Danish Delights at Louise Roe

Well all I can say about these beautifully simple homewares and clothes is - go over to Louise Roe's website and indulge yourself. You have to take your hats off to the Danish.

Charming Prints by Helena Tyce

 OK I have now officially had enough of posters with quotes and various words on them. Enough already. These charming prints by Helena Tyce at Not On The High Street say more to me than a whole load of words.

So Hard To Believe These Are Cardboard

Yes, everything you see here is made from cardboard. Take a really close look they are amazing. Made by Cecile Chappuis of Carton Noir based in the beautiful town of l'Isle sur la Sorgue in Southern France. Objects are produced entirely by hand with the help of a cutting board, a razor blade knife and glue. I am also absolutely thrilled to see she uses the same French paints that I do on my Ghost Furniture pieces.

Feeling Blue at Ghost Furniture

Not only do I love visiting the brocantes of France to find new Ghost Furniture pieces but when I find a new colour I get just as excited. This new Teal Blue is my current favourite and I have thoroughly enjoyed bringing these pieces back to life using that colour highlighted with Regency Gold
