Today we've off to my parents to have a huge Sunday roast. My brother and his wife are coming from London to enjoy the day too. This is the first time we've all spent a day together for a long time, so it's something I'm looking forward to.
Over the last few days I've been busy decorating the hall, landing and stairs - what a task...I've painted it in Farrow and Ball - Parma Grey (which is actually more blue than grey).
Now it's finished I can add the finishing touches. Whilst in Liberty's last week I saw a great idea. They had fabric displayed in embroidery hoops hanging from the ceiling.
Keen to capture the idea, I added some of my Liberty fabric to 3 different sized hoops, sewed on some pretty buttons to 2 of them, and have hung them up on the wall. Hanging from the ceiling would annoy me after a while! So simple, and cheap to do too. Sorry about the photo's, the light is terrible at the moment.
When in London for Jack's birthday we popped into the V & A and I bought a poster which up to now has been rolled up. This now proudly hangs on the stairwell.
My ultimate finishing off piece is a patchwork curtain for the front door using 1930's repro fabric........I'll share that with you on my next post!
Have a fantastic day and see you anon.

Enjoy your Mum's cooking and have a great weekend. Love the idea of the embroidery hoops + fabric. And that paint colour looks lovely.
