Have you ever thought about buying a beautiful piece of land and having an Architect design you a home with all the exact details and wishes you would like. Being married to a renowned Architect in Michigan. He always says “ Renovation is a compromise “. Sometimes it’s easier and cost effective to build from the ground up and get exactly what you want. It’s all in the details. You’re so young, which makes it easier. Could be your forever home too. Just a thought. Glad you finally painted the living-room in the right colour.

Wow, the living room paint is darker than I thought it would be. It looks very nice. You can easily sew a removeable cover for your ottoman. Measure the length and width plus enough room for hems and adjustments. Lay the fabric over the ottoman. Pull corners out right triangles and pin close to the ottoman leaving enough ease so you can comfortably cover and remove. Sew the seams. Put the ottoman on a table and decide your hem length. Using a stick ruler measure from the table to the hem and pin hem in place all around. Sew the hem. It works like a dream. I’ve covered two small rolling ottomans with a stiff heavy fabric that my cat can’t make holes in! Your dress for the ballerina box ball was lovely. I did like the gloves, but it looked more fabulous without them. Perhaps short black netted gloves? I loved the ballerina box event!! What fun! The two ballerinas with light and darker skin is a fabulous idea!! What little girl wouldn’t love to get that.

Hi Lydia, we have the same tiles in our bathroom and we are having them in our en-suite too. We have had them in the family bathroom for 2 years now and we went with the vanilla coloured grout, it’s the same as they used in Neptune (our tiles were bought there but they are ca pietra ones). Our tiles look the same as when we laid them. We grouted over the tile and the wiped the grout off so the terracotta looks more rustic and paler. Xx
