Home Improvements: After

Hello lovelies!

This is a rare glimpse into the elusive home of the top designer in Dartford: Yours Truly. Oh brother. If furniture was cheaper and we had a way to move it, you are darn tootin' we would be moving this stuff out and moving chic-er stuff in. Alas, we are stuck with the blue beauties. What they lack in looks, however, they more than make up for in comfort.

I prettied them up this weekend as much as humanly possible (god, that droopy centre cushion is really embarrassing me) by buying a throw (more like a huge, warm blanket!) and some pillows. And voila! A nice(r) living room :)



I'm laughing my head off right now. I assure you that the pillows are actually NICE and are not a throw-back to 1974, as the photographs would imply. They are fresh, and colourful. I should just delete these, shouldn't I? How much can you REALLY do with a BLUE sofa and matching (atrocious) chairs? Be kind.



But the moment you have all be waiting for...the bookshelf pictures have finally been revealed.

Take a peek!






Full effect...



Les Filles alla NYC...



Postcards from Florence and from the National Portrait Gallery...



Who says you can't have a birdbath in the house, on your bookshelf? Not this guy.




My travel guides...



Ah, and in the boudoir, a new tray to highlight all my goodies.



And a makeup organizer, since the apple that Jamie's mum gave me was getting a little beat up under all that rouge.






Feeling more at home now. Living the dream, folks.

Got an out-of-the blue email from Leanne today: was nice, my God. Thanks for writing, beauty!

I hope you are feeling great as well :)

I love love fests. You should move here and then we can have our OWN comfy sofas. Right?

Miss you.
