Am staying on the case this morning of injecting pizzazz into spaces. No one does it better than actor and shop owner Tori Dixon White. Her interiors are beautifully eclectic almost as if she has been pottering around the globe picking up great pices. Yet there is a incredibly laid back vibe to her interiors sophisticated without being stuffy.
Do I need to say more, Tori’s art hugely transforms this space. The heap of cushions make it the perfect place to hang out. Very jealous!
Eclectic, quirky and fabulous when you lean art against walls and rest it on floors you create a super laid back nest. Forget that single piece of tiny art on a large wall with a horrid picture light over it (yuk I see it so many times ) and instead layer, mix up, hang, lean and most of all enjoy.
The devil is in the details as they say and flowers faux or otherwise add oodles of personality. I am incredibly lucky with Columbia Road flower market being minutes away from my home so every Sunday I buy little posies and bunches of whatever is in season to embellish the dining table. Of course the faux flowers hang out everywhere else from the balcony to the garden (yep huge bunches of faux hydrangers sit on my dining table outside) linking outside with in. Well must dash Maud is coming to work this morning and we have decided to walk in along the canal – here’s hoping there aren’t too many ducks. Maud isn’t so good with them.
I love the top picture. This is my all time favourite look, artist pad chic, nothing is to precious.
Hi, I am a hige fan, and i have a specfic question. In your Jan 5, 2010 blog An Inspired Plan there is a tall yellow lampshade (Living Etc. photo) Where can i get one!! Preferably hot pink but will consider any colour…. Have tried everywhere….. please help
That light I am afraid is a vintage one I picked up a few years ago. Haven’t seen many lampshades around like that either I would say the best thing to do is to commission some small lampshade maker to see if they can do something similar. Hope that helps
FABULOUS! LOVE those GIGANTIC cushions and love the art. All tantalising pictures with true individuality. Thanking you! oxo
Thank you for giving me confidence about the art in my house. I’m saving up to buy a couple of pieces from Ugandan artists, but right now I only have enough for a few folk sketches and cheaper pieces from budding art students around my country. I’ll certainly be looking into creative ways to display them.
As usual, love your blog and have totally ripped off every idea from your book … with a unique Ugandan flair of course
Thank you very much indeed very sweet words.
Your style is very very interesting, good luck at the Bluebeird, G;ad to have found your blog, always good to find peeps with a thirst for something different. S x
Thank you
