Inspiration: Allegra Hicks

I am continuing to work on patterns this week.
This Interview with Allegra Hicks + Suzanne Dimma from the IDS show is inspirational.
Thanks Kim.:-)

Done.

Finally finished painting the wall in my entrance way. This is Beautione Light House Red and this sucker took 4 coats.
Painting note: Red is is the toughest colour to paint with. Difficult to get good coverage. Not for the faint of heart!

Hallways on my mind

I am painting my hallway this week and thinking about possible arrangements. Coincidentally Emma had a great post today on styling console tables which included some great ideas + pics. I think the asymmetrical arrangement in this photo makes for a very cozy + welcoming entry way.

My hallway below is not quite there yet!

I'm painting the wall "Lighthouse red".

Wanted: Victorian settee

Spotted this little Victorian couch at Shop girls on Queen today.
Would love to find one like it for my entranceway.
If you have one hiding in your basement let me know.
