The Art of Upholstery - L'Atelier du Cap Gris-Nez


I am honored to introduce you to my blogging
friend Pascale who lives in France. Her blog
L'Atelier du Cap Gris-Nez follows her work in
furniture upholstry. She follows the traditional
methods of upholstry and although her blog is in
French, pictures transcend works and it's true
that a picture is worth a thousand words. The
name of her atelier or studio is The Workshop of
Cape Gris-Nez.

I totally drooled over this plum chair!! Lacquered in
plum and velvet - I could squeal as it has all of my
favorite textures, finishes and color.


This headboard she made is to die for!


I totally want this for myself! Look at the fun colors and stripes!


The chair on the left is so fun with different patterns and the yellow chair
on the left would bring any traditional space a sense of warmth.



Bold stripes with stunning nail heads.


Her most recent creation is a sofa covered in Designer Guild
fabric. What a wonderul shade of turquoise!


Pascale really pours her heart and soul into her work and
you know that she is doing it out of love and passion for
what she does. Her motto is quality above all else and that
no detail is too small.





Aren't these miniature chairs the cutest thing ever?


Yummmm pink and chocolate stripes.


Another Designer's Guild fabric creation.


Isn't this the cutest pair of adult and child
chair one could imagine?


What's more fun than a red pineapple print!

Hope you've had some great inspiration from
Pascale's work and do visit her blog to see
her in action.
