Home Update


The light almost looks like a crown sitting on her head in this picture!! I also love that the background design in the painting almost looks a bit Art Deco - does anyone else see this??


Things are starting to take shape at home. Today I thought I'd show you some of the progress I've had in one area. I created this tablescape above last night on a chest of drawers I have placed in my entrance hallway. I purchased the Antique Italian light for my shop a year or so ago but when we bought the house I decided it was just perfect for this spot in my new entry so home it came. We painted all the old stained timber picture rails, doors etc. white and the walls too which were previously a caramel colour. My Bromley was the perfect piece for this entry wall - I'm sure I'll get a few "OMG's" from my friends when they come over and see her there!! Just before we moved I was lucky enough to purchase a first edition copy of Osa Johnson's I Married Aventure via Paris Hotel Boutique. Thanks must go to Courtney for introducing me to this book which I intend to read over the Christmas holidays but for now it sits with some of my other bits on my hall table for me to look at and enjoy.
