LE PETIT CABINET DE CURIOSITES

Blogosphere

I've read a lot of posts about

why are we blogging?

what are we expecting ...?

I've read so many bloggers telling their stories about meeting others bloggers...

I haven't really shared with you before what blogging means to me ..

Each day, I'm wondering who is going to read my blog ?

I'm wondering is this post is going to interest anybody on internet ( except me )

I'm wondering is it worth it to share what I like ?

I'm going to tell you my answers , everyday hundreds of you are reading me , some are leaving comments . I don't answer to every comment , but every comment touches me

Everyday some posts have interest for some poeple and even if it is ONE , it is enough.

Everyday , I'm thinking YES it is worth it because I'm writing , I'm sharing, I'm abble have others point of view !!!

On Thursday, I've met a gem from the blogosphere, Mary

She came to visit me with her husband Jim and a beautiful present that she made

She knew every details of my " petit cabinet de curiosités "

I can tell she studied a lot before visiting

It was so touching to see that she was knowing my world ,she was knowing me and she wanted to know more

By writing a blog , we actually write a diary and YOU know me and you are part of my world as I'm part of YOURS !!!

Thanks for being there

Project : new brasilian shop in Marseilles

We are done with a beautiful project : we design the interior of this new brasilian shop in Marseilles : Doce di Limao

This new shop in Marseilles is a" bar à ongles" (nails bar) so this is a place in the shop where the clients wait for their turn

on the back you can see a green wall full of plants

 

 this is the fitting room 

with a beautiful designers guild fabric

love the egg chair , one of my favorite seat

In Dolce di limao you can find clothes , beautiful shoes, jewells and everything is from Brasil .

The "manucure" is typically from Brazil

so if you are near by marseilles don't hesitate to stop

Pour mes lectrices provençales ou marseillaises une nouvelle adresse : une boutique made in Brasil dont nous nous sommes occupés de la partie déco avec un coin " bar à ongles" confectionné avec un skai doré Elitis et des cabines d'essayage avec du tissus Designers Guild ( bien sur)

Au son de la bossa nova ,la manucure est faite dans la tradition brésilienne . Vos mains étant occupées , vos yeux ne manqueront pas de s'arrêter sur leurs collections de chaussures ou de vêtements et vous craquerez ( c'est sur) sur un bijou ...porte bonheur

Do you want your antiques armchair to look trendy ??

I like antiques , old fashion , shabby chic ...

nevertheless we live in the XXI th century so when you live into

an architect house , very modern

and you like antiques

you have to mix

and as an interior decorator

you have to help poeple to adapt antiques to our century

Some poeple will scream , yell but in any years and any century poeple has adapted

When you have a Louis XIII armchair

if you want it to look con

if you want it to look contemporary

you can choose Missoni home for example

 

to look trendy , Missoni can be one of the solution

 

Le Manach between history and modernity

The Maison Georges Le Manach

which designs and manufactures furnishing fabrics, is the last working factory still producing silks in France.

Commode with Lemanach toile de jouy

silk velvet on an original XVIII th century armchair

Le Manach is very well known for their documents and their fabulous fabrics as toile de jouy , silks, french toiles

But it is all modernity art deco and design

Le Manach produces a famous fabric :

toile de Tours

created in the twenties , it can be use in very classical and antiques places or use in a very modern way

This sofa looks perfect for this winter : so trendy
