A London Home



I love the uncluttered, mainly white with bursts of color interior of this beautiful mid-19th-century house in London. Skillfully decorated to complement the late Georgian architecture, this mix of modern and tradition ticks the boxes for me.

Oooo Deej,
A home in my neck of the woods. I love the way that they have mixed the traditional with the contemporary.... very clever.
In the post that I have up at the moment, I have a picture of a room with a Harland Miller poster, just like the one in your first image only mine has a rude word in it !! Tut, tut !!
Have a great week Deej. XXXX
