A DOSE OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND A PINT OF FRENCH WAYS…
Or should I say ‘a dose of French and a pint of photography’?! Does it matter? It's alchemy of life… You choose to have a dose of this and a pint of that; or a pint of that and a dose of this...
Well, I would like to celebrate life and alchemy… Recently I found this fantastic French photographer that has become a great inspiration to me. His photographs are romantic, candid and graceful. Henri Cartier-Bresson: considered to be the father of photojournalism. For me: he is the ‘poet of photography’. It's interesting that before I came to discover Henri Cartier-Bresson, I used to photograph very similarly to his style… It’s been pure intuition to photograph people in their environment and in their magnificent moments… When I found out that I was imitating this legend of photography without knowing anything about the subject of “photojournalism” or his personal style, it reminded me again that art is nothing more than just an imitation after imitation… because art is an imitation of life, and life imitates art.

GET THE LOOK SERIES: Urban Classic Poet
RG Art & Design, my interior design firm would like to share one of its new services, E-Design Package. We create packages of design that are customized according to the client’s taste. The contact between the client and designer is via email, and delivery of the package is done by mail. As a result, you don’t have to live in New York City, where we are located, to have a room designed by us! To learn more about the online design service visit RG Online Design Packages’s page, and you would find out what is included in the package, about prices, how it's works, etc…
I would like to share one item that comes inside the design package service: a furniture collection. Below it is a sample of a bedroom furniture collection, which I called "Urban Classy Poet"; created by RG Art & Design. Plus, you also can find where each item of the collection comes from... a few of some of our helpful affordable sources.

BELGIUM DESIGN – LEFEVRE INTERIORS
I met Greet Lefevre online… The first time I heard about Lefevre Interiors was from one of my favorite blogs - The Skirted Roundtable. I thought she was adorable and brave during the interview with the ladies from The Skirted Roundtable. While I was listening tp the interview I kept thinking… “Oh, my God! Isn’t she nervous?! It must be hard speaking in your second language during a live interview over the phone?!” Anybody who speaks a second language would understand that it is not an easy task! I adored listening about her family's business history (since 1890) and about Belgium design. Greet and I became connected virtually and are supporters of each other’s blog. Hope that one day I can visit Belgium; and thank her in person. She seems to be a sweet person and a humble talented designer.
Below you can enjoy some of the company's designs:
I have to say that I have a crush on black & white
checkered flooring...
Solitude... A key of elegant design.
Oh, MY!!! I LOVE all!!! From this dining space!!!
I can't stop loving this window and this floor... and the neutral soft palette!
