SOLD
The Andrew Logan "On Your Marks" exhibition closed today and...
... i sold a painting....yaaaay.....so excited.
We've spent the last few weeks being busy getting the house sorted ready for our summer visitors, Cathy, Garth and family arrived last Friday night for a flying visit, a stop over before a wedding in Chester, it was lovely to see them all. We had a mad dash to get the guest bedroom finished....remember this?
and this?
Well this is now.
The wardrobe, as you know we found at the auction last week was the finishing touch for this room, it looks amazing.
I painted two old battered chairs in yellow "1829" paint to use as bedside tables and the hearts/flowers/birds hanging above the bed was a collection of bits and bobs we picked up on our holiday in Northumberland a few years ago.
The patchwork bedcover is a modern one from Cavania and is doubled over here, we also have a blue and pink one! The blanket folded over the end of the bed is a gorgeous vintage cover that i picked up from a boot sale a few years ago. The gorgeous button cushions are from Jo's daughter Max of Tilly Tea Dance and are available at Indigo Moon and her etsy shop.
The middle floor corridor
nearly finished, we found two gorgeous limited edition prints of Hares from the art gallery at Bishops Castle by Eileen Turner
and two old printer trays which will eventually go on the wall as "Cabinets of Curiosities", collecting things at the moment.
I love these chairs, when we bought them we weren't entirely sure where they would go but they're perfect here.
Gorgeous hand made vase from the gallery here in Montgomery, the handle is coated in gorgeous green glass from recycled bottles, but, i can't remember the name of the artist, sorry.
The Bathroom
Best to ignore the red curtains here - i'm still trying to find what will work. I love this bathroom, it's mostly Nicci's at the moment (she shares it with visitors) the roll top bath is lovely painted in this symphony grey with silver feet.
...and this gorgeous jar with soap and bath bombs in is Nicci's touch
So thats the house so far, all the mess has moved to the top floor for the time being but that's off bounds to everyone except me and Gav so it works out ok. We're just doing a few alterations in the kitchen and then we'll make a start on the top floor.
THese made me laugh. When nicci moved here a few weeks ago she brought a load of old photos from the attic...i love this one i took of her, she was about nine or ten years old and was dressed up as victorian child ready for a school trip to St Fagans...so cute.
and this...OMG me with my junior school class!!!! i'm front row second from the left...Ha! Probably the same age as Nicci in the photo above! Scary!!
