Homes and apartments by Horta in Brussels and Gaudi in Barcelona still exist, but I am not sure that it is possible to see inside them. In any case, ideagirl is probably correct in thinking that the people with money for art nouveau homes and interiors did not spend time in their kitchens or worry much about their designs.
I think the closest non-billionaires might come is with craftsman cabinets (although one range of the Macintosh line palimsest linked to has curved corners to go with a basic craftsman style), and smashing tubelined tiles. There are inexpensive reproductions of these tiles, but the ones I have found have peculiar colors. I cannot believe that someone isn't also making more up-market and fetching reproductions.

Period tiles are available on ebay, with one seller from Uruquay having particularly complete sets, but you might have to commission the field tiles in which to display them.

[If you would be content with a dining room, ebay has an imposing Guimard set for only $100k.]

For other ideas, you might also look at the illustrations of Mackintosh tea rooms in Glasgow, which at least have tables and chairs, and maybe some cabinetry.

Cheers.

Again, I'm not exactly spot on, but close enough, I think. Turns out finding art nouveau tile has been one of my mini-projects for the day! In my case, I'm looking for off white raised pattern tile (often referred to as tube line) in a "wedding cake" style to replace that which will surely get destroyed in my bathroom reno (assuming I ever get to it.) Although I didn't find exactly what I was looking for, I did find these other art nouveau-inspired tiles that might be of interest to you:

OMG $100k for a dining set!!! I went to look--here's the link--and it's not even that amazing. It's nice, but not $100k nice. I love the Paris metro stations Guimard designed, but this dining set just doesn't seem extraordinary to me in any way. So, whew! I don't have to regret not having $100k to spare on a dining set... :-)

That room you posted, by the way, is astonishing.

Here's a link to an entire French art nouveau bakery interior and partial exterior (front doors). The mirror above it is AMAZING. All this can be yours for only $85,000! Hahaha.

And here's a really cool looking chest with a mirror--the price is REALLY LOW--under $1000!--considering how cool it is:

I would be all over that if we had any need for such an item.

Not to hijack this thread, but I really need to thank you, Pal, for that link to Tile Source. What a great source they are, indeed! As I said, I've been trying to find a match for my original relief trim tiles in my bathroom, shown here:

While Tile Source doesn't have an exact match on page, their Mucha repro (above the mirror) on pg.29 and the "Adelaide" trim tiles on pg. 56 come closer than anything else I've been able to find thus far. Thanks much (and Mucha)!:-)

There's an Art Nouveau cabinet door (one only, unfortunately) on ebay now for $100. I think I'd start with some architectural salvage--a small cabinet, spare doors, or whatever--and then look for items to flow with it.

Marcolo, will you QUIT making me run over to eBay and waste time looking at things I can't afford??! :-)

Here's an art nouveau credenza, for some cabinet-related inspiration:

Here is a link that might be useful: Art Nouveau Credenza on eBay

Check out Enkeboll Designs, a manufacturer of architectural accent pieces, at http://www.enkeboll.com. Go to Collections & select Art Nouveau. You might be able to apply some of the onlays to a flat panel. They also offer legs, etc. I think the key would be, to be somewhat restrained, since it would be quite easy to go over the top into kitsch.

What pretty tile, marthavila!

You could go with with a cafe inspired look from Vienna, Paris or eastern European cities where the movement was popular.

Thonet chairs are still made and affordable. Adding some framed prints, lighting and accessories from the era would give you the look. Woodwork in an Art Nouveau cafe is dark with curved details, there are lots of mirrors and etched glass panels. The floors are tile with borders, white with red and black or green. Floors generally look more Art Deco or Victorian.

You can also pick up some Nouveau inspired elements in your hardware such as these cup pulls from Schaub's French Farm collection. we got these plus knobs that matched:

Also go a cast iron Italian style cafe table base for a 30" granite top to go in our very small eat in area. We are going to cover a wall with some photos to being in a french and bistro/cafe ambiance and this topic reminded me that I've always liked Art Nouveau poster art so gotta add in something along those lines.

