Obsessed?? Moi?!!

This week I have mainly been obsessing over various different types of furniture and getting lost in a sea of amazing fabrics!
I have seen the looking glass and literally thrown myself head first down the rabbit hole.
I think I may stay down here for a while.  The air is sweet amongst the brightly coloured linens, and I literally cannot get enough stripes.

Not to be annoying, but how on earth do you choose what your one sofa should look like when you have around 17 favourite fabrics (I don't like to make any of them feel bad by having just 1....)??

So here I am sat in front of computer at 1.06am salivating over my swatches that arrived this morning from designers guild...'GO TO SLEEP' my head is saying....but alas my innate desire for textiles has taken over, and I'm now working on primal instincts only.  
I have decided it is physically impossible to decide on one fabric...it's actually a fact.
Pah good luck picking out of this lot!

What is wonderful about beginning your obsessive furniture journey (on which I can see myself being on for most of my life now....it's just another fabulous shopping outlet!) is that your many hours of commitment unfold the most fantastic websites you never even imagined existed in your wildest dreams!

retrotogo.com has now become by one stop shop of anything vintage or vintage inspired for the home. May give them a buzz and ask them to blog about us while i'm at it - they write about all things vintage!

Allthingsoriginal.com makes me want to step inside my computer and live amongst all the pretty things created by the super talented designers. I especially am loving these prints by Lola's room.  I have this image of a wispy little elfin lady surrounded by old cameras in a fantastic warehouse apartment in London's East end.... 
It's s great to see there's lots of other people like my good self making it on their own!  We should all be supporting each other!

Err...I LOVE dis guy....well done allthingsoriginal...will now have a post it friend!
Have lots of other great websites to recommend.  Will report back after eventually forcing myself to turn my computer OFF and go to sleep....easier than it sounds....now where is that power button?  Someone just come and take it off me....for the love of god, PLEASE!!


Moo! Not just for cows....
