Hall...

Apologies yet again for the lack of updates! Super busy with one or another - ANYWHO!!!...I spent my 1st real day off in weeks taking pictures of the house yesterday and pulling together some updates for you.

So here we go...

We finally got around to having the ceiling under the staircase painted Farrow and Ball Pitch Black with an egg shell finish...

Click here for images of how the staircase looked before it was painted black!

Its taken a few days to get use to, its had a HUGE impact on the light! BUT - I LOVE IT!!! It's done what I wanted, which was to high light the shape of the staircase and painting it in the same finish has made it look seamless...if that makes any sense!

Click here to see how the Hall has evolved over the past months!

We also have a NEW addition to the hall, which is this industrial warehouse window! Mirror is added to where the glass use to be.

HELP ME!!! PLEASE...

I'm going INSANE trying to find a stockist within the UK that sell these FLUFFING tiles!!! 

Can somebody HELP ME!!! PLEASE...

Reception 3...

This is number 3 from 3 red wing backed chairs that my mother purchased.

Hall...

My NEW door mat, well - its a door mat now!

Its actually a sample of a rug that the store will no longer be putting into production...SO - they where selling up the samples.

I didn't know at the time of purchasing it what I was going to do with it, BUT - my 6 sense was telling me to BUY! BUY! BUY! It was going cheap, SO - how could say no!!!

Anyway, I get it home and theres only one place for it ( OBVIOUSLY ) it would be completely useless for anything else.

I really must take time out find homes for some of this SHIZ! There's way TOO much going on here, its starting to give me a headache.

NEW crockery...

Something else other than BLUE! My NEW black and white crockery.

This is to go with my other black and white crockery! 

This shows just a small sample of what I've collected...I've cupboards full of the stuff

I like to mix it up with high end crockery with run of the mill stuff + antique/vintage finds.

BUT - Theres only one rule...it has to be Black & White!

Just one of the cupboards!!!

Reception 1...

Everything that is coming though the front door at the moment seems to be the same shade of BLUE!

I have no idea why! Could have something to do with my frame of mind...

Loving me NEW chair...I just need to style/pimp it up or move it to another room!
