I'M ON THE MOVE...

OK - people...I'm on the move! AND, I'm hoping you'll come with me?

47ParkAvenue will no longer be living here on Blogspot!

You can now find the blog and my little online store over at...

www.47parkavenue.co.uk 

Reception 1 to do list...

I cant stop feeling like everything I'm doing is WRONG and I'm making too many mistakes, I haven't a Fluffing clue what I'm doing or where I'm going!!!

I'm not one of those interior designer folk that live and breath all of this...

( HUGE LIE - IT'S ALL CONSUMING )

There are only two areas in the house that I really like...My dressing room and Home Office, Is this because they look more finished than everywhere else?

I know this is a process I've got to get through...BUT - I'm SO over it at the moment!

Anyway - Because of how I'm feeling about things, I made a few purchases over the weekend to see if its going to help me get out this frame of mind and have pulled together some sort of TO DO LIST!

On my Reception 1 to do list...

1 - Re paint ceiling in Farrow & Ball Off black instead of the Pitch black we already have.

2 - Keep All White Farrow and Ball on walls and floor just freshen up.

3 - Ive just purchased this floor cushion in a petrol blue, medium in size as this room is crying out for texture among other stuff!

4 - Remove pineapple based lamp from the hospital trolly and replace with NEW lamp ( image below ).

5 - Also purchased at the weekend 2 of these jugs ( image below ) I'm thinking on slate hearth!

6 - Another one of these floor cushions ( image below ) in purple to sit next the arm chair within the bay window.

7 - I've asked Martin to remove this door and shelve this wall...from top to bottom and up and over the door frame.

I'm planing on painting the shelves in Farrow and Ball Down pipe ( images below ).

8 - Replace concrete based lamp on table with the other NEW lamp ( image below ) Planter needed for Fiddle leaf + the addition of the chair in the last image which was again purchased at the weekend.

Even though all of this is in the pipe line...I bet you, when all of this is done and dusted! 

It will only shine a light on 10 other things that need to be addressed!

Reception 1...Before&Afters...

My mother LOVED this house before I apparently wrecked it...

"It was SO - homely and cosy"

At least I now know what kind of nursing home to stick her in when she starts wearing nappy's again! 

( JOKING )

Just look at the mess Ive made so far...AND - as this is very much work in progress its going to be an even bigger mess when Im done!

It just needs MORE,  LOTS MORE...of everything! 

To be honest...I do like a little bit of chintz, if you follow me on FACEBOOK you'll what I mean, BUT - this kinda chintz doesn't do it for me...thats why it had to go.

I think you call it, GRANNY ATTIC CHIC!

I know this doesn't look too HOT at the moment, SO - I'm going to reupholster both chairs and even though I LOVE this lamp, I'm planing on changing it to something bigger!!!

 

What am I going to do with that SATAN box? 

Why cant the company's that make these hideous things have colour options when it comes to the screen? 

A black screen for dark walls and a white screen for those of us the have white.

SIMPLES!!!

Reception 1...

I saw this pair of mirrors the other week and have been stalking them daily, But - haven't got around to doing anything about it. 

1 - TOO busy. 2 - They're in London. 3 - Just too LAZY!!!

( Another...BUT! but a big one...)

BUT - The 2 Fiddle leaf Fig trees that I ordered from Holland have just touched down in London and need collecting ASAP.

SO - I'm planning on killing 2 birds with one stone. 

I'm going to be selling my FABULOUS wheat sheaf wall lights online @ www.47parkavenue.co.uk

( Launching very soon! )

And - The reason Ive decided to sell them, is because of this image below...

I need to figure out what I'm going to do with the wires to the left of Jonathan's desk?

You may recognise the floor lamp by Jonathan's desk?...It came from the bedroom at home.

Same again with the art work?...that also came from the house! I've had them reframed and mounted.
