Living with Panache



“Oh so you bought some wallpaper to frame,” mybrother-in-law said to me as I told him about my fabulous new ‘wall art’.

This printed fabric wallpaper art was designed by thelegendary (and some say notorious) wallpaper designer Florence Broadhurst.

The poor woman was found murdered, with her head stuffeddown a toilet. But her extraordinary prints live on.

The Lotus restaurant in Potts Point has this very design wallpapered in its swish bar. Even Australian frock designer Leona Edmiston has Broadurst wallpaper featured in some of her boutiques. Next stop Marrickville.

I picked up my little gem through an online store on ebay– Living with Panache

I may not have my walls covered in her magnificent designsbut my little piece of Florence sits well with my Danish and Murano glass– indeed it’s living with panache!

That's what you get when you let the cat out of the bag.

Actually that sentence was sabotaged halfway thru by a bad pun.

What I meant to say was that's what you get when you own a cat.
