Living it up!....

Over at Livingetc in the gallery section they have posted more pics of Helen's beautiful home which she has lovingly restored. The first pic is a close up in her bedroom which includes my rocker print, the second one includes my sister's two domed grey handmade felt cushions and finally the third shows Helen's gorgeous G-Plan sideboard/drawers which I'm sure I could talk her into giving to me when we get drunk together! The artwork above is also Helen's own work which she has just sold. You can also see her stairs here and hopefully I will be interviewing her about her love of renovating and her weakness for cider very soon!

Friday feast...stairs!!!

I do have a bit of a thing for stairs especially a well designed spiral staircase.

Lofty ideas...

I've bought an angle grinder! Why would I buy such a dangerous big boys toy you may ask!? Well I finally decided to get rid of the metalwork in the loft! I have never liked it since first seeing it when viewing the flat and it was only a matter of time until I bit the bullet and attacked it. It was far too high and imposing and now the space looks so much bigger. It had to go anyway to make my life easier for putting the new flooring down, unfortunately I've realised that the the whole floor has to be covered with hardboard first. I will probably at some point be putting something back because of safety issues, I don't want to fly off the edge while sat in one of my Eames swivel chairs!!! I have considered glass or very minimal metalwork to match downstairs and eventually the spiral staircase will be replaced with another one but that will have to wait what with a new sofa coming soon...
