top 10 pictures from the week ~ 15.7.10

My first day of not working on a Wednesday yesterday...and did I read books, flop around drinking tea...flick through the mountain of magazines still waiting to be devoured? Nope. Of course not. I cleaned the chandeliers with the chandelier fairy (they look awesome), went looking at fabrics for cushion covers yet to be made...and scored six dining chairs at Vinnies (which of course need to be painted and reupholstered...nothing is ever straightforward around here)...but boy am I a happy little part-time worker! And the other thing I did, of course, was put this lot together. Enjoy!

See how there's some cunning colour grouping going on in the collaging..
...that's because I like you
because I care...

The grey's an aberration for me...but I just couldn't go past that chandelier...and having done a bit of chandelier cleaning yesterday...well, it was the proverbial no-brainer really...and it is a beautiful room...

and this, I feel, is country kitchen personified...how long do you reckon it would have taken to line all those jugs up properly?
...and I think if there was any profession I'd like to have (if I didn't have the one I've got of course) it would be a food stylist/photographer...this is the work of deb kaloper (via the design files for the full interview and more stunning pics)
...and, in memory of Marija...who I didn't know well but who was kind enough to hit the follow button here...and who's blog I always loved to visit...blessings to your family who must be feeling so lost...

  2. Nice post Kerry, love that humongous chandelier and your very clever colour grouping. Also nicely finished off with a tribute to Marija, the saddest news to blogworld no doubt and her family.

  5. Nice - again. Love that grey room but the jugs make me think dusting - although it's rare for me to ever really think about dusting...
    How terribly sad for Marija's friends and family. Such a beautiful woman with a beautiful life... A x

  7. Lovely pictures Kerry. I knew that you wouldn't laze around on your day off but now you have Saturday to do all the lazing around you wish since you accomplished so much yesterday. My first thought when I saw the country kitchen and all those jugs was similar to Ann's comment about the dusting! Who wants to clean all that stuff? Can't wait to see your chandelier! xx Mary

  22. You can't just go and leave without telling me what a chandelier fairy is!!! How many years have I needed one of those. Has someone been keeping this secret from me on purpose?? Is it some sort of twisted joke. Kerry -TELL ME NOW and I'll bring you over some extra crystal drops next time I'm home ;-)
