Today I am loving the new range of floor rugs by talented fabric-come-home wares designer Amy Butler. Most of her best loved designs have been captured in 100% New Zealand wool and hand made. These two are my favourites. For a full view of the range visit here.

This majestic home is a photo shoot rent space! I know...WHY!! People should be filling these wonderful plaster walls with warmth and promise. Oh well! you can rent it for the day, week or however long for your next catalogue shoot or feature film. I would be happy with a peek in side and that sofa thanks ;) The whole home is filled with period features and gorgeous windows that fill it with loads of natural light.
It is situated in London somewhere, and has a mix of French and English pieces, or you can bring your own. I could imagine a million photo shoots in this house.
I wonder if the owners would miss some of the pieces after I left? I love the tall skirting boards, old mantels lime washed floor boards...and that big frame.
The kitchen is sweet. I could imagine a Winter shoot here. Loads of creamy cable knit and food props like baguettes, knobs of butter in little china dishes, big white ironstone casseroles ready for the oven, and a couple of children near the heater with their brown paper covered crayons drawing on butchers paper and Mum hanging them on a twine line with wooden dolly pegs. Little white washed pots filled with Lavender lined up along the window and loads of fresh produce sticking out of the wicker baskets....
...or a small stack of fluffy white towels on this divine chair, some waffle weave slippers and a glass of Champagne and some bubbles beside it that have spilled over. Little glass crystal glasses that are being make shift hurricane lamps and a big chunk of L'Occitane soap resting on some white pebbles.
Can't you just see that in here?
This unexpected sink I am not sure if it is in the bathroom, kitchen or laundry. I would like to think it is in the laundry with a little line of natural coloured knitted socks hanging from it and some shelves near by with big glass canisters on them filled with washing powder, chunks of soap, wooden pegs and the like...and big zinc scoops inside.
Believe it or not this stunning loft apartment is in New York!! I know, you could be forgiven for thinking it was in the middle of Paris overlooking the Eiffel Tower. It belongs to Liz Dougherty Pierce and all of her pieces are hand me downs, vintage finds, from op shops and markets. She owns no new pieces, and what a result. I love the 'Suspendu' lamp that hangs over the Dining table. When Liz has guests, she just pulls over the muslin curtains to create a room divider without loosing the romantic charm of the loft.
Oh, to have pressed tin ceilings. Her small but beautiful Living area is fitted out with beautiful chairs, covered in White Duck (like you put on a canvas, which I think could be passed off as linen) as the space is too small for a sofa. Liz has added a Chaise instead. The statue is 'Diana, goddess of the hunt", found in Brooklyn. The Chandelier is from the 1920's.
This photo is stunning. Love the Chair (of course), the divine screen (hides the loft elevator doors) which shows a view of Toledo, Spain...and the puddle of beautiful curtains on the floor.
