Come, have a nosey around my living room. Some people asked, I'm happy to oblige. Hope you like it!

Join me as I take you on a tour of our living room.
A few people commented and asked to see. I love the room and I hope you do too.
Most of the furniture is from Multiyork who, sadly, no longer exist. But the rug is from Designer's Guild and almost all the accessories are from TKMaxx. My favourite shop for picking up a bargain!
A few people have commented on the paint colour - it is a Valspar at B & Q, dupe of Farrow and Ball Oval Room Blue (I say Billiard room blue in the video..... eek). Sorry for any confusion.

A beautiful room Helen. I would not have painted a whole room in that colour but you have made it work beautifully. I think it would be such a calming room to sit in. You have also had some great buys from T K Max. I really love the side and coffee tables they are very functional but elegant and the same time. I would love to be able to pull colour together the way you have instead of playing safe!

Hi Marion, I looked everywhere for replacement sofas but the quality just didn't match. They are wearing really well considering they are 15 years old now. I bought the fabric myself online and then got an upholsterer to make fixed covers. Very happy with them. Good luck in your quest. xx

@@Helenmaryjo Lovely room. I have my late parents Multiyork 3-seater sofa and two armchairs which are now at least 28 years old and still going strong. Desperately in need of new covers as still with the two originals but otherwise still brilliant and the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in. Was gutted when Multiyork went down, even going as far as trying to find out what happened to the crafters in Thetford. A great loss and you are right, there is no retailer to replace them.
