It looks great there!
I think you should also get her to do some cooking for you, Cerise :)). While she's there.

People who have 100% grey houses, follow Mrs Hinch and have Live Laugh Love decals love it. It's paint. Literally just paint.

Has anyone bought anything from Loaf? I’m eyeing up a new chair which I want in a greeny blue velvet. Are they worth the moolah?

I've bought a few scatter cushions from Loaf, which are really good quality, but nothing bigger than that!

Those are nice flowers, baa.

Weeks ago I ordered a small Damien Hirst heart and rainbow (laminated giclee prints on aluminium composite panels). All profits were to go to charity, and in the end £3m was raised, split between @nhscharitiestogether and @thefelixproject.

They finally arrived last week. I decided they were a bit lairy for the sitting room, so the heart is outside the bathroom, with the rainbow outside the shower room. You can also see them here if you scroll through from the (much more expensive and much too big) large ones to the smaller ones:

I love your vases, Baa. And your prints too, Rosa, especially the heart one ❤️

I am trying and failing to buy a coffee table. It should not be this hard to find one I like!

I may have acquired one of the vases from Cuba Revolution :lol:

Those are lovely Rosa, the heart in particular.

I think I like the heart best too, although before they arrived I thought the rainbow would be my favourite. They've already started appearing on resale sites at around four times what I paid, but mine are going nowhere.

What a shame about the resale sites! I think you’re right to keep them.

They are great, Rosa. I like them both.

In a tipsy drugged up state (prescription) I finally ordered the Muji bed I have wanted for years. (I didn't order the drawers, I can't have anything under my bed at all) .They put it's parts in the sale (it's never a great sale though).
