About Me

My photo
Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, United Kingdom
With many years experience working as a Senior PA / Office Manager with excellent Human Resources and Administration experience I developed this blog to show what I can bring for businesses in the North East of England. In my leisure time homes are my passion and so I've captured things that I've done in my home and garden.

From Geordie Land to Hollywood

It's not all black and white


Whilst one young man leaves the nest of his family home his younger sister swaps bedrooms.  Changing the black walls to crisp white and removing the Newcastle United football team wallpaper for Hollywood glamour, this bedroom was transformed in 2 days.  

With beautiful glitzy glamorous locally made curtains, framing the window, to a matching throw the stage is now set for our customer to add her personal touches to her new boudoir.

Newcastle United is removed....
....as was the dark black wallpaper adorning other walls

with a blank canvass to work from

Hollywood glamour soon became the new feature wall


...a little hint of Marilyn...

...to Audrey...

...to famous scenes

...cowboy and general cinematic memorabilia...

...to the Director's chair...

floor length sparkle curtains and throw

the room is ready for the teenage touches...

we love how the sparkles on this fabric show up many colours...

...so, its not all black and white...Rainbow's are still present!

And look at the beautiful Rainbow flowers received for the work we did....
