I picked up this fabric from ikea quite a while back, around the time we picked out the paint colour for our new living room. Whilst our main wall is quite a mid-taragon colour (seen in the post below), I wanted to have different depths of green throughout the rest of the room.. and a few splashes of other colours elsewhere too. I picked up some edging for the cushions I’m going to make from the ikea fabric today, I usually just made basic square unedged cushions but thought I’d do something a little different this time. The curtains we have in our living room also feature a green.. I’m not sure I’m 100% in love with the curtains, they’re shop bought and not very exciting. I might end up replacing them in a few months, we’ll see.

ps. I just found this blog through twitter about some horrible plagiarism that I think everyone should be aware of, please go and read! http://www.book-by-its-cover.com/fineart/a-sad-story-must-read/

When I was small I used to have these plates on my bedroom wall, when I moved into a different bedroom they stayed in my old room and at some point got taken down. I randomly remembered them the other day and thought they’d be great for somewhere in the new house. Luckily, my Mum hadn’t thrown them out, they were stored in one of her cupboards. I’ve brought them to the new house, ready to be put on the wall in one of the rooms. They’re made by Poole pottery and the designs are by Barbara Furstenhofer, I don’t have the complete set (there’s a snow white one, too, with about a half dozen scary looking men) but I’ve been looking at the others on ebay (there’s a few on there for quite cheap).
