The Block 2012 - Did you see us????




Are you all as addicted to The Block as some of us are here at French and English? We even scheduled our staff meeting last night to make sure we were all home in time to catch the 2nd episode!
If you managed to catch it, you may have noticed our beautiful Melbourne store and products made an appearance.
Both of the teams did a great job, have a look below at what they came up with in such a short time and see if you can spot our products!



Two of our Becall Chairs in the lovely Italian Stone Linen ($499 in store now) and one of our French Scene Paintings in the middle (All individually hand painted starting from only $149)

Our beautiful Avignon 1 and 2 Drawer Consoles worked in perfectly in the Bedroom. And yes, if these are exactly what you were after, they are both available straight away! Only $399 for the one drawer side table and $799 for the two drawer in villa white (there's a better view for you below!)

We can't wait to see what the other teams come up with this week. With soooo many choices and sooooo little time it must be quite overwhelming really.

We wish them all luck and look forward to seeing the results!
