Love the windows

how amazing are the beautiful doors, one fan of the movie hired a helicopter to fly over the Hamptons to find the house and offered to buy it, but the owners said it wasn't for sale! the actual inside how-ever are only movie sets and were demolished after the movie, wouldn't you love to be at that garage sale!

Somethings gotta give.........

I know!!! I'm a little obsessed by this amazing house in the movie "somethings gotta give" but as it was on TV last night I couldn't help myself to blog about it. i just love the whole house and don't get me started on the kitchen!

my dream beach house

This is definately my dream beach house i love it , i guess i better keep dreaming for now anyway!

inspiration...

Today was the perfect rainy day to "pull a sicky" as I am the boss I found hundreds of reasons why I should go to work and lots of excuses why I didn't go! Dont get me wrong i love what i do but with building my home, extending my shop, interior jobs galore, my six kids, enough is enough, so I spent the day blogging and had lots of laughs as like minded woman blog away in there spare time. (what spare time!) I discovered today so many inspiring mums who have chosen to stay home with there kids but have created hobbies that have turned out to be serious businesses! they are a true inspiration and there creative talents are amazing. Today i bought for our store a bunch of gorgeous raggerty dolls each with there own personalities, handmade out of vintage fabrics each doll being completely unique, in a over commercialised world i hope lots of little girls learn the secret of just using there imagination and simply playing with there dolls!

our new collection

This natural linen slip cover is our new range of slip covered furniture arriving in store, we have beautiful slip cover dining chairs,bar stools and lounges, under the slip cover is a fully upholstered linen chair, so it is so easy to change the fabric on the slip cover to any colour of fabric you want.

slip covers

For our new children's area i have upholstered a wing back chair in gorgeous soft pink linen but i have finished the bottom in a frill in the same fabric to make it girlie and the feet painted white, i have beautiful white linen cushions made with pink french scroll embroidered to the front in the initials LG. I'm having one also made for my daughter lily and i have matched her bed-head in the same pink linen and piped the edges in white, its all very pink but her room is contrasted in lots of white, ill post an image as soon as its finished!

slip covers

slip covers are such a great idea for childrens rooms, a more grown up chair that they can snuggle up on and read a book but can easily be changed as they grow older for a different look.
