Ooooooh la la {modern bergeres}

Oh I’ve been so naughty skipping my posts, I do apologise lovelies.  I’ve been bogged down working on a crayzee enormous historical notebook I have to put together on English and French interior design styles since 1660.  Yah, you read correctly.  A blooming long time.   Literally 4 weeks of my life and counting has gone into this sucker.

I’ve been working on les frenchies the last few days and have been getting a little over excited about all their trad bergere and fauteuil chairs – but updated for 2013, forget about those stinking damasks.

Here’s a little round up of these beauts – leopard and ikat clearly get my votes, quelle surprise…

Ooh and zebra and stripeys:

And a cheeky suzani or two (all the usual suspects I know, I’m getting predictable non?!)

Most of these lovely ladies will be bespoke upholstery, but I’ve rounded up a few already-dids in case anyone’s looking for a zero hassle approach.  Which is your fave?  Do tell!
