As you know red is a favourite colour of mine and when I saw this picture browsing the net I couldn't resist sharing it with you -
It's such an attractive image and there are lots of things I like - the toile wallpaper, the oval framed pictures and the striped carpet and of course the red and white quilts as curtains - what luxury! However, some things are a little fussy for me - I don't think I would choose the dressing table or the swan bed and that lamp - terrible dust collectors in a bedroom. I prefer a more simple Scandinavian or New England way with furniture, but what a sumptuous look?
Returning briefly to my last post, the cottage in Stow on the Wold, here is the link where you can have a virtual tour - http://www.english-country-cottages.co.uk/sites/english-country-cottages/pages/PropertyDetails_C.aspx?QS=2B831DC8-E0A4-4868-B1DF-DDB2FE4FD44A~C~NZR~~216~GBP~~~~A~~~~0~~0~~~~~&gclid=CM_56_ji8asCFZFc4QodACPZwg
I shall be travelling to Mid Wales this weekend to attend the British Quilt Study Group annual gathering and also hope to visit Darowen. I have wanted to do this ever since I did some research on the Richard sisters who made the coverlet which is now at St. Fagans (see earlier post). I will tell you all about both soon!
