78 Derngate

Hi !!!
Last week I visited 78 Derngate, designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. I had been meaning to visit for I while but hadn't had the time. Having gone round the house I now understand his style and I really like it.

 

I found out that the stripes on the walls are actually made of fabric 

 

 

I found out that in the bathroom the "tiled walls" are waterproof wallpaper

 

 

I really like this geometric print and the colours and shapes used

 

 

The wallpaper is fabric with the shapes printed/stencilled onto them

 

 

The front room

 

 

The light in the front room, the squares above it on the light fitting are designed to reflect the light

 

 

I love the combination of different patterns and colours in the photo

 

 

The kitchen

 

 

I love this flower pot with the squares on it, it is one of my favourite parts of the house

 

 

They took over the houses next to 78 Derngate so that they didn't have to use any rooms in the house for a gift shop etc.

Around Bradgate Park

Hi !!!
It was a beautiful day out, so I decided to go out for a walk to make the most of the lovely weather. I hadn't been to Charnwood Forest before, so I thought it would be a good place to visit and I went for a very nice walk there, near Bradgate Park.

 

I think these are deer, but I could be wrong

Sunny Abington Park

Hi !!!
In the last week I have been on several walks around Abington Park, whether it was because the weather so gorgeous I had to go out, or simply to get out of the house and go for a walk. Not many of the photos I took turned out well (because either there was too much or too little sun light), but these are a few from one of my walks that did ...
