I wanted to share this cute home decoration story with you from Gayle of Carry Me Home.

Sisters Kate and Gayle have lived in their sunny Clapham flat together for almost five months, and although it’s not the first time they’ve shared a space it is the first time they felt they could make somewhere their own.

Kate being in the fashion industry and Gayle running her own business ‘Carry Me Home’ [in Carnaby Street's vibrant Kingly Court], both had strong views on styles they favoured for their home. Gayle had a background in performance so tended to lean towards glamorous old Hollywood objects and interiors, whereas Kate’s strong design aesthetic veered towards letters, numbers and asymmetrical spaces. They eventually met in middle by marrying all their charity shops, car boots and odd shops finds in the most harmonious of ways.

They showed off their living space to us – I love that rather than scattering their finds around their home like some collectors do – the sisters have allocated an entire shelving unit to displaying their finds, creating a striking visual arrangement. What’s your favourite find?

I simply love this airy makeover I came across by a couple living in Edinburgh. who’s project began with a beaten up 30’s tenement flat. Lucky enough to have been left with the majority of original features, they set to work stripping and re-vitalising the flat. Although clearly a lot of time and work went into the re-furb, It’s fun seeing makeovers that enhance the look of the original property as though it were just given a lick of paint to be brought up to date! This is especially apparent in the bathroom [my favorite room] where the gaudy pink walls have been washed over in pale hues and bare floor replaced by a simple and striking linoleum.

Also, multiple points for the secret wallpapered door leading into a wardrobe!
