Where?

I've (almost) finished decorating my room! A few posts back I was explaining my colour choices - I've gone for a pale yellow, well 'Orchid White' - and on Pinterest I've been constantly pinning my interior inspiration. What to put up on the wall above my bed has been the most recent quandary, but I'm pretty stuck on a map. I love maps. My great aunt Joan used to go on a lot of walking holidays so we have inherited her collection of maps. The front covers, let alone the maps themselves, are beautiful. After a good old rummage I have found the one for me. It's has basically fallen apart from much use, but it's of my home county, Surrey, and it will soon have pride of place on my wall.

V&A

On Wednesday, Lauren and I visited Kensington Palace which has just reopen following two years of renovations. There were a number of exhibitions to wander around and we got snapping away. I was struck again by the powerful love between Victoria and Albert, and I loved the illustrated wallpaper leading to the temporary exhibition of Diana's dresses.

I dream of one day having a cottage where I can paper the walls in incredibly kitsch, over-the-top wallpaper like this.
