Talking Points Interiors Shop Opening

So we finally did it! After 2 years of restoring Chequers Hotel Pulborough to its former glory, planning and designing the wedding of Kerrie (my daughter and business partner) and her husband Ed, we have now set up Talking Points Interiors Shop @ Chequers Hotel Pulborough.

So many guests have been commenting on the decor and carefully selected pieces around the hotel that we thought it made sense to offer them the opportunity to buy them so the Talking Point Interiors Shop @ Chequers has opened!

Our latest stock includes this fabulous Hungarian trunk Chest:

A recent trip to Geneva

My blogger has moved to Geneva so a visit was in order to see how she had settled in. Also a fantastic excuse to have a look at Geneva, the Old Town and little side streets – and best of all to hop on the Tram for a day trip to Carouge.

Carouge

Carouge is a small artisan suburb of Geneva -To this day, the city of Carouge has retained its Mediterranean-like atmosphere. Its bustling streets and many shaded squares invite one to stroll.

Trendy boutiques, antiques and curios dealers, restaurants and bistros ensure a warm and congenial ambience.

The pretty streets, with the houses painted in a hue of beautiful shades have given me fantastic inspiration for some forthcoming interior design and furniture painting projects.

As I wondered along some of the quaint streets, I had a chance to look inside a couple of antique/vintage furniture shops - one full of French mirrors and another crammed with vintage pieces – more inspiration and I also purchased a French Stockman Mannequin – becoming increasingly difficult to source, as well as a French Leather Vintage Club Chair and a lovely Vintage Trunk/Pirates Chest and more

New stock will be on the website very shortly!

After a busy day – off to the French Village of Chatel to relax for a couple of days before returning home to the UK to start on my new assignments/projects.


I will be returning to Geneva  after Xmas to undertake an Interior Design Project
