Colour makes people happy

I visited the most magical place this week. To buy paint of all things, which you might think is not normally the most exciting of tasks! but there's this wonderful little place in Dulwich that sells wonderful paints from holland. The test colours are all shown on painted clogs- so you can see the colour in dark and shadow and from every possible angle! So smart. The whole place was amazing and made my heart sing a bit! The smell of hot chocolate warming in a little enamel saucepan for one. The cutest kitchen I've possibly ever laid my eyes. Small collections displayed on the perfect enamel shelves, battered and chipped painted floorboards and so much inspiration. I really wanted to move in! Reminded me a little of the wonderful apartments I got to visit in Sweden last year.









Please excuse the instagram shots but I really wanted to share. Hopefully there'll be more exciting things to tell you about this little place soon - I have hatched a little plan! I'll show you what I'm painting next week too.(promises promises!) If you want to visit - which I of course recommend then all you need to know is here
