Good Monday,
we spent the weekend in Hackney (London), were we stayed at friends who just bought a house there.
Really, it makes me (badly) want to move back to London, not only for the London buzz but for the fact that most of our friends live there.
Anyway, they live in a beautiful Victorian Terrace house, with their cat. They are doing lots of DIY to get rid of strata of ugly previous decorations and the result so far is beautiful.
The weather was great and so we walk all day on Sunday, Columbia road is not so far and we spent the morning, browsing the market and shops and eating delicious Italian food in a gastronomia (deli) called "Campania" (highly recommended).
Today I'll paint the living room white, finally :)
Have a nice day.

The place looks beautiful! I love the chair in the first photo.
Your words made me miss London so much. I wish to be able to take my daughter there some day...

Happy painting.

ps: there is not white as great as the one you adviced (to?) me ... thx!

LOndon is nice, but it's good to live in a smaller place too. But I wouldn't mind living in London for a while, I must say. To make a change from the Arctic. Sometimes it's just too far north.
It looks fantastic! Oh I wish I lived in London again too! Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos Alessandra :) Kx
Nothing like a trip to London and a friends reno to get the paint brush out!!! The thought of living in London again is a sweet one. Happy painting Alessandra.x
Thank you again♥
Me too, I could picture living there, what a dream it would be ... so much to do, so much art!
last picture, just kill me...
I've been to London only once and I thought it smells a bit.
;-)
it's lovely too empty...?
Hello there, thanks for getting in touch, always very much appreciated!
Si, London is noisy, smelly, busy and expensive but I love it :)
pierre, :D oui it's rather empty, they just moved in. when decorating will be done it will be full of great stuff, and i will (if they allow me) feature it in my blog.
Pipilotti Rist & Sigur ROs! It's in London? C'est aussi çà la chance d'habiter à la ville ...
Mathilda, YEP! I'll miss Sigur Ros but not Pippilotti :)
it would be so satisfying to renovate your own place - especially when it has such lovely bones like this one.
supernice room you have; what a light!
how i miss east London.. lovely pics Al.
oh, lucky friends of yours! and lucky you for visiting them...
We also want to live in Hackney and visit friends there often, it has such a great atmosphere. X
