A wonderful video as why we collect and what it means to us...
My friend Barbara sent this video to me saying she thought of of me when she watched it.
ah lovely, to be thought of by this video.
I love everything he says xxx little did she know how much I admire his style.
If I could be as wise and as gifted as he is with design.
A hero of style.
My sister always says half joking and half looking for reassurance i think,.... EVERYTHING IS STOCK-meaning it will or can be sold - we do not sell ....yet- there are a few objects for sentiment i would cherish ....but it is true-if i needed to sell it i would...because i could

I agree with all he said, it is very true to live in a place you love and reveals who you are! Also that it can be your sanctuary.

Thank you for sharing Corey, I too have always admired his style. I asked for one of his books as a Christmas present once. His home (castle) looks amazing. I love the light and the colours.

I had just recently found this piece on Axel Vervoordt and so it is nice to know you have seen it also. I have several books of his work, understated but also full of texture and layers, as I imagine your homes are. Oh to have a visit to his homes in person! Cheers Jennie in NZ

I love a home that is full of things, beautiful and interesting things. Meanwhile back in the back of my mind, something keeps saying, "Who is dusting all this?" So I hired a cleaning service.

Living with beautiful things. I can relate fully with this. Thank you for sharing the AV video.

Wow! I love his philosophy of mixing old and new. His home is so beautiful. As I watched the video, each room had a different feel. I love that. Thanks for sharing. This is very inspirational.

So beautiful. I will watch it over and over. I pause when I want to stare at one of his lovely "objet De art". Now I understand why I collect items from nature, so humble, so perfect.

Corey and followers; I found this video online a while back. Mr. Surendra is truly talented and a lover of living with art as is Mr. Vervoordt
I think you will like it.

If the video won't pull up just type in Rajiv Surendra in your browser. it's worthwhile.

I am wondering if I know this
Barbara. We went to his work place and another time visited his home.

I've loved Axel Vervoordt ever since I saw the home he designed for Katia and Marielle Labeèque over 20 years ago. I had to find out more about him when I saw it. I have visited -- made pilgrimages to-- Kanaal. It is stunning. So beautifully curated. Well worth a visit.
