London Recap: Liberty

Today's Agenda:  This year I have taken on a role on our condo board's social committee -- a way to get more involved in our building and meet neighbors...instead of passing them when I would come home at 11 every night!  And, tonight we are having a cupcake tasting so I'm off today setting up for that and psyched to use my new Liberty of London for Target trays for the mini vanilla and chocolate cupcakes!  We are tasting cupcakes from Bakeshop, Red Velvet and Georgetown Cupcake...we'll see what the favorite is!

While we were in London, Liberty was top on my list of places to visit.  I just wanted to see what it was about.  And, I loved it!  If I were visiting today I would bypass the dishes/kitchen section {although I did enjoy the selection of Katy Potts china and can see getting a few of these pieces to mix and match with a basic china pattern} and head straight for the middle of the store to check out the furniture selection and displays.  Really pretty patterns on large comfy sofas.  Industrial desks with interesting chairs.  And, then, if you like fabrics, I would set aside about half an hour to just flip through the fabric books they have.  I jotted down several fabrics that I would love to use one day -- let's see if I can find them...

Designer's Guild/Tosca/Moss

 GP&J Baker/Icelandic Poppies/Velvet Gray

 Marimekko/Tuuli/Black & White

I also loved their bathstore and linens.

I wasn't allowed to take many photos in the store so here are my photo memories of Liberty...

Liberty, the Store

 And, me @ Liberty! 

Unique styling inside of the store (this was the only picture I could take!)

 Their new Merci! line

Until I go back, I will be trolling the Liberty website {it's pretty comprehensive!} for some unique decorating ideas!
