The pouffe itself isn't particularly old, but it has been embellished with fragments of antique Indian saris around the top, which I loved. |
The patchwork of beautiful silk and embroidered pieces make it so unusual. |
And the colours work perfectly with all of the other textiles in the room... |
Have you had the tour before?... |
One of the cupboards has a French fabric behind chicken wire panels in the doors. Another cupboard has cotton toile curtains to hide its contents. |
The sofas are covered in a mixture of textiles, including pieces of hand stitched quilt used as snugly cushion covers. |
One has a bolster to add comfort along the back, which is covered in yet more antique French textiles. |
A 'cosy quilt' over the foot stool makes an easy clean cover. |
Eiderdowns stored for cosy winter evenings later in the year. |
One of my rag dolls looks down on the room from her high vantage point on top of the dresser. |
A violin covered in fabric...because every home should have one! ;-)) |
A wooden box with fabric tacked onto each surface, hides some of my reading material...(Mostly old interior magazines that I can't bare to part with!) |
Framed fabric as pretty as a picture. |
A hand embroidered linen cloth softens a painted wooden apple box we use to store our logs for the fire. |
A touch of lace. |
Lavender sachets on a mirror frame. |
Two little bags swing from a drawer handle. The small one came from Christine a long time ago. |
A lampshade in another one of my favourite fabrics. |
Antique textiley treasures inside a glazed cabinet, collected over many years. |
A touch more lace at the window, hides the frames that I dislike so much |
A dramatic quilt that I use over my knees when I need to feel warm in true Granny-chic style! :) |
More lavender creations...The ballet boot sachet was a gift from Ginny almost 5 years ago now! Gulp! |
I can move in tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteWell I wouldn't know where to start ooing and ahhing at all those lovely textiles. Your room looks really cosy. I will say how much I love that pouffe though. No wonder you couldn't leave it.
ReplyDeleteYou and I would do much damage together at an antique fair ! lol
ReplyDeleteI feel so much better when I see somebody else's passions running throught their veins like they do in mine.
Your collection is simply divine and I have really truly enjoyed admiring it all. Thankyou for sharing the beauty x
