Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed.

Its the time o year when the sun seems toshine that bit brighter, the days become longerand an artifcial light can no longer hide thechipped paintwork, dirty windows or cobwebs.

Te phrase Spring Clean wasnt coined withoutgood reason. Scouring blog sites and magazines andpestering suppliers to fnd out whats new I have beengreeted with same response- not much. Tats a bit o arelie really, because there is already so much out there-its now just a case o putting it a all to good use.

Te Fireplace image is rom the New York ChatwalHotel- reproduced over the last 2 months in a numbero articles and magazines- so why not here. My

avourite things are here- some eclecticism in choiceo urniture, good use o colour, wood and metal andpainted urniture working together- oh and books.Round sidetables are defnitely the best look. Jan

Cavelle Furniture or something similar. Te CadillacChair is available rom Andrew Martin- this one hasbeen reupholstered in abric which I preer.

Boudoir Bedrooms are still popular. Simple whitebedding and a dramatic headboard make this roominteresting. Its easy enough to cover some ply coveredwith oam and attach securely to the wall- all you needis some suitable abric remnants and a good staple gun.Te all lamps and sun mirror add something a littlequirky.
