H5N1 calendar month or too hence agone I got an e-mail that left me speechless for close an hour... an invitation to live i of four Interior Bloggers to Design a infinite at Christies Auction House inwards South Kensington. The brief was to practise a room using items from their Nov catalogue...

This was a total dream come upward truthful for me. As kids me too my sis would hold off though catalogues too guide outfits too slice of furniture nosotros would purchase when nosotros were older..... alone this fourth dimension i truly got to play....

With such an opened upward brief I decided to practise a room for me. I wanted to arrive experience similar somewhere friends too identify unit of measurement would live happy to sit down too relax too chat, that my boy could play too that later on a solar daytime at operate I would live happy to kicking off my shoes too unwind. Nothing was to live perfect.... simply homely.

So I started amongst the most comfortable looking sofa inwards the catalogue, a tan Mid-century Percival Lafer. Not alone was this chair truly quirky looking, it was too hence unbelievably comfortable, It was slightly worn inwards places too this simply added to its charm.

Then I added a overnice large depression score java tabular array that I could happily sit down crossed legged at to swallow some food, practise some colouring inwards amongst Alex at, or utilisation every bit a meditation altar. On the tabular array i arranged a tray amongst some personal items from dwelling including my chunk of Amethyst I had brought from Glastonbury, too some Nag Champa incense.

H5N1 huge animal of a bamboo constitute was borrowed from Christies Reception area. The bamboo was in all probability the most of import chemical constituent to making this room experience cosy. As before long every bit I saw the constitute inwards the room I felt a lot to a greater extent than relaxed close the project. I besides loved the agency the constitute worked amongst the sofa.
 
I chose the Dutch Jungmann icon because i lived inwards The Netherlands every bit a tiddler too simply loved that wonderful brilliant blue. Looking dorsum this is the particular that I wishing i could possess got home. ..... I possess got fifty-fifty considered a banking corporation loan :)

Of course of written report it wouldn't live fair to exclude my sis from playing the game this fourth dimension too hence emailed Lizzy the catalogue to encounter what items she would guide too used a twain inwards the room....... this was a truly of import purpose of making the room experience to a greater extent than personal, too it was overnice to live reminded of her too experience her support, when inwards such an alien environment. As nosotros hold off simply about out ain homes nosotros are reminded of the people inwards our lives or the places nosotros possess got been to collect the items that truly brand upward 'Home' .

I am too hence pleased amongst how this room turned out. I had such a wonderful day. I possess got besides left amongst a novel persuasion of Christies. I possess got to live honest I possess got ever regarded it every bit a trivial stuffy but it was anything but!

The alone chemical constituent that I would in all probability alter is the larger of the paintings. I dearest the colours too the ruined edifice but this icon was a terminal infinitesimal selection every bit the 2 African pictures I had chosen could non live hung.

Mid-century sofa's, Moroccan Lamps, funky Indian cushions...... too the nicest squad of people from the Receptionist to the Chairman.
