Harlequin fabrics can accentuate the overall looks of a house. It works for me. Our home has never looked this good after we decided to use harlequin fabrics. In this post, I voted for cassini. I'm a minimalist but I don't want to compromise the appearance of our house. So yes, it's like the best of both worlds.

I still print photos, but with the advent of digital (camera, then phone), I can be more selective. Rather than getting a whole roll printed then feeling guilty about throwing the discards away, I only print those I like. I do make up albums for my mother - computers were never her thing, and since she now has dementia, an album with notations beside the photos helps keep her grounded. As for the electronic versions, I consolidate them regularly, then transfer to dvds and put them in a fire-proof safe. I don't want all of them up for the world to see, but I want them accessible.

Each element is fab, love the steel kitchen units, the open brickwork walls and the stars. However collectively the eye dances around all over the place. The steel against the open brickwork is great. The flooring bothers me as it is shouting for attention against strong core elements. Less is more and decluttering would be an advantage.

The orange painting stood out clearly. I saw it even before the green wall that took a much larger space and thinking of the colour wheel orange comes before green .Not surprising !!!!
