Heirlooms-Bloomsbury style

I am gearing up to work on more embroidery for decorative objects and I have been thinking about furniture and heirlooms. I have a goal that all the furniture that I leave behind for Madeline has been worked and re-thought by me. Here are images from Vanessa Bell and Clive Bells house Charleston in England. The Sofa was upholstered in contrasting fabrics by Vanessa Bell and the needlepoint seat on the ottoman was designed in a perfect pre-cubist fashion by Clive Bell. The Charleston trust web site is www.charleston.org.uk
