Interior Design for THE HOUSE








It is time to really start thinking about interior design details for THE HOUSE. All of these pretty fabrics are from the Welsh company Elanbach. I have had a drool over their website tonight.




I love this fabric as it features some of my most favourite flowers. It comes in a wide variety of colours, including pretty blues, creams and stone. Elanbach don't appear to have stockists in this part of the world, sadly.
Tomorrow we meet with our kitchen designers. I have some pictures of how I would like my kitchen to look (from Country Living, of course). But I'm sure price will limit what I can have. I'd like a clean, simple look with painted wooden joinery, but I'm sure a laminate finish will probably be the affordable option. Cream. Then I can match anything with it. Plus I want the perfect handles. I'm fussy about handles. I must post a picture of my perfect kitchen cupboards and shelves, made by Daddy Black. Mr B said I'm not allowed to take them with me to my new house. I guess half of the kitchen here would be gone if I did. I'm sure Daddy Black will make me one or two pieces of furniture for my new house. He is great to work with because I just give him a plan of what I want and he makes it. It is too much to expect him to make me a whole bespoke kitchen though.
Oooh! I'm getting excited! XXX

I wish it was my basket, Sal. I thought Elanbach wouldn't mind sharing their pretty fabric basket with you.
Gigibird, I happened across Elanbach in a Country Living Magazine. I love the fabric, but it would probably be a complicated and expensive operation to get hold of it. I had a peek at the website. I love the fabric and want to make clothes out of it! I can picture some amazing cushions too. XXX