I love those pulls, Johnny135! I almost strongly agree with your suggestion re the French bistro/cafe ambiance. That's because I did exactly that in my kitchen. Bought a wonderful cast iron table base from an architectural salvage vendor and had a 30" marble table top made for it. Added in cafe chairs and cafe curtains and, and adjustable hanging pendant and, of course, the vintage poster (although a bit older than art nouveau era) and . . . voila! There's a bistro in my kitchen! :-)

Those pulls are cafe perfect, Johnny135.

MV - Your kitchen definitely popped into mind when I was describing the above on how to get the Art Nouveau look in a kitchen. So glad you saw this. Maybe you could post some pictures to help out? Hehehehe....just a hint.

Here's a real art nouveau kitchen (or as close as there really is to such a thing) in Paris (the house is now a museum). You can scroll around 360 degrees to see it all:

Here is a link that might be useful: Nissim de Camondo kitchen

Ohhhh my god oh my god. Neat kitchen--I love the ceiling tile!--but the story of that family is utterly tragic. Nissim de Camondo was killed in World War I, so his father gave the mansion he would have inherited to France to be used as a museum. That's what you're looking at in the photo; that's his kitchen. Twenty-odd years later the entire family was deported to the concentration camps and most if not all of them died. Their remaining possessions--a vast array of truly splendid artworks and antiques--were stolen by the Nazis. Some were later recovered due in part to amazing perilous work done by a French resistance agent, Rose Valland.

I just read about them in a fantastic novel, Pictures at an Exhibition (link below). It is fictionalized and some names are changed, but that family and Rose Valland is who it's based on.

Here is a link that might be useful: Pictures at an Exhibition

Yes, you can read the basic story if you click on the the green link LA FAMILLE DE CAMODO on the left side of the page. (If you don't read French, google translate isn't having its finest hour with this site, unfortunately.)

The last line sums it up: "La famille de Camondo est desormais eteinte." A very tragic story.

Aaaagh. Eteinte. That is, "extinguished." They were snuffed out. How terrible.

Shucks, Writersblock, I can't access that kitchen link you posted! But, thanks for the nice words about my bathroom tile. And, Steff, you have me laughing here. I'm trying so hard to keep from uploading what I think might be relevant photos of my kitchen on various threads, that is until my "big reveal". Soon come, I tell you. Soon come. lol

Anyone know whatever happened to Midnightgirl? Has the OP abandoned us?

>I can't access that kitchen link you posted!

What happens when you try, marthavila?

Well, it says I need a plugin. However, when I click the link for a plugin -- none appears! Or, it takes me directly to the site (in French) and then asks for me to sign in. :-(

Oh, maybe it's because the 360 pano is flash. Here's a link to the plain text pages for the kitchen:

Well, hot damn and take my breath away, why don'tcha? I don't know whether to thank you, Writersblock, or to reach for the smelling salts!

Mission Tile West also has a large selection of Art Nouveau tiles.

My kitchen is current and unique, but there are Art Nouveau touches throughout, mostly in brass. So...has anyone seen an Art Nouveau switchplate for decora switches (the big rectangles)?

Midnightgirl, that room is fabulous!

Hi, pillog. It's pretty surprising how difficult it tis to find decora switchplates in all sorts of styles.

Have you seen this?

{{!gwi}}

http://habitatter.com/art-noveau-border-switch-plate-copper-5-rocker-p-20511.html

Although to me it looks more arts and crafts than nouveau.

Or there's this one, but only for a single switch:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Single-Rocker-Switch-Plate-Art-Nouveau-01-/370262241895#ht_1499wt_907

Or this one is available for a single rocker, too:

{{!gwi}}

http://www.switchhits.com/switchplates_artnouveautulip_light_switch_plates_covers.html

or this one, which is brass and available in several sizes, but won't let me link it.

Bless you, Writersblock! I haven't seen any of them. I need a double, more's the pity, since the middle one might be perfect. I'm not a big period hound, so would even take Deco, but it has to be something that looks good with the white plastic. One of the switches is decora and the other is a fancy slide dimmer with pushbutton and LED. The quality of the latter is too good to switch it out for a toggle with dimmer, or I'd just do that. Sigh. I don't know that it wouldn't be uglier with a pretty plate--that's probably why they don't make a lot of decora plates to begin with--but it would be nice to have a choice!

I once played a Art Nouveau computer game... It was only a moderately good game, but the interiors were exquisite!

