I am sticking with to walls today since they are one of the largest areas us designers have to work with and they can radically transform a room. Old photos, tear sheets, images from catalogues really cosy up a room and look fabulous as we discussed on Friday right -remember class? Anyway Mathew Williamson has done the very same thing to his bathroom in London (see below) and if you want to be bang on trend what about sheets of newspaper stuck to your walls coupled with a big canvas of bus roll font. Print on print, very cool, very cheap to do and super bold!
Spring is the air (or at least it was yesterday I felt the warmth of the sun on my skin for the very first time this year which was wonderful. So that’s me done – off to the gym, Bluebird for a re-stock and then a trade fair. Maud is off to school (have packed her lunch) although I think she has just hit the terrible two’s (is that possible for a puppy)? This weekend she has eaten my boots, jumped in the bath whilst I was in it and shocked both of us so badly I thought we were both going to keel over with a heart attack! She was covered in bubbles so I had to tear out of the bath chase her over the house, (whilst naked I might add) trying to catch her. The glamorous life I lead!
If Mathew Williamson is doing it it must be fabulous!
Font on font – am liking very much
Well, I am LAUGHING MY HEAD OFF!!!!! The joys of motherhood! Glad neither of you were hurt! It’s amazing how quickly you can move in an emergency isn’t it, and you don’t even remember afterwards! Did your life flash before you? !!! Hope you had a good LARGE whiskey after that! On the other note, the print on print is good! People are doing all kinds of things with the old humble newspaper these days… I wrapped an asian object in an asian newspaper a few years ago for a friend, and it did look very good, with a little garnish on the side! Think I used some foliage for that (not parsley!)…. Noticed people using newspaper to post parcels in too! Have to say, I think that looks a bit weird! Can’t beat the old fish and chips in them though! Hope you get a bit more sun coming through to warm your bones Abigail! I’ll send some over for you – too hot here! Are we EVER satisfied? !!! ENOUGH from me…. xo take care
The joys hey – and yes we have not sun as such but its mild and lovely and all the snow has gone – yipee
This looks gorgeous! I have a practical question… how do the cutouts stay up on the walls with all the damp? Is there a special product/glue that is being used here?
I have used spray mount which is a pretty tough clue and works for me in my kitchen- if you are worried though you could pin onto cork board and replace once every so often
