Laundry

Perhaps I am thinking of laundries today because I am doing lots of washing and I have a laundry cupboard not a laundry room but this is what I am obsessing over today. The room needs a little personality, maybe some baskets, and a nice picture but I would love it all the same.

What started it all

My love of interiors or when it got to the stage that I started making files and organising myself began with Carolyn Quartermaine. A long time ago I had started clipping rooms that inspired me and when I had a few I realised that a large percentage of them were taken in the same room but decorated differently and they were all from Carolyn Quartermain. When in the May/June edition of Vogue featured Carolyn Quartermaine I was thrilled to re-explore her talents again and they are still so inspiring and I can't take my eyes off them.


I apologise that these photos were cut and so long ago that I can't give credit to which magazine they came from.

That Chair Has Buttons

I am a first time blogger so bear with me but hopefully it won't take me to long to get in the swing of things.

Firstly I thought I should explain my strange name. I bought a Grant Featherston Office Chair at an Auction House for $20, an absolute bargain. And I have been trying to find the right fabric to cover it with. Yesterday when I discovered that there are hundreds and thousands of like minded design loving people blogging I found a beautiful picture of a very similiar chair and fell in love with the fabric and the entire picture. This is the site http://decor8.blogspot.com/2008/05/grace-home-furnishings-la.html. Anyway I am now going to have my chair covered to look like this so stay tuned for the before and after photos. Anyway I went to bed last night so excited by all the great blogsites I had found and still thinking about my chair and when my husband came up apparently I started telling him 'That Chair Has Buttons' and pointing to my chair in the corner. So when he told me this morning I thought that my site would have to be called that.
