Thank you Rene. Thank you for your amazing generous talent. Thank you for your incredible energy, spirit and that constant smile.

Thank you. 

I know the project is not over, but I cannot wait until the end to tell you thank you, so I am going to say it now, Thank you!

The first coat of paint.

Somewhere along the line I am going to have to pick a color…

And lights,

and a direction of interior design.

But for now, it is such a pleasure to just see it as it is:

A miracle in the making.

The amount of work that has been done is such a pleasure to watch unfold. To see the skill Rene has. I am utterly impressed.

To imagine something and have someone be able to take it to reality and beyond, is impressive.

The stairs will go here.

    Has he installed the new windows?
    White primer has certainly made it look light/airy.

    Every time I see your photos of your new home and the view of Cassis, all I can do is sigh. So beautiful and the Mediterranean blue of the water and the colorful fishing boats…..

    Just beautiful. I visited a bookstore in Barrington, R.I. USA and read the article about you and pied a terre Paris in Victoria Magazine. What a treat. You’re famous!

    It looks fantastic. I think the color that’s already there (the white) looks about as good as it will get for color. It makes it open, airy, light as a feather, and will accommodate any style of furniture.

    I’m not all about white, but I love it in your fisherman’s cottage; so fresh and perfect for the seaside! Rene’s craftsmanship is amazing; how fortunate you are to have him.

    Totally agree about them making the place open, airy and light, in spite of what boded to be the exact opposite.

    Dearest Corey,
    Once again I am in awe of what you accomplish and how grace works with you. In this case your Rene. I view the “Days Progress” and all I can think of is the minimalist look at the moment and of Matisse’s Chapel at Vence. I have not been there but hope to before my life is over. I have walked in front of your port “Chapel” five years ago without knowing it at the time. I will in the future think of this apartment as Corey’s
    blessed Chapel in Cassis. Your Rene and family are the grace which delivers it to you.
    Thank you, so very much for my daily Provencal visit.

    And those photos of the water and all: oh my.
    Today I have on my flouncy black and white skirt, black top, black leggings, black sandals. I told David “these clothes make me want to go to France!”

    What a difference the white made! It’s so light & airy. The white adds dimension, visually, that makes the space look twice as big. What fun to watch your work unfold. Renee is truly amazing! As are you!
