Merry Christmas from Laura Felicity Design

I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge Thank You to everyone who has supported #LFD during 2014.

Looking back it's been a very exciting year behind the scenes at Laura Felicity Design.  Now all the hard work has paid off and in 2015 I am able to show you exactly what I've been working towards.

...Starting with a bang from January onwards expect to see a sparkling new website, new wallpaper designs and new complimenting product ranges to hit the online shop, and exciting news about the Pop Up Shop I've been apart of since September 2014.

Here's to a wonderful and prosperous 2015!
Merry Christmas everyone! 

Pretty Flower goes monotone!

This year has been a great year for the Laura Felicity Design Wallpaper Service.  Not only have there been some great commissions taken on, but they have been very exciting to work with!

This commission I have recently completed is an example of one of them.

I worked with the client and the Pretty Flower design with a couple of changes to the pattern; we took away the butterflies from the original print, and went for a charcoal grey pearlised colour to create a sexy boudoir feel to the room.

A lovely finishing touch to compliment the wallpaper is printing matching lampshades for the side tables either side of the bed.

I love seeing my patterns in different colours, it really does change the feel of them!

What do do you think of this commission?
(More images of the complete room will be up here soon.  I can't wait to show you!)

Dotty Bird has flown the nest...

At the beginning of 2014 I received a wonderful email from a lovely lady, living over in the US letting me know how much she loved the Dotty Bird designed wallpaper.

Being a fan of birds and birdcages as a wallpaper pattern, she found this design was unlike any other relating to what she had been looking for.

A few weeks after receiving this email (and mailing back to say Thank You), she contacted again to say she wanted to place an order for the wallpaper to create a feature wall.

We worked together and designed the wallpaper to go into her 'powder room' next to her bedroom to create a feature for the space.
It was a room I have not done yet, and was delighted to work on.

My client went for the warming colourway of rose pink and charleston grey for the one wall, painting the rest of the small space in a complimenting paint.

Before the Summer I received a couple of images to show me what the room was starting to look like, and in particular the wallpaper.

The client is still putting the finishing touches to the powder room, but from what I have seen already I think the feature wall looks absolutely fitting for the space.
Here are a couple of images of the wallpaper in situe.  What do you think?

How beautiful!  I just wish I could go over to see it and meet my client in person, as she was a joy to work with.
...perhaps one day!

Best Wishes,

Welcome to No. 89, Barnet's local Pop Up Shop!

This past month has been very exciting and full on with helping set up the local, Community based Pop Up Shop Laura Felicity Design is apart of, and I'm excited to say we are officially open!

On Monday 8th September, Number 89 opened it's doors for the first time to Barnet's local High Street, and what a fabulous response we have already had from the Community already!

It's been a very exciting time to be apart of a project that is just the beginning stage to start putting Love back into Barnet's local High Street.

Number 89 is a community run Pop Up Shop showcasing local Artisans drawing on the rich, varied heritage of the area.

Number 89 features a range of high quality giftware and lifestyle items. As well as my luxury wallpaper, homeware and gift collections, also available for purchase is a collection of vintage furniture, hand-made jewellery, soft furnishings, haberdashery and decorating materials, children’s clothing, kiln formed glass and decorative ceramics. 

There will also be Argan Oil beauty products and collectable vinyl records. Shoppers will be able to enjoy a specially created playlist while they browse.

A little information behind Number 89;

Number 89 has been established by Love Barnet in conjunction with the freeholders of the premises, local charity Eleanor Palmer Trust who provide accommodation for the elderly either (in residential homes, almshouses or sheltered housing). Love Barnet is the brainchild of long-term resident Gail Laser who is joined by Sam Wrightson who moved to Barnet last year but with strong family links to the area. The Barnet Society brought these two committed women together.  

On behalf of Love Barnet, Gail Laser tried for three years to secure an empty shop that the local community could open as a temporary boutique to feature work by local Artists and Artisans. She failed until The Eleanor Palmer Trust generously agreed that she could use their empty shop at 89 Barnet High Street (formerly a branch of Greggs Bakers) for just this purpose. The proviso was that the shop would also promote the Eleanor Palmer Trust and help to introduce the work that it does into the wider community; a pretty small ask she thinks! 

Without the Eleanor Palmer Trust and Love Barnet, this opportunity for Laura Felicity Design would have never happened.  It really is a priviledge to be selling in the High Street that I have grown up around, and I am very thankful to both.

This wonderful Pop Up Shop is open for 6 months, and is open Monday-Saturday 9:30am - 5:30pm.

Please do come visit and support us at 89, High Street, Barnet, Herts, EN5 5UR.

Bespoke Wedding Anniversary Commission...

Last month before I took my Annual Leave, I was approached by a lovely lady who at the end of August was to celebrate her 1 year Wedding Anniversary with her husband, and she was on the hunt for a unique gift.
...and she came to the perfect place!

We worked together on the brief she gave, which was to create an art print to reflect a special moment they both took part in on their wedding day.  The symbolic moment between them was after their vows where they poured black and white sand into a heart shaped vessel, a process which I have not heard of before, but love the idea of.

The art print was to be a surreal and ethereal take on this moment and screen printed in the colour the sand made when mixed onto card, to represent the first year wedding present idea of paper.

This was such a wonderful project to work on, as it took me out of the usual style of drawing I am used to, which tends to be fairly illustrative.

I had a wonderful afternoon using inks and marker pens to produce swirling imagery for three possible outcomes, to be selected for the final print.
The one chosen, was my first and favourite design.  I think it reflects the moment on their wedding day perfectly.

The print was traced as a stencil and hand cut to be prepared for screen printing.
And here's the finished article!  What do you think?

I'm pleased to say this bespoke Art Print went down really well and is now hanging up in the happy couple's front room!  I'm so happy I could create something that will be memorable and cherished for each Anniversary they have together!
Here's to a Happily Ever After!
