L'amour

                             perfect lovers

2 lovers in front of the Cap canaille , Cassis

Love is just a simple life that is shared

qu'à vist Paris

I love most of the paintings , I sell and I love to sell them to someone that will cherish it ...

Right now , in my shop I particularly love this painting

detail from an old provencal painting depicting my favorite harbour in Provence

I love this painting because it is sunny

I love this painting because I think I'm this person seating there , looking at the castle

I love this painting because it depicts my favorite spot , the place I was raised

I love this painting because it is MY provence

And the ditum says : " qu'a vist Paris , é non C...n'a rien vist"

If you often read my blog , you will know where it is and where is the new space...let's see if you find it

P.S : I will show you a puzzle of this gorgeous painting , in the next days and then you will see the entire painting ...

Modern upholstery and design

First I want to apologize to have been far away from my blog and from you *.
I was very busy and very worried by several things

I'm coming back to you with my "upholstery posts" .

I'm coming back with modern upholstery and one of my Dad's creation
Indeed 25 years ago , my dad designed and upholstered this sofa for a special order for a big living room

here is the sofa with its old fabric , do you want to see it now ???

Here it is

detail of the sofa with its new black fabric

Have I told you it was an arched shape ?

You are going to wonderring if it is a modern sculpture ...It is not , it is an artful work

a part of this sofa is hand sewed by our little hands , there is no other way to make it

Here it is almost ready for a new life .
I have to tell you I love the design of this sofa ( well my dad made it , may be that's why) and I also love this fabric for me it is very timeless

*I want to let you know that I will answer to your nice emails and comments as soon as possible

XVIII th century original upholstery

In the XVIII th century , the upholsteries are only made with horsehair , and straps . They don't use springs , they don't exist !
