mini

I LOVE this mini chair. Thinking of mini upholstery projects...

In Situ

Finders Keepers


I found this chair frame at work and was offered it as an upholstery project after a few subtle ("wow i love that chair") hints..

Due to a severe lack of pennies, I had to improvise with the choice of fabric covering...I found some left over material from my first chaise project and an off cut from a vintage dress that I had altered.






Nursing Chair for Coco

My friend Karen recently had a beautiful baby girl called Coco. This sad old nursing chair was donated to her and in serious need of some attention! Karen asked me to use Cath Kidston fabric as this was the theme for her nursery. Pom-poms and polka dots a go-go...

Beautiful Barcelona

so we went on a little jaunt to Barcelona last week...
all photos courtesy of the lovely Lucia Albanese thanks to my bag being pinched from Parc de la Ciutadella... (i partly blame my lack in concentration as I lay in the scorchio sun, but mainly blame the speedy actions of said thief...so quick that I didn't even see him!) fingers crossed for insurance pay out...
Here are a select few images of the apartment that was our home for four days..
