I love the way the soft blues and beige's in the painting are picked up in the woodwork and upholstery. This particular painting is a little modern for my taste, but I think it is wonderfully complemented by the faded patina of the table and the simple chairs, lavishly upholstered. My own preference would be for a seascape, or landscape or even a still-life. For the kitchen or bedrooms, something quirky or amusing. I really love vintage signs used in Interiors too, like those below. Of course there are very clever people who can even make a display out of an empty frame.

Some more numbers on a bespoke bathroom cabinet, (my friend has a thing for them). In  the downstairs cloakroom I framed a mirror with an antique letter by Josiah Fairfax (totally fictitious of course), and added a couple of postmarks. I love it when I have free reign to do something that is fun and original. In the Master bedroom, which is very pared down and elegant, Yolanda wanted a quote of some kind to break up the white and add some charact...
