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:

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’:

O’h and a sneak peak of my new brooch designs.
For the Brighton festival she created a unique collection of necklaces and earrings bringing these ideas together so individual she can hardly bare to part with them, each one a personal favourite.
Katie is undertaking commissions transforming treasured pieces, be they old dusty brooches, hat-pins or lonely earrings which need bringing back to life as a necklaces. 
What pieces do you have rolling around the bottom of your jewellery box that could be idolised and remarked upon once more”? 
O’h they’re so lovely I feel like I’ve been transported back in time! Finding it difficult to choose between them, I can see how they must be very hard to give up Katie. Displayed beautifully as well with all those gorgeous cups and bottles. 
Well, I don’t know about you but I’m already looking to see what I have knocking around! 
My lovely interior designer friend Ben, went along to meet him and photograph the stall for me, thanks Benji! 
Look at the great range of stuff he sells! He customizes some of the pieces too, to give them a great new look. Casper, if you’re reading this, thank you and I’ll be visiting and no doubt purchasing when I’m in Brighton.

Denmark has a history of naïve painters and I think Nanna is one of the best contemporary naïve painters here in DK. The titles of her works touch a chord in you as they have a familiarity for all of us, especially those with children. 
I like how she incorporates vintage wallpapers into her paintings and how she creates textures using acrylic, oil bars, crayons and pens.
Well, that’s all for now, hope you’re feeling inspired, I’ll be back next week to show you some pictures from the exhibition. Have a great and sunny week! 
I found this brass chandelier in a charity shop, looking like it had seen better days. I’ve used old quilt fabrics; I find that they have a lovely faded quality that I like. Went the whole hog on this one and decided to wrap the links of the chain with embroidery cotton and wool to tie the colours together. The only new item I’ve used are the wooden balls which again I wrapped to form decoration where you would normally have crystals on a glass chandelier. Added some paper mache flowers, some bias binding and some paint for the candlestick parts and ‘Voila’! 
I secretly want to keep this one but I always feel like that when I finish a piece! I must get a grip, and sell it! 
I think it’s quite a fun piece now with the ribbons and the wrapping, and the light has a really warm tone when it’s on, so will be nice for cosy evenings. 
I’m still playing around with ideas for the trimming, hence the pinned lace doilies! 
Have just started a larger bowl to exhibit along with these and am experimenting with stitching some of them too. 
Thanks everyone for continuing to follow my blog and for the lovely and sometimes funny comments you leave, they make me smile.

Her work is concerned with memory, gaps in memory, intimacy, community and humility. Lets all work together to make Elvis’s Pom-pom event as spectacular as possible.
I am now up and running again and will endeavour to finish my two new lamps so I can document them on here next week.
