draw! pilgrim: house tour

remember i took you on a tour of my office area a few weeks back? today i’ll be showing you some fresh pics of my lounge/dining area shot by the very talented fi mims. hopefully i include all the vital info you want to know, but if i miss anything or you have questions – comment it up and i’ll get back to you!

working from left to right in the photo above: thrifted orange chair reupholstered in a thick terra-cotta corduroy. mystery vintage art print, torsby buffet from ikea, “the fool” print by me, eclipse chair from oz design furniture, “maidens of the midnight sun” print by sanna annukka. assorted pillows from now closed etsy sellers.

sofa from freedom furniture covered in “coco raspberry” by warwick fabric, assorted cushions from etsy, & freedom. “the big apple” fabric wall hanging by luther travis, red bookshelf from ikea, vintage hello mushroom lamp. oh and everyone asks – on top of the bookshelf is a silver “thing”: its a space projector by mathmos, the GROOVIEST lamp in the world.

vintage dining table & chairs found at chapel st bazaar, the ubiquitous expedit shelves from ikea, vintage fabric lamp by retro print revival, “Miss You” print by its pop its art/airside

“love” and “radio” radios vintage, from ebay, final enamel tea kettle inherited, plastic toadstool napkin holder from etsy, shinzi katoh bento box, plastic tulip lamp in the pink coffee pot (inherited) was a gift so i don’t know where to find one, red olivetti valentine typewriter from ebay.

so there you go! any questions? i love this room very much. its where we spend the majority of our time and its comfortable, inviting and functional. a space like this doesn’t develop over night, it took quite a few years to work out what fitted where but now it feel juuuuuust right.

i recently had some new house shots done by the fab fi mims, and i’m going to show them to you room by room. i’ve been emailed a few times about where i got various things from, so this should be a fun way of sharing some secret sources and talking you through my space!

in the case of my desk area its also a bit of a time capsule! its not going to look like this for very much longer now that my desk is movin’ on out and up to my studio: lil desky’s leaving home! and do i need to tell you how excited i am about working AWAY FROM HOME. like a grown up!

the actual desk is from ikea, and that frosted glass panel is very useful! the chair is from ikea too, but i made a fancy cover for it using a pattern by yvestown.
