As Loyd Grossman would say, " Who lives in a house like this?"
Thirteen years ago we did. Before I was fired from the fashion magazine and before I got my first decorating commission. A two bedroom apartment in an Art Deco building in North London. The rooms were painted a wonderful taupe called 'Osprey'. The central hallway was painted a much darker shade. Sisal covered the floor throughout and white linen hung at the windows. Nothing was planed, it just happened.

Lovely.
Your calling was whispering in your ear. The paintings are lovely as well.
as soon as i save the sufficient amount of coins, i'm hiring you ...
Fashion magazine, Art Deco building in North London . . . sounds rather intriguing!
You've got my curiosity going! I can visualize your apartment and it sounds lovely!
What luck to have been fired! And now we have HOBAC. I should send your erstwhile employer a thank you. Thanks for the glimpse of a life well-lived.
LC - thank you.
Mrs B - oddly enough it is the only one we have never framed or displayed. Glad you like it though.
This is why we're all such fans of yours- your keen sense of style (and that sharp tongue of yours too!). The painting is heavenly.
How beautiful! What a life - one worth living.
