If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed my obsession with hand painted wallpapers. De Gournay, Gracie, Zuber… I love them all! So naturally, when I spied the London apartment of Hannah Cecil Gurney, director of de Gournay and daughter of the company’s founder, I became a little giddy. Hand painted wallpaper for days!!

Tearing down those beautiful papers every six months sorta makes me want to cry. I never understood that sort of decorating. Once something is right, it's right, and only needs occasional tweaking.
Holy moley!!!
I'm with you on this! Love it!
We sell the DeGournay to our more discerning clients.
