8th June de Gournay discoveries (Patreon)

Many of you will already know that we have been considering hand painted silk chinoiserie on the walls of our dining room when we are finally allowed to decorate. There are three producers that I am considering for this - de Gournay which is considered the market leader in this and whose work I've regularly shown on the vlog but also, Iksel who I absolutely adore as well as Fromental - which was formed by a couple who started out at de Gournay and left to set up their own company. Fromental, we have had an initial discussion with, due to this being a contact of my sister, Vanessa the interior designer. Due to this connection, I was a bit apprehensive about going also to their competitor De Gournay... but during our conversations, they've told me this is fine. So, off to de Gournay I tootled and I have to say, they are super efficient! A response within 24 hours, and by the end of the week, they hope to send me a presentation with a proposal. Now, I am nervous about the price but let's just put that to one side for the moment while I'm learning as much as possible through exploring this option... And here's the exciting part, they have said they can send some samples and the images above show the ones I've requested. I can't begin to tell you how excited I am about filling the home with such beautiful artistry. Let's see what happens!
