I thought I would start my tour with my lounge, its so hard to take photos of it, I have struggled a little so that I could try and give you an overview, but it was difficult, I hope that you like the snippets that I show, otherwise you will all just have to come and visit and see it for real LOL!
Let me start with yet another cushion, remember me?!! I stitched this pretty EEF design a little while ago, and mum suggested finishing it as a cushion, and this is the finished result.
Would you like a view of the little vignette I did in the corner - yes? Ok here it comes
Transfer was a freebie on the web, fabric from IKEA.
The mantle view - Stocks from Marks & Spencer, candles from Melt, light from Ikea
The opposite side of the room, print is by Sue Fenlon - a wonderful artist who lives in Northumbria, I have another above the other sofa
A close up of the Love Pillow that Mum made for me, we saw these when browsing one day in a posh shop and they were £80 each, so mum said she would make me one.

I hope you enjoyed the look around my lounge, its very very different to what it was before as I had a gold suite and deep cushions and different mirror and artwork on the walls now I'm very happy with it as it feels like my space. Of course there are things I would still love to change - I would love to remove the carpet and have wood flooring put down, I would also love to change the fireplace and fire, but I can't do that, so this is my finish, I can't wait now for Christmas and to change the way it looks again LOL!

Su, it's beautiful and so different to when I saw it three years ago. I love the light airiness of it and the wonderful subtle elegance of your furnishings. The pillows are so pretty and the use of mirrors in your photography is really clever:>)

I have every intention of seeing this lovely, lovely room in person one day, Su! Ah, it does look fabulous. And peaceful! I love that little Ikea lamp. Had one myself, but Pantoef liked it as well and smashed it to smithereens the first chance he got :o(
You have a beautiful cosy lounge Su - I can just picture you sat there being all creative! The love pillow your Mum made for you is gorgeous too! :o)
It's good to have your own and your mother's work all around you!
I've just caught up with your posts - glad you're doing well. You have a beautiful garden and an absolutely charming living room!

Enjoy your week!

Well done, Su!! Your spaces are so reflective of who you truly are, and they are serene, feminine and beautiful. Also, they are welcoming and cozy. Who wouldn't love stitching, reading and having tea with a friend at your home. Wonderful job decorating! Hugs :]
