Gorgeous garlands

Much better than built-ins
I have fallen in love with the home of French stylist Sandrine Place, which was featured in a Design Sponge sneak peek recently… especially these rooms above. J’adore the splashes of colour everywhere, too. I’m now just a touch obsessed with the idea of painting random bits of furniture in Elsa Schiaparelli’s favourite shade, shocking pink, or yellow (as per Porter’s Lemony Goodness). Even a bold, Yves Klein Blue.
Yves Klein Blue = bliss
But I’m waiting until the xmas break to get stuck into the paint tins… for now I’ve settled for a garland instead, as per Sophie Cuvelier’s creations, but with felt. I bought the felt shapes and balls already dyed and cut from Chrissie Jeffrey’s No Chintz the other day, and threaded them onto a long piece of string you can see here below. V happy.
