Edwardian House Living Room
I raided the Sourcerist archive this past weekend looking for before and afters of Edwardian House (aka House Number 1). The good news is I have found the ‘afters’, the bad news is the ‘befores’ are on the old laptop with the dead battery. I will resurrect them and add them to this post at a later date, but for now I will present Edwardian House living room in all its glory complete with where to find the goods.
Curtains – Ikea (the only shop that sells pre-made curtains long enough for a bay window, I hate a ‘high water’ look)
Bronze curtain poles and weird angle joints for a 5 sided bay window – Dunelm Mill
Sofa – Levenshulme Antique Village I actually left it there when I first saw it, two streets away and I turned the car around to buy it before someone else did.
