I haven’t written here for a while. Much of the summer I’ve been away on holiday, plus I’ve changed jobs (the 9-6ish kind that pays the bills), moved house, started dogsitting little miss Winnie (the pug), AND am about to move my lovely fella into the house too – eep! not 100% about that last bit as he sits beside me singing along to TV ads as I write – !!!
One of the most pleasurable parts of the above is the furnishing of our lovely new home – on my meager (but thankfully existent) public service wage!
So here’s how it’s looking now – obviously much more to be done, and crap iPhone photos… but you get the idea.
The stairway (pictured) and bathroom are what I have my sights set on now. I’m thinking some kind of messy display of pictures hung in the stairs; a mixture of photos, art, fabric patterns and random bits. Any sugguestions/inspiration? send them my way!
I’ve bought a sofa from Ikea that I plan to replace the covers with some gorgeous Designers Guild slipcovers from Bemz, some Eames chair knock-offs from bluesuntree, the new table from made.com I wrote about a while ago – which I’ve promptly fallen in love with!
I can’t help but be inspired by my previous home, the Garden Flat (designed by the one and only miss Dinon). But now that I’m hooked on interior design, the design blogs out there have been amazing inspiration – especially these ones out of the U.S. – and most especially this one Copy Cat Chic. Perfect for resourceful, penniless public service worker bees like me.
This bathroom is going to be my starting point – love the grey, dark wood and white towels. Fresh!
