The rush is on in the US for Orla Kiely’s low price designer range for Target! Unfortunately for all the Orla devotees out there outside the US the only place you will be able to get your hands on it is good old Evilbay. I suppose we can’t really complain in the UK because we do have her beautiful shop in Covent Garden to wander around and her range in Heals. We bought my sister the multi stem bedlinen for Christmas and it really is beautiful and the packaging is amazing! Loving the above graphics for Target. Via Print & Pattern
Kitchen
I’m not sure why but I have a real thing for rich greens at the moment!?? I’ve never been a great lover, infact I was more of a great hater! I remember when David and I first got together that his hallway was painted the exact same green as in the kitchen pic above and I loathed it with a vengance, it wasn’t long before I painted over the whole lot with white….it took about 5 coats of good paint to cover it!! Anyway I keep eyeing up the wall where the hob is in our kitchen thinking it would look great with the new white handle-less look of the units when they are done. Will I…won’t I??….you will just have to wait and see but knowing me I will wait until David is away for the night and just do it!!!

We are going to update our kitchen, the above pics are the kitchen as it is now and when we knocked it through about five years ago. It’s the only “during” pic I can find. Taking the wall down was something I wanted to do from the very first day we viewed the flat and what a difference it made! The area to the left has gone from the most unused and dead part of the flat to the most used especially during one of our parties. We desperately need more storage space and because we can’t buy the matching doors we have decided to go for a gloss white handle-less design by adding another larder unit on the opposite wall and changing the doors, drawers and side panels. The stainless steel work tops are staying and although they are a complete pain to keep clean I absolutely love them. I’m obsessing about it all now as usual and just want to see it all done…
