Bonjour Francophiles! As promised, I wanted to share the country's best kept furniture secret...my fave furniture designer's Tony and Marisol Gullo and their fabulous store "Shabby Chic Boutique".
Lucky me, the store is 5 minutes from my house, so you can often find me in their store just drooling and dreaming over their latest creations.
They begin their process by finding old antique and vintage pieces of furniture (in my opinion the most well made furniture) and then finish them with their exquisite French shabby painting techniques. They also embellish the pieces with touches of glass, mesh, stenciling, lighting, textiles and other cool accessories to come up with the most gorgeous, unique and one of a kind "Coastal Chic" pieces you can find anywhere in the country. All of their pieces remind me of something you would find in an old rustic farmhouse in the rolling lavender hills of the French countryside.
Let me let their work speak for itself...
Look at this amazing desk...
...wouldn't it be awesome to sit and blog here?!?
And how clever is this piece?...
...burlap covered drawers on a shabby painted Deco dresser.
They have the prettiest handmade framed mirrors...
They also have many stunnung old farmhouse tables...
...and headboards made from old mantle pieces and doors...
...I just loved these blue velvet covered mid century chairs!
Look at this sweet antique needlework chair he re-finished...
Check out the hand stenciling inside the beautiful old china cabinet on the right...
And what about this gorgeous old French inspired sideboard...wouldn't it be beautiful with it's shelves covered in shells and coral???
Look at their beautiful handmade lighting that dresses the sides of this old hand finished headboard....
so smart, isn't it???
and here is my favorite piece...
...I have been dreaming about all of my vintage collections I could store inside of this stunning lighted cabinet!
