Shot Blue, Acid Yellow and Grey Palette

My husband took this fantastic photograph this week, capturing perfectly the thunderous sky over London and the Shard building in the background.  The colour palette of shot blue, acid yellow and greys reminds me of our bedroom.

G-Plan Egg Chair

A couple of years ago, I recovered a G-Plan egg chair, bought on Ebay, in Ikea fabric. Here is the result.

When G-Plan first brought out the Egg chair in 1962, the designer, Gomme, announced that it was the 'Worlds' Most Comfortable Chair'. It was undoubtably inspired by Arne Jacobsen's Egg Chair of 1958, as it's very similar in design but plainer. It is very comfortable!
