*Update* Proper photos hot off the Eoin press!

Our new studio in Kilkenny is opening on Friday - so we are up against the clock to get it finished! Here’s a little bit of the studio - the seating area…

Chairs: I bought the vintage coffee bean bags from Donkee House on etsy.com. These are a very soft, worn grain, so quite comfortable and not itchy in the slightest…the chairs were two old, horribly dirty things that were being thrown out - introduce one hot glue gun and a staple gun, along with eight hours, abit of Mary Chapin Carpenter and Sigur Ros to invoke patience and hey presto - my new favourite things!

Couches: The couches were cheap, hugely comfortable but covered in an incredibly un-lovely leather. Ripped off the leather, covered the base in €10 painting dust sheets from Pat Mc Donnell paints (again, thank you staple and glue guns), covered the cushions in leftover grain sacks, topped with sheepskin from Ikea and throws from TK Maxx bargain section - which were only €15.00 each! Love the mix of floral and geometric too. Entirely accidental, found each throw in two separate TK’s…

Coffee Table: I had intended to buy industrial castors to make a base for a palette coffee table. While in TK Maxx I found a be-castored table in the sale section for 50 quid! Trundled it home and begged towo silvered palettes from the lovely Jerry and Killian in Historic Interiors, Lusk. (More on their store in later posts, got SO much stuff there, fantastic place.) Eoin drilled them in place and hey presto - random coffee table alert! Sheepskin rug on floor from Ikea, 60’s style straw rugs beside chairs from Nicholas Mosse. 

Hope you like it all so far! Lots more photos and details soon!
