Strawberry Hill House

I was really excited to visit Strawberry Hill House.  I had heard that it was full of rich, decorative features such as wallpapers and ceilings.  It did not disappoint!  It was a great chance to gain some first hand research, (something I have found difficult to gain through looking at story books).  Although the whole interior and exterior design is the best example of Georgian Gothic architecture, this was not something that I aimed to gain research on.  I am not producing a Gothic style collection, however I thought that I could gain inspiration from the initial design work and re create my own slightly softer prints suitable for children's wear.

Here are some photos I took of Strawberry Hill House:

Gorgeous ceiling design...

Like the colour combination here, duck egg blue, gold and white.  Reminds me of colours for my 'Snow Queen' dress.
