Relocation, relocation

Thank you, thank you to those of you who haven’t deleted me during my last 3 months without blogging. Moving country is a stressful business!

Finally getting settled after moving twice in 10 weeks. My new apartment is looking better after a quick revamp, and I’ve purchased a couple of new editions to the living room décor, not perhaps everyone’s taste but I love them!

After my lovely shabby chic farm in Denmark I’ve gone for a more grown up and glamorous look. Here’s a couple of pictures.

Think the old coffee table will have to go, doesn’t look good with the new stuff! Looking for a mirrored one if anyone’s seem one.

Started work on a new body of mixed media paintings, these ones are not finished but nearly there

For those of you in and around London in the next couple of weeks, head out to ‘Craft Central’, 33-35 St Johns Square, London, EC1 4DS, where there is an exhibition of emerging new talent such as Laura Felicity who produces beautiful decorative products such as this silkscreen printed wallpaper. See her at http://www.laurafelicity.co.uk/

For more info and a peak at other exibitors such as “Undergrowth design” see www.craftcentral.org.uk

So Many Gorgeous Rooms

Finally made it back to my computer in time to blog this week!

It’s been a bit mad since I got back from my holidays, trying to catch up with everything. Isn’t it always like that? Still I had a great time in the UK, which involved a bit of work for my Interiors site, as well as pleasure. See http://www.boboho.com/ over the next few weeks for three new and amazingly different homes.

Here’s a sneak peak

Moving to the city
Once we have a buyer for our home here, we hope to re-locate back to the UK or to a Danish city.

All this has got me thinking about new and glamorous surroundings. My home here is a lovely farmhouse so the laid back ‘shabby style’ that I have is perfectly suited to this type of building, which is just as well because most of my peeling paint furniture, from flea markets, or salvaged elsewhere, is looking very worn by now, but I still love it.

We may keep a small wooden summer house here in DK where all the stuff I currently have, will look great.

Regency apartment
In the city however, I’m fancying myself in a period apartment, Regency preferably or something Victorian with large bay windows, and splendid proportions. This would do:

Or this one:

And I love this:
When I do get one………….I’ll have wallpaper, screen printed on sustainable paper, like this gorgeous design from Emma Molony:

Or this design classic from Florence Broadhurst, called ‘The Cranes’:

Or this from design duo extraordinaire Timorous Beasties:

So many lovely possibilities! Can’t wait! Think I’m dreaming a tad, since my bank balance doesn’t exactly match my desires!!! Especially with the Florence Broadhurst, but hey, a girl’s allowed to dream! Anyone got a panel left over? ☺

Since I got back, I’m loving the new blogs by Hyggelig Happy, and Amystitch and these gorgeous knitted items by designer Claire Platt, take a look.

O’h and a sneak peak of my new brooch designs.
