Masterpieces in the Pink Room

For a few months now,  Mummy was in a mood for change.She refurbished the kitchen and now we have a black kitchen. The bedroom was a shade of green but she wasn’t totally happy with it, so she changed the walls to a sage green. And the once grey hallway is now teal!

When George joined our family, Sara painted one of George too.We are honoured to have met Sally Muir at Anthropologie’s  charity events – where she did 15 min sketches. We think this is the first time she had done a cockapoo! Since then we’ve had two more from Sally.

And we rather like this new addition to our collection -a line drawing by Camilla – our own “Abbey Road.”
