Trimmings addiction

By reading yesterday a post of Jackie . I've thought about sharing one of my addiction with you.

The doctor told me there are not any medicine for this one ...never mind

Jacky wrote about Houles and Van Lathem Inc , I wanted also to talk about the best french trimmings company :

Declercq Passementeries

"They are at the service of the French Chateaux since 1818 , It is to this day the unique and privileged partner of national museum for restauration works and also the associate of the most prestigious names among decorators and furnishing fabric designers."

One of my favorite Declercq 's passementerie is hermione collection

Then I also love the Perse one

 

Looks like Marie Antoinette's diner ...

Then trimmings more modern

I'm sure , Patricia is going to love this one . I do too

I love this curtain loop inspired by the Empire State Building . It will go perfecly in a modern or art deco decoration

Well after this discovery . I'm going to show you some trimmings I have in my show room

Trimmings in my purple bedroom

My addiction is so important that I even put trimmings on the walls ..YES
