Week 5 - January/ February 2020

Tuesday 28th

Ahhhhh....home sweet home.

MrD & I had a wonderful time in Barcelona but it’s always lovely to get back to your own bed, have full access to the fridge and give your dogs (& kids) a big fat cuddle.
Now, I just need to get back into the swing of things....

Throwing it back this morning to show off my beautiful vintage String shelves. They used to live up the road from me in a neighbours home, where they had been since the late 1960s. I had admired them when I visited and my neighbour informed me that her late husband, (an architect obviously with impeccable taste in classic furniture!) only bought furniture that was made to last. Consequently, she was never allowed to replace these pieces even as, over the years, they fell in & out of fashion. Several years after her husband’s passing, she decided the time had come to say goodbye to her String Shelving system and replace it with something new. Luckily for me, she remembered how much I had swooned over them and kindly gave me ‘first dibs!’ As you can imagine, I jumped at the chance and handed my cash over faster than the speed of light!

My neighbour is happy to be choosing new shelving after over 50 years but knows that her beloved husband would be happy in the knowledge that they now take pride of place only a few doors away.

Hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend. It’s been another fairly uneventful one here and consequently, I’m feeling fully rested up and ready to take on February 💪🏼Determined to make this month a good one by completing at least one mini makeover. Hmmmm....now just need to decide which room’s gonna get it! 🤔

Here’s a room makeover I did last year using Korallang wallpaper by Hanna Werning for Borastapeter from Wallpaper Direct. You can buy it here The prints were from Hello Pea & Me ** and the patterned towels from Christy **
