Flea Market Finds.

What a find! I came across this vintage tiger and deer wallpaper at my local antiques emporium. The detail and colour is absolutley amazing. I near on have a whole roll to play with so I am after the perfect wall in which to paper it to! I am told that this wonderful wallpaper is by Sanderson but after lots of researching I can't seem to find any more information about it. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them...

Colour Transitions.

Have been liking these from some time now and finally found out who they are by!
Love the transition from the raw wood into vibrant man made colour.

Mummy Chair.

I have been doing a little research into alternative upholstery and remebered these from a few years back. The Mummy chair by Peter Traag is wrapped using 55 metres of elasticated polyester ribbon and is a great way to personalise and update tired furniture. My dedicated post for Mother's day! xx

Parts of the Process.

In a bid to minimise waste and make the most out of all the materials I have started to develop designs using redundant pieces of wood I had left over after laser cutting. They provide innumerable possibilities! Everything comes in useful at some point!

Happy Town.

I love these! They remind me of my Kokeshi collection I found and collected on my travels around Japan. You can see the whole family at The Curiosity Shop and take a peek at the designers site Petit Collage here. Happy Wednesday!x

Hang It Up.

Making use of old chair backs Antonello Fusè up-cycles them to create unique coat hangers - too nice to cover up!
