Most of the (well all of the) properties on Haven In Paris, a luxury holiday rental website, are out of my price range. But that doesn’t stop me from drooling over the apartments all the same. I really love the two bedrooms below. I would sleep soundly in either one. Both rooms are part of a lovely 3 bedroom apartment in the heart of the art and antique district in Paris. Ooh la la
Well I bought some Schumacher fabric a couple of weeks ago and I am still deciding what I want to do with it. Currently I am trying it out on the bedhead. No real effort went in to this other than draping the fabric over the bedhead.
I am still waiting to find the right piece of art to hang over the bed so I guess I am looking for a little makeover fix in the meantime.
Hmmm, still not sure – It kind of feels a little grown up for me.
And here is the bed before my latest massive makeover. It took me hours to drape that fabric just right you know.
Today I am going to pretend I am a successful designer and I will be taking the winter off to recuperate before my next collection. This is where I will be staying if you need to contact me. But only if it’s an emergency or you want to pop in for a cup of tea and homemade scones with lashings of jam and fresh cream.
Or maybe here? Where we can sip the finest red wine, eating italian cuisine and listening to the water lapping on the shore.
Does everyone love before and after shots as much as I do? Well I guess you would need to know how much I love before and after shots. A lot. Especially when the transformation didn’t involve major construction work.
Here are a couple of makeovers from Canadian House & Home -
And here is the second Before and After
I love this bedroom (spotted via the Brick House). I love the bedspread, the orange cushions, the mirrors, the purple orchids, the bottle in the window, the window and the bedside lamps. I guess you get that I like this room.
I love checking in every now and then on the Living Etc’s See My Home forum. Always great inspiration.

Sorry for not blogging yesterday and leaving it so late today. Life sometimes gets in the way of blogging. Anyway here is a cute little cherub in a cosy bed. Awww.

A big big thank you to Lisa from Nengah Gal. Lisa sent me a lovely blog award a couple of weeks ago and to my horror I only realised this morning I had forgotten to blog about it!!! I need to come up with a system for remembering blog posts other than relying on my memory! I flag something with the intention of coming back to it and somehow forget about it. If anyone has a good system for remembering things please let me know.
Lisa runs her blog Nengah Gal, as well as being a writer, author and stylist so I feel honoured to receive an award from someone with so much experience!
Today I have fallen in love with Schumacher Fabrics all over again and found a new blog. Whilst innocently browsing the web I came across this most wonderful blog, Little Green Notebook run by the very talented interior designer Jenny Komenda. You have to check out her daugther’s bedroom makeover. She recovered the headboards in super cool Schumacher’s Chiang Mai Dragon, painted the side table, turned an old mirror into a funky hot pink framed chalkboard, created art for the walls, repainted an old lamp, revamped white bed linen, revamped a mirror, constructed pelmet boxes for the three windows and the list goes on …… Amazing and all doable!!!
and if that ain’t enough Jenny has just completed her office makeover.
After I stopped drooling over all the colours I searched the web for some Schumacher fabric and just purchased a metre and half of Hot House Flowers! Yippee.
