...don't try this at home....




.........................................................................................................................so tomorrow I am shooting for a Martha Stewart publication........the rather adorable Art Director, Mathew Axe, gave me as reference Lucinda Scala Quinn's wonderful new book 'Mad Hungry Feeding Men and Boys' mad-hungry-lsq.blogspot.com/.....'keep it really loose' he says 'don't iron any linens, in fact wash them all so they are really messed up looking!'.........this I dutifully did but then I thought 'where the hell am I going to dry all this stuff??'.....hence here I sit with every chair, table and door draped with fabric in shades of stone, white and cream.......it all looks rather gorgeous actually........but it was a total bugger to pull the fabrics apart, in fact, I had to cut them apart...so DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!
