Welcome To Villa Maison.....

I had a lovely afternoon at Villa Maison on the weekend. Ashleigh, the Queensland Rep, came in to meet me... even though it was her day off! Brownie points. We lolled around on sofas and sipped water out of pretty glasses...... and drooled over all the gorgeous new pieces in stock.

It's like walking into a French cottage. 

Look at those gorgeous Croix chairs... complete with cushion.

I know what I am doing with my old violin music

... the pieces that psychologically damaged me.... or my scale book!

A treasure from Ellie's Collection Prive.

 Sourced on her last trip to France and beautifully restored.

Can you imagine the history in this piece?

Love the 'Rhode Island' Collection.

Sorry about the blurriness... I was talking.

I flopped on this one. 

They encourage you to road test everything.... for the end customer's benefit of course.

More 'Rhode Island' beauties...

.. with even a butler's tray in the collection.

Unexpected beauty where you least expect it. 

Pays to road test everything... you never know what you'll find!

I'd be leaving my drawers open... permanently.

I love the detail.

Oh the ' Dressoir Sorbonne'!

... and the 'Sorbonne' bookcase!

Blurred. Talking.

There's that 'Loire' cabinet again.

It's going to have to have a kitchen designed around it very soon.

Sigh.

Brace yourself.... for ... the 'Sideboard On Wheels'...

It brings out the 'inner science geek' in me.

I seriously love it to bits.

Don't you love their nomenclature?.... 'Sideboard On Wheels'.

No complicated taxonomy here (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species...)

..... just 'Sideboard On Wheels'. Love it. 

There's also a 'Coffee Table On Wheels', 'Bookcase On Wheels' and 'TV Table On Wheels' 

Love.

Oh, here's the 'Coffee Table On Wheels'...

'TV Table On Wheels'...

I was lying down on a comfy sofa, taking this photo.. see, there's a bit of my frock!

Testing the merchandise.

'Bookcase On Wheels'

Wheels.

Look at the detail....all corners in that range are adorned with metal strips and bolts.

Ok, deep breaths... the new 'Batavia' collection.

This is the 'Bibliotheque'....

... the 'Vitrine'.

I can see this in a stately study, filled with books..... black desk, big armchairs, plush rugs, chandelier.

...'Side Table'...

... and the 'Armchairs'. Be still heart.

Soft cowhide upholstery.... can't you see them in that study?

Speaking of chairs... I sat in many.

Love.

The most comfy?

This one.

I can vouch for it.

I normally don't put my feet up on people's furniture. Tired, trade fair legs.

Look, it comes in an armchair too.

Love.

Bought all their remaining stock of these.

Sigh.

Bought this for a client's son's bedroom.

As for the lights. I bought pretty much every model they have in stock.

Tell you all about them over on my Cape Cod Blog.

If you see anything you like here, email me!

I will be putting my favourite pieces up, with prices, on my Cape Cod Blog as soon as I can

... time permitting...

... you see, my place looks nothing like a 'French Cottage' at the moment... as we're moving.

My boys are still managing to find their way to the piano to do their practice though... good lads.

Happy Tuesday! 

I'm off to the shed in my overalls this afternoon to send out my overdue orders.
