cupboard love

I'm smitten with Bryonie Porter's wallpaper covered vintage dressers and drawers. Now I'm pretty sure I can't afford her £300 plus commission fee to attack one of my old bits of furniture with the best of Timorous Beasties or Osbourne and Little's papers, but I'm seriously considering a smaller scale attempt at it myself, watch this space for the (possibly awful) results sometime in the future...

Hows about a little bit of interior décor porn to start off the new year?

seven random things - the versatile blogger award

via here Hello world. It feels like ages ago, but I mentioned a while back that the very kind Erin from Dropped Stitches awarded me the Versatile Blogger Award which I was very pleased to receive, and as is customary with these awards I promised a random facts post, so here it is... 1.

I've been to Australia twice but never visited Sydney. Seems a bit silly but I simply wasn't motivated to go there, I had precious little time and money and I was chiefly there to visit one of my best friends so instead I explored Melbourne and drove along the long winding Great Ocean Road on the south coast instead, stayed in amazing beach front houses in little surfing towns and explored the temperate rain forest. Twice. 3. I went to an all girls high school. which had 3 all boys scho...
