Abigail & the bulldog


Ok so my second blog.....as yet no one is following this but it has been a while since my first post. Therefore I am using it like a diary of things I like!

For the past year I have been captivated by Abigail Ahern, her style, her amazing eye for detail & colour and lovely manor (I read her blog every day http://abigailahern.wordpress.com/ only wish I could be as dedicated bolging as she is and also have as many fans -perhaps in another life).

I love her oversize and tongue in cheek objects, the glamorous and sumptuous dark shades of paint which work so brilliantly with the splashes of neon colour.



So on my Birthday list (which I have just told my partner about, to which he rolled his eyes big time), top of the list is the bulldog table lamp. Don’t ask me where I am going to put it but I will find a cute little spot where it will be very happy and well out of reach of my little boy who will no doubt feel he’ll need to pat it and kiss it and possibly even ride on it every time he pass by!



I also want this fire place but we need to buy a new house first....

There would be so many other things from Atelier Ahern’s on the list but perhaps that is being a bit greedy.......however I were to be very self indulgent, I would have endless faux hydrangea blooms & if our flat was big enough one of the painting bookcases- love love love them! I am considering booking in for one of her design master classes as some point towards the end of the summer/autumn which she is now doing in London, NYC & Australia and I am sure they are incredible.





I would also love a home Study area like this. By painting old pieces of furniture in bright colours is such a cool idea to give a new lease of life to old things. We have done similar things in our pad but I long to buy a huge old dining table and do something like this!

I promise to pin again soon.....if anyone is reading this, but in the meantime I promise myself.
