Such a wonderful trip!<br /><br />The green on the walls is a Porter's Paints. I bought it at five minutes to five last Friday night. I asked for something that looked like "the Palais Royal in spring". They happily obliged. Such professionals. It's called the 'Slap Dash Method of Decorating'!<br /><br />Will post more photos soon, but very afraid of boring everything.

Your dogs sound beautiful. How unusual that you could only find them in Sydney? Perhaps they're bred better up there?

I wanted a gorgeous leaf-print one at Charlotte Coote's store (daughter of the famous John Coote), but it was $3500 (!) We just can't afford that kind of money - not for an armchair. And I loved the 'colonial' look of this one.<br /><br />Thank you for your lovely compliment, but really, I'm an amateur decorator. It's the 'Cluttered School of Decorating', as you can see! My mother was appalled. (She started re-arranging everything.)<br /><br />It's so thoughtful of you to take the time to write, and so very appreciated. And yes, it's Linda E in that Italian Vogue. Unusual cover, isn't it? Lots of people panned it, but I quite like it.<br /><br />So sorry for not replying to your lovely comment, but I did go looking for the latest Vogue after your last remark. Not inspiring, is it? Perhaps things will change under new editor?<br /><br />xJanelle McCullochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006727386237836016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383907926280689006.post-46098049047193626772012-07-19T07:11:19.257-07:002012-07-19T07:11:19.257-07:00So lovely to hear from you Jane.

The room looks so fresh, like a super stylish oasis. It all works together so perfectly. I'm guessing the country-lover is now feeling better about the move to the city! Also, it would be interesting to see a before picture to compare. Will also be interested to see what you've done with your book collection and how the spine colours work with your basic scheme. I guess that's to come?
