The Perfect Rug

My search for the perfect living room rug just ended, with a surprise discovery at Habitat, Regents Street, London.



This Celia Britwell hand tufted 100% wool rug was selling at a discounted price of GBP127.68 (usually GBP399). It's the last piece in store, and the sales assistant who attended to me was actually surprised this limited edition piece was still in stock.

This rug was featured in RetroToGo.com.

New Life for an Old Toast Rack

Long overdue post!






I was out over the weekend, exploring Angel and Islington for the first time. Camden Passage Market in Islington (http://www.camdenpassageislington.co.uk/) is a great place for a Sunday roam. I found this antique toast rack in a market stall at Pierrepont Arcade. I don't eat bread for breakfast, and don't really need a toast rack. But I was always looking for a nifty desktop organiser. This seemed to do the job quite well. It's a £2 buy. I hope you like it.
