The China Room...

Finally I have some photos to share with you of The China Room! For those who have waited patiently here they are...

Above: A view from foyer towards fireplace. The blue and white was inspired by Wedgwood Jasperware. The background of the fireplace will be painted blue eventually to highlight the classical motifs embossed on it.

Below: View south towards front of house. The curtains should be finished next week. They are being made from a backed silk, slightly darker than the wall colour.

Below: Some of the Wedgwood collection... 

I like this cheeky little putto on one of the vases...

Myself with Evelyn, who is actually a very old friend (we went to school together and have kept in touch as our careers took us in different directions).

Thus endeth a wonderful night. A big thank you to all the crew from Kerr & Ladrbook, and Dan from Mills Reef, who worked to hard to produce a flawless evening for everyone.
