Having painted my little wall cupboard red, I have been moving some of my possessions around to create more of a red theme within the room. (I see them afresh when they are in a new situation.) The cloth on top of the cupboard is a vintage curtain- it was lined in lime gingham, which I think is fun. There is nothing precious or expensive here- just things that appeal to me.
I painted the little set of shelves in the same red as the wall cupboard.
Our old wooden bench now has our red eiderdown on it as a seat pad.
On the wall is a piece of my favourite French fabric in a white painted frame. We hope to have the small painted cupboard on the wall soon, to complete the room. Paint is a wonderful invention!- the look of a room can change quickly and cheaply!....So when I tire of red....
I love your home! you have an amazing talent,I love to use gingham around the house also,if I only have a small amount of vintage fabric I can always improvise with gingham!lovely pics,I so enjoy your blog!

ReplyDeleteOh oh oh I'm excited! How very beautiful! I would move in at once! I love when people know to decorate their home like you certainly do! I love all the red accents and how clever to frame some rose fabric and that bench looks soo lovely! Which magazine was it? Could you not take a picture of the article and photos for us pretty please? Or am I a bit to nosy now? *blushes*
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, (and all)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments. My home was featured in '25 Beautiful Homes' July 2006. I felt the best features were not shown, it all looked quickly put together and my business was hardly mentioned.
I shall be away until Sept 5th, so will sort out some pictures from it when I get back.
