We would certainly have not found this lovely house without the help of Pascal Wagner
The renovation of the main house and annex was designed and project managed by our brilliant architect Véronique Surgot Meulien , ably assisted by her team of professional craftsmen who were full of help and imaginitive ideas
We would be absolutely nowhere without the creative and practical interior design assistance of the Ashby Design Studio
Our beautiful kitchens were designed and realised by Alain and Jerome Delon of Dans Ma Maison, near Chalon
Website design by the fabulous and very patient Steve Boal
Conceptual design and text by the fluffly Lisa Ashby
The fastest, and most professional, painting in the West was provided by Nathe, Nige and Leesiepoo with help from the apprentices
A big thank you also to Sylvain, Sharon, Monia, Emily and Victoria for their practical and moral support.
‘A drink to Soutine’ used as our logo, and in the Autumn bedroom, ‘Cheese wine and tomatoes (II)’ in the corridor with kind permission from Chris Gollon and IAP Fine Art see more of his fabulous work at IAPFineart.com and go and see his Stations of the Cross at St Johns Bethnal Green as well as other public collections such as the British Library and the University of Durham.
There are so many other people to thank for their help with this project and we apologise to anyone we have forgotten but Lisa and Nigel have been so fundamental to our actually finishing (well indeed starting if the truth be told) that they need just one more thank you!
