avant et aprés (before & after!)

know how our readers love these ... here's recent pics and there are 4 new pieces in shop now, freshly finished and awaiting their new home!

but here you go, to whet your appetites!

Coming soon !

Mignonne Décor has secured an off-site art & workspace for our furniture renovation services. Located in the artsy enclave of Magnolia Street in Oakland, clients will soon be able to schedule time to preview upcoming stock pieces as well as consult with Johnelle on their design projects.

Our popular design and furniture revamping services have outgrown our boutique space and we felt it was time to expand into a separate area dedicated to the ongoing projects versus our finished pieces on offer in the boutique.

Johnelle Mancha, proprietaire, was just featured as a "Stylemaker" in Sunday's SF Chronicle's home section...Her unique design vision was highlighted and, whether you are looking to update one piece of furniture, have a room in your home ... or a business / retail space in need of transformation ... Johnelle can help bring your vision to life.

Making a "Scene"

We're so excited to see Johnelle Mancha (proprietaire) and Mignonne Décor featured in the Spring 2010 issue of Scene Magazine!

This issue of Scene, The East Bay Woman's Guide to Style, includes a feature entitled "Cross Culture", focusing on female entrepreneurs who are local tastemakers. Johnelle, with her international background and design-forward style, is interviewed in the spread. She talks about the influences and inspirations she uses to create her unique designs ... France, of course, is a major theme. Click HERE to see more!

Scene is a quarterly journal that is brimming with design and fashion ideas from the local Bay Area scene. Find it at your favorite bookstore!
