My Beautiful Laundrette


It's my 40th birthday soon, and I'm completely underwhelmed by the whole concept. But presents are always good. On the weekend we went and checked out the Balmain Art & Craft show and Andrew bought me some laundry.
There was an exhibition of this artist's work in a gallery close to us, and I kept driving past and seeing this particular painting. I kept meaning to find time to drop in, but naturally missed it. So when I walked into the Balmain show and saw the very same painting, I decided it was meant to be MINE.
Andrew says it's very me. It's sort of drab and domestic is probably what he means. Anyway, I love it, and it now sits above our Parker sideboard and looks fabulous. I might take a photo of it in situ ...
