Firstly, thank you so much for your suggestions on
paint colours for the walls of the stairway. Very helpful indeed! I'll be heading to my local hardware store over the weekend and hopefully I can find that one perfect colour. I also really like the suggestion of creating a mini gallery in the stairway. I have some art I've yet to hang and there's plenty of wall space so I may as well make use of it.
I have been looking for more art to collect today and came across an Etsy store called
Peggy Wolf Design. Peggy's work also appears on
Lovely Clusters.

She studied fashion design but found that she was more interested in drawing women and clothes. Her prints of handmade collages are beautiful and feminine. I think my favourite is Lemon Lady (top left).

Her store has a sale on at the moment - buy one print and get a second print free. I'm so tempted!
