always a personal choice when buying sculptures.

    The sculpture with the red fire on would be my choice, I think it portrays a softer kinder person. But it is your home ☺️

  15. Judith Clark

    They are both lovely, but I feel drawn to the first one for sure. There is an elegant power portrayed in her, a woman in command and self assured whereas the 2nd one has a more serene, demur attitude. Such a hard decision. Good luck

    What a tricky decision – I think I would choose the second 'Camilla inspired' face with the dragons represented in the first sculpture. Ultimately, they are both beautiful and would look glorious in your home. By the way, Camilla – you have a lovely singing voice. 🙂

    Oh how Ive giggled watching tq ..
    Ollie’s humour!
    Prefer 2nd lady shes softer
    with “fire surrounding” her character ..
    I liken it to your home X

    Wow! What a great….and IMPORTANT…..vlog! Can't wait to see which lady you choose! I feel that one of them is really going to speak to you! As for Camilla and her singing….wow! What a wonderful voice! Ollie, WHY didn't we get to hear YOU? ha I'm sure your eldest daughter won't allow it but I'd love to see some video of her and her girlfriends having a go at karaoke! 🙂 Teresa P.S. Ollie, have you seen my last full day in Cuba? I took lots of architecture shots just for you! 🙂 Teresa
