Inspirational Spaces
I spent the afternoon sitting on the couch watching Cash in the Attic on BBC and flipping through my recently acquired interior decorating books for inspiration for tomorrow's thrifting trip. As I was looking through Flea Market Style I started noticing that several of the photos (even the cover shot) were from the same gorgeously decorated loft. Whoever occupies this space has the most amazing collection of vintage furniture and knick-knacks, well, ever. I love the vintage scarfs hung from the ceiling to separate the work space from the rest of the loft, the perfectly broken in furniture partially reupholstered in vintage fabrics, the collection of vintage dresses hung on the walls like pieces of art, the um, chocolate brown velvet bed with racing seats (?!) all being shared with two adorable orange and white cats. I can't help but wonder who is the amazing woman who lives in the space and what does she do?

How I'd love to live in a place like this. The big leather chair is oh soo beautiful. Thanks for inspiring me aswell, dear.
Sometimes I think I've amassed a lot of antique and vintage housewares. Then I see a spread like that. Just breathtaking.
Ooo the scarves are an amazing idea, btw love your 1940s dress in the post below!
I love how her bedroom is one huge canopy... with racing seats!
I love days were I can just look through my collection of books that give me fashion/interior design inspiration. I can't wait to see what you find on your next shopping trip!

WOW, whoever she is, she has great style. Love her clothing as well as the whole loft. Pretty amazing.
The "open air" wardrobe is wonderful!
That place is so gorgeous, It reminds me of a house that my parent's friends live in- it's an old butter factory and itis all whitewashed with pulpy colourful bits everywhere, and there's a woolshed in the bak, and a field of buttercups in the front!
nice blog, by the way.
Hej Sally Jane,
already for some time I am checking your blog - it is a wonderful source of joy and inspiration for me - nearly every day! so: thanks!
Now, as I got the book you are talking about myself - and know who "she" is, I thought I let you know: its Emily Chalmer´own s (the Ed.) appartement, in London. And: she has this lovely store in East London: www.caravanstyle.com. I adore it!
With my best wishes

Wow that is so cool. Her place has so much style and personality! The leather chair is fantastic!
Thank you for all of your comment! I'm glad you all love it as much as I do.
Miss Strawberry: Thanks for solving that mystery for me! I would love to go into her store someday. I'm sure it is amazing!
Oh wow! Awesome inspirations!

a kiss,
see you!
Great photo spread, and it gave me some ideas for my new place. Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful, great pics!
Wow, this place is a dream!
That interior is fantastic! I'm also a Cash in the Attic lover... I get really worked up when something gets purchased for far under the estimated price. The people seem devastated!
