Room of the Day & Fabulous Fabrics

Published by Lorna under Latest Fabric Collections, Room of the Day

Back to the Zepherine fabrics again by Designers Guild. My favourite is the Palmieri especially in the slate colourway below. It features delicately drawn floral motifs with classical stonework urns in black and white on vibrant solid colour grounds. And yes, it is available to order from Garrendenny Lane

Unfortunately I didn’t make it up to Tankardstown for the DG launch but I am going to Maison D’Objet on Monday. Have a good weekend all.

Room of the Day & Wonderful Wallpaper on Wednesday!

Published by Lorna under New Looks, Posts to Blog, Room of the Day, Wallpapers

Designers Guild’s new collection is now available to view on their website and I am looking forward to viewing it in the flesh tomorrow night for their first ever Irish launch in Co. Meath.

This panel print design is Wow – big, bold, colourful – rich garden blooms in a classic stone urn. Not for the average room but wow:

And here’s the other Zephirine wallpapers by Designers Guild

Product of the Day: Joseph Joseph puts zing back into your evenings

Published by Lorna under Product of the Day, Shop Products

The Perfect Margeurita

As the dark nights may be slowly creeping in, Joseph Joseph have come up with the perfect solution to add a bit of zing to your evenings. Great ingredients, a foolproof method and quality equipment are essential in perfecting your cocktail. Ensure your Margarita is the perfect combination between sweet and sour by combining an age old recipe and Joseph Joseph’s award winning kitchenware. Recipe:

45ml of your favourite Tequila
15ml Orange Liqueur
1 Lime
Rock Salt
Ice Cubes

1. Take your Rock Salt and place it into The Orb and crush until thoroughly grounded.
Joseph Joseph hint: Use The Orb’s lid to grind your salt for a neat, hand-held
mortar, perfect for grinding smaller amounts!

2. Fill a saucer with a little Tequila and place your cocktail glass upside down in to the
saucer so the rim is coated in alcohol.

3. Then place your glass in to the salt so an even amount covers the rim.

4. Use your Quicksnap Ice Cube tray to fill your glass with ice cubes.
Joseph Joseph hint: Use The Quicksnap switch mechanism to make releasing ice
cubes stress free in aiding your perfect cocktail.

5. Use The Catcher to juice your lemon and add to the glass.

Joseph Joseph hint: Don’t worry about any pesky pips, theyve got those covered
with their ingenious design to extract only juice.

6. Finally, take your 2-in-1 Measuring Jug and measure out your Tequila and Orange
    Liqueur separately and add to your glass.
Joseph Joseph hint: Use the small chamber of the dual chamber design of the
    2-in-1 Measuring Jug, allowing for accurate measurement which is key for all cocktail
    making.

One final step…

Those at Joseph Joseph urge you to stir your cocktail, serve it immediately, relax and enjoy!

Room of the Day – A cosy reading area in the Hallway

Published by Lorna under Room of the Day

I love creating spaces in homes which look cosy, inviting and relaxing especially if they are a cosy corner or nook for reading a book. This space between two walls has been made inviting and servicable by creating a narrow bookcase and a little ‘window-type seat’ in the hallway.
