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
Upholstery ( tapisser) is an art
L'art de tapissier is like l'art d'aimer ,each day you learn something
For each style and each period , upholstery ( garniture ) is different.
First step ,to make a " garniture " you need your tools
you need horse hair,straps , "toile d'embourure" may be springs depend on the style of the chair ..
you need strenght and doigts de fée ( fairy fingers !!) and even when you are a woman you can have this strenght
And you need to practice and savoir faire
Well tomorrow post about which graniture ? on which chair ?
then you will learn how to choose the proper fabric or just the one you love ...For me there are no rules ..
Well all these steps will be teached in a class my dad is going to give at the end of the spring ...so if you are interested in it , contact me

I wanted to make this week :ROMANTIC
so let's start by Toile de Jouy.
Most of the prints of the Toile de jouy are a love story , let's share them
When toile fabric was first made in France, idyllic scenes featuring the French countryside were predominant. These motifs showed people at work and at leisure. Hunting scenes, which depicted a favorite pastime of the well-to-do, were favorites.
In addition, thematic depictions related to Roman or Greek mythology were popular because they were pleasing to a well-read audience of well-educated men who had studied the Classics.
LOVE was also a main subject . All these romantic toiles are printed thanks to the wood block printing method ( I will write a post about it)
Toile de Jouy : le temple d'amour 72 euro /m
Toile de jouy le char de Neptune 72 euro / m
Toile de jouy la chasse de Diane 72 euro /m

Since the 1st I' ve read things about suzani in style court blog.
I am addicted and in love with them .
I think they are timeless even if the New york post put them in their over list .
They are meaningful , they are cultural antiques and objects
Its name comes from the Persian which means needle , they are embroidery textiles.
They are made in Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and other Central Asia countries
The suzani place in Istanbul
