Just Down a South London Road.
i’m feeling a bit under the weather with a nasty head cold, which has gotten me drinking loads of tea, which in turn got me thinking about england. so i checked in for a visit at one of my favorite photo shoot location sites, beach studios, in the U.K. to see what i knew would be some pretty spots to cheer me up.
i discovered this location, marmora road, and oh what a lovely spot it would be to curl up with warm bit of tea under a cozy comforter, light a fire and read a good book. i love the mix of all that crisp white, colorful fabrics, along with the traditional antiques and vintage-modern pieces. superb! have a look at a very pretty south london home with loads of inspiration, marmora road. i vow to you now, one day i will have those bloody wonderful white wood floors! you’ll see!

*gasp* The grey amoire with the pink trim is divine!
If there’s one thing I can’t resists, than it’s the European flair.
When can I move in?
Gorgeous! I love the combination of old and new, dark and light.
I hope you feel better soon Victoria!
thanks – it’s a beauty, no? you can move in right after i do! ;)
thank you grace – just a nasty head cold! argh!
I love all of the different prints. It’s like a wonderfully funky English garden in there!
This was an outstanding post! It’s like Tricia Guild plopped seamlessly into a Jane Austen movie. But then look at all those Ikea pieces! Genius!
Very, very pretty. My flat is the same period as this house. But I am a proud north Londoner. :) I could cry at how much more prettily finished that place is.
Beautiful images! Feel better soon.
Thank you, this was just what I needed. Sublime, clean and so pretty. Makes me want to do a major cleanse of my clutter…or just get a cup of tea…thanks!
How funny! Marmora Road is in East Dulwich (South East London) where I live. The houses there are big and gorgeous (although I suspect not all of them are as gorgeous as this inside.)
How do they get those floors so *shiny*? I know there must be some type of topcoat, but what would it be that makes it shine without yellowing? Would love to know!
thicket dweller, in the uk they are still able to use oil based paints which give a very shiny hard surface. here in the u.s. companies like schreuder or fine paints of europe sell the oil paint but in most places you are limited by law to buying 1 quart only at a time. you might be able to get a similar finish with marine varnish.
mile – thanks for that bit of info. i want white floors in the worst way!!
oh, how i love the simplicity of it all. i can totally see you living here.
katrina – me too. london has a big place in my heart. my grandmother is from there, so maybe it’s just in my blood. one never knows. ;)
Love this space!!! xx
so many great places. love the circle rugs.
Thank you for the information concerning the Alameda Flea.
Such a lovely home. I love London interiors!
