Interior Project 02 Hall Stairs Landing Existing
The next interior design project is the hall, stairs and landing. I'm still working on the colour concept for the space but I'm starting by stripping the paint off the bannisters. I'm hoping to find some nice coloured wood there under the thick treacle like lacquer and lots of layers of paint.
The work starts with nitromors... poo-e

Interiors Project 01 Shower Room - Demolition
Our shower room is nearly finished so I thought I'd put some photos of
here of the demolition and general mess that we've endured for the last
couple of months. We've just got a bit of tiling to do and then we can
get the electrician back to finish off the lighting, etc
Everything removed ready to start putting new things back

New ideas... new look and new necklace. I've been inspired by doing some research into a custom order. So here is a little look into what will hopefully be my new range:
I'm pretty happy with this... hope you like it too

Lucy's Wedding Jewellery - Ready to Ship!
One of my loves (sad obsessions) is gift wrapping presents- especially for my bridal jewellery.
I love to show exactly how special and unique my jewellery is by wrapping it accordingly. As the theme for Lucy's wedding is burnt orange I decided to make the wrapping to match.
