busy painting...

Bonjour mes belles,

I hope that you are having a fabulous week. Ours is being spent on getting our new shop ready and of course it involves painting, in one form or another. 

Guy has been busy painting the front door and also the background of the sign, for the facade of the shop and I have been busy painting furniture. I much prefer painting furniture but lets keep that entre nous.

We will be open tomorrow, the address is: 

No.1 Antiquites et Decoration
 1 Quai de la Navigation,
24500 Eymet 

à demain, Leeann

progress on our new boutique; No. 1...

Bonjour from a grey SW France,

It is perfect weather for painting and I have quite a lot of it to do. We have been busy getting our new shop ready and I thought that I would share a few photos with you. It is slowly coming together and I am loving the lightness of the shop even on a grey day.....

In the background of this photo you can just make out a few of the items going being transformed with one of my favourtite colours, a lovely blueish gray.....photos of finished products to follow later in the week.

Louis XIII canape with wall sconces and a fabulous parclose mirror, I love them as do a lot of our clients hence they always sell quickly.

The shop is a large industrial style space which Guy is filling full of antiques and I have taken an alcove which I am making cosy and it is now the new home for Fabulously French. 

As you can see from this photo, the light is amazing even on an overcast  day.....

à demain, Leeann x

a watchful eye...

This is one of French Boyfriend's latest finds which is now hanging on the wall in the new boutique. I adore him and think that he looks equally as good displayed on the wall or on an easel.

He has rather a majestic air and at the same time is keeping an eye on what is going on.....

Speaking of going on, I had better get going as I have beaucoup de travaille....

à demain, Leeann x

weekend in one photo...

Bonjour mes belles,

I hope that you had a nice weekend, our as normal was a busy one.

Saturday morning was spent at the new boutique, it makes me smile when I write this as I think of when my sister and  I were little girls playing shop, taking turns with what used to be my grandfather's old cash register.

Yesterday was spent sorting out stock for the shop as we have a lot of stock stored in garages and the such like.

My plan for the week is to try and reorganise my garage.....it sounds so easy when I write these three words but think that in practice it will not be so simple.

....bon début de semaine à vous tous !!, Leeann x
