This is my favourite room in The Natural History Museum. I find the colours, shapes and textures of the stones and minerals really inspiring. It's particularly gorgeous on a sunny day when the light streams through the windows, sending dancing shimmers and sparkles across the room. I also love the wooden display cases and how everything is categorised just so (appealing to my inner geek!)...a must see.

The Natural History Museum Pt1 - Decorative Details
I think this is one of the most beautiful buildings in London. The decorative details within the architecture of the building are exquisite. So much so that you could lose yourself admiring it and not even get round to viewing the actual exhibits. It took me 20 mins to actually get through the front door, much to the amusement of the security guards! Whilst the man was off viewing the dinosaurs, I was entranced by the stone detailing and mosaic floors. See what you think…
I loved the monkeys that were climbing the arches, although some were a little sinister...

Chandelier lust!
Whilst sitting down to tea and toast in Cafe Seventy Nine on Sunday, I became completely obsessed with their beautiful chandeliers! Made up of glass tea cups, cake moulds and shot glasses, it has completely inspired me to create something for a bare bulb we have in the house. Next time you are in and around Primrose Hill, be sure to pop in for a look.
