Loving this Little Tree Furniture painted & distressed-finished oak topped desk that is made from reclaimed wood and has a wonderful vintage shabby chic feel. It works well in this setting with the Farrah & Ball grey wall colours & faded colours of the rest of the furnishings. I found the chair in an antique market and felt that it complimented the desk style & colour perfectly.
This shabby chic table is the teenage room desk.
I chose the raspberry pink bottles as they added a pop of colour & toned with the bed cushions & floor rug colours.
The patterned notebook & candle also added colour vibrancy.
I sourced the vintage chair in an Antiques market. The taupe spot seat pad toned with the room’s neatral colours.
The 1950’s pink tiles replaced with limestone tiles
A limestone mosaic tile wall creates a curve behind the freestanding Bathstore bath.
Twin Bathstore basins placed onto a custom-made white gloss vanity unit under inexpensive wall cabinets bought on the internet.
All shower and bathroom fittings from Bathstore & taps by Crosswater.
The animal print chair is a flea market find.
The styling of the room started with my find of the 50’s formica dresser.
I styled it together with the green IKEA sofa,?bright coloured bean bag & vintage chair which I re-covered with 50’s style fabric.
A nest of vintage coffee tables in front of the fireplace adds to the retro feel.
Framed 1930’s original sheet music & straw hats & seaside bunting bring extra colour.
The Union Jack throw and seaside themed cushions turn an uninteresting green sofa into a stylish corner of the room
The Farrah & Ball paint colour palette of muted greys, was the deciding factor of how I staged/styled this Fulham house's double drawing room. The look is lived-in, homely, characterful & classy-not modern, minimal or impersonal. The end of the drawing room nearest to us is perfect as a study area, as i did not want it simply to ba an extended passageway to the kitchen/dining-room, To create the gentleman's sudy/library feel I added a 'bookshelves' screen behind the client's vintage leather chair with a statement oversized Anglepoise-style light. The tartan throw & cushion add colour & texture. The thick pile rug is neutral & conveys cosiness in front of the fireplace.The shabby chic desk is by Littletree furniture & fits beautifully into the colour scheme & style of the room. The painted chair is a vintage find, whilst the black desk lamp pulls the black accessories in the rest of the room together. The pair of grey painted chandeliers are understated, & blend with the colours & styling of the room.
The dining area of the kitchen required a long narrow table approx 3x10ft to fill the space. I found a fantastic shabby chic table from LITTLETREE furniture teamed with with pale grey calico covered chairs to help transform the space from daytime family to glamorous dinner party. The length of wall needed artwork to pull together the whole kitchen & dining area. 3 inexpensive abstract artworks have been used as a tryptich on the wall. These pick up the lime green colour of the kitchen stools & placemats. Fake fruit & veg add extra colour & interest to the table styling.
