Hi, What a lovely room! I really like the way the table is anchored by the wall hanging. May I ask what size your tv is ? We're trying to work out what would be a not too intrusive size for our 18x12 sitting room.
Thanks,
M.

Hi Nicola Jane
Your flat looks great and the building itself looks amazing with that balcony. Your floorboards are a great colour - did you do them yourself? Well done - looks like your hard work has come togther brilliantly!

Regards
B

hi thanks for your nice comments. tv is 20 inch. feels huge compared to the 14inch portable we had for years. Most of the floor boards are original oak, but some had been replaced with pine. we stained them american walnut and then varnished on top of that.
thanks

Hi

I love the room, especially the way your canvas painting replicates the pattern of the ironwork on your balcony.

How did you do the stencil work on the chair? Is it your own work? I love it.

Hi
The chair was made for the random art exhibition in london, each letter has been attached indivdually and then varnished on top. here is the link
random art
if you are interested i can pass on her email address.
the lamp was from marks and spencer, but a few years ago when they had their lifestyle stores, sorry.

Hi NicolaJane, your room is really lovely - you can't beat white, roll on the white issue of livingetc! Where is your sideboard from which the TV sits on, we are looking for one like it? I love the chair with the black pattern stencilled on. You'll have to show some more photos of your place..

Hi Nicola Jane - been away for a while but just wanted to say how lovely your flat is. Absolutely love the windows and balcony and what you have done. I particularly like the print/canvas, and would really like to know where you got it from. Many thanks!

Nicola Jane congratulations on your win.... enjoy spending the vouchers! TW apartment was shot by a pro, and was for a magazine spread so was a little unfair if I won but thankyou anyway! Your house is gorgeous!
