I have always loved the look of Chesterfields but, the back is too low to be comfortable. I'm about to change our sofa and am having great trouble finding the right one. I love your camel back. Gorgeous. XXXX; August 13, 2011 at 9:07 AM

You are a wild lady and i love it!! My favorite the classic Chesterfield and the contemporary red and white.
Am off to Roque Island (Maine) to morrow with a stop at my father in Law in Damarascotta. Can't wait but saying prayers we have good weather; August 14, 2011 at 4:20 PM

About Yvonne

Yvonne started painting and drawing in High School in Houston Texas. She earned extra money drawing insects in science class for classmates.

Yvonne's mother encouraged her to attend art classes at the Art Museum in Houston in the 1960's.

After her marriage she moved to Miami Beach, while living on Palm Island she continued her education in art, and Design. Also studied with notable artist from the area.

Yvonne was painted by friend Florence Taylor Kushner, from Boston and in women's Who's Who. Florence painted many famous families. Yvonne was lucky enough to receive private tutoring from her.

In the 1970's she went to Interior Design School .
Years later she started her own Interior Design firm named 'Chez Moi Interior's.

Yvonne continued painting and showing her work at Beau Arts in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Also she exibhited her work in North Carolina, the Florida Keys, and at the Childers Art Gallery on Las Olas Blvd (Ft. Lauderdale).

Yvonne won the prestigious 'Hortt Art Competition Award' at the Museum of Ft.Lauderdale, Florida. This work of art remained on display for several months at the Museum. Over the years Yvonne has entered many competitions winning countless blue ribbons.

A trip to Paris, and a stay in Monmarte where she spent time with a few choice artist's changed her views toward her own art work.

Art is truly an expession of experience and love to her.

She likes her work to show a moment in time or tell a story.