P.S., to see the museum kitchen in the wireframe app you just need Quicktime, which you can download from Apple. It's worth it just to see the ceiling! (Well, okay, it's simple tilework, but you know I love tile...)

P1llog, ever see these?

Here is a link that might be useful: house of antique hardware cover plates

Peanut!!! I've seen the Deco one, or something similar, but not in the right configuration. The top one looks about perfect!

So I'm not even sorry for hijacking the thread! I'm going to go check them out. :)

Many thanks!!!

Hey, circuspeanut, how did you do that? The top one is the one in my last link but I kept getting the flash controls when I right-clicked it so I couldn't do a direct link. How did you get it to work?

Oh, I'm shamelessly promiscuous with hardware, I'm afraid. I got lots where that came from. Check out (I'll link each image to its source):

Oh, throb!!! I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger yet! Such riches!

hi writersblock,
I used a web developer extension to check the source code/CSS files for the background image URL. Embarrassing geekery, I'm afraid.

Ok. You guys have me going now! So, here's a tough assignment for you switchplate mavens: anyone have a source for an art nouveau/art deco switchplate that can accommodate 4 rockers?

I click "View Source" then search for the img src code. Then I go blind and run to the optometrist.

OMG OMG OMG, look at those switchplates! Look at that paper towel holder!!!

Marthavila, I think some of those house of antique hardware ones come that large.

Thanks for the explanation, Circuspeanut. The ones in your last post are amazing.

Oh, Martha, that's almost no challenge at all. ;-)

This one comes in 4-rocker style, just not pictured:

And Plllog, here's a Deco one for you:
{{!gwi}}

OMG, Peanut. I just found this on your site!: http://houseofantiquehardware.com/Art-Nouveau-Quad-GFI

This is starting to become a dangerous place to hangout.

I see I've popped in to a switchplate party and you've found some really great ones too.

That museum kitchen is amazing, wow, thanks for the link!

That kitchen is lovely, thank you for the posts and I have never seen such lovely switchplate covers!

Writersblock, I'm so sorry! I totally missed your text link because I was so overcome by the beauty of the ones you embedded!!

You all are so great!

So...do you think I could make the copper one with the vines go verdigris without looking too even?

They're resin embedded with metal. Sorta the Silestone of copper. So, no genuine verdigris for you. Paint, maybe.

Oh, no problem, pillog. BTW, I think you're right that the wireframe is a QuickTime VR, but on the iPad it just throws up the missing plug-in icon. Odd that apple didn't include that codec.

OMG, I just found the paper towel holders marcolo was talking about! And they're totally on-topic for an Art Nouveau kitchen, too. This is a dangerous place.

Is that what "cold cast" means? Well, pooh!!! Thanks, Marcolo. That does explain a lot. They're awfully detailed to be the real thing for that price but I thought they might have a real copper surface or something. Maybe I'll just go for the resin looking resin one, which might be a better color anyway even if it's a more conventional piece.

P1llog, if you want verdigris on something non-metallic, I can recommend Gilder's Paste:

Or something called Rub & Buff, which is similar. Any art supply store.

Yeah, I included that cream-colored one in case you find the white plastic switch too jarring with the darker metals.

But if you really want to go all out, you can get the decora rockers, slide dimmers etc in various colors, including metallic finishes like antiqued brass.

Thanks so much, Peanut! I'll keep the gilder's paste in mind. I've used a similar product but not on anything so fine.

In a welter of Art Nouveau ecstasy last night, I almost bought that lighter one in the sage, but went and looked and made sure. Sigh. The problem isn't so much the whiteness of the switches. Unfortunately, my dimmer switch doesn't come in pretty colors. There are six, and the slider comes in fewer. At the point of changing, since this is on u/c in the BP, I could get toggles with a dimmer and whatever pretty plate I wanted. But I realized when I looked that it's better with the white plate than it would be with something pretty.

So then I had flirtations with Marcolo's paper towel holders on the same sight, but I could have Michael Aram for half the price and probably superior durability, even though nowhere near the same flights of fancy.

Yes. It's true. I can sometimes get bogged down by practicality and thrift. Sigh.

Speaking of hardware, check out the macintosh pulls over at Horton brasses. They are quite nice.I would post a link but still trying to figure out this iPad.

I was at the KD today and saw a book by this company Pratt & Larson who has absolutely stunning tilework!
