DON'T YOU JUST LOVE A SPLASH OF COLOUR?

My new Saarinen Tulip table and Panton 'S' Chairs arrived this morning.
Can you tell l love a splash of colour in more than just my crochet?

Just need to re-do the shelf to complete the look but loving it a lot....an early Birthday present from Phil
thanks Sweetheart love it xx

And it goes beautifully with the crochet too
might need to make a couple of cushions for the seats, not that they need cushions, as they are very comfy and bounce slightly too.
The table is bigger (120cm diameter) than the old one and could easily sit 5 
( a pink one would be nice don't ya think lol?) 
the whole set takes up less space because it is round, kept saying it would look more spacious than the small square one, Phil wasn't convinced but like the designs so I got an early birthday present...
Thanks for a lovely pressie, 
I LOVE THEM x

Tulip table was Designed by Eero Saarinen  for Knoll in 1956, believe it or not?
Verner Panton's 'S' chair was designed in 1960 both iconic designs.

I'm always surprised at the longevity of some furniture designs
Fabulously colourful fashion catalogue arrived from gudrunsjoden.com this morning too,
So much colour...I'm in colour heaven lol


Still not attached the stars to the blanket, having a bit of a dilemma in my head over the book!
Enjoy your week x
