Secret spaces and places..

http://www.timeout.com/london/feature/928/londons-secret-galleries
Cheeky little article about lesser heard-of galleries and spaces in London..I will definately be visiting this one....
Time Out writes- Viktor Wynd is a "Curiosity shop on the art circuit and determinedly off any beaten track. Peek through the windows and you’ll see a world in which velvet-cloaked Victorians, or perhaps The Mighty Boosh, might reside. Entering the shop, which is also the spiritual home of the esoterically minded Last Tuesday Society, reveals a wunderkammer of shells, skulls, taxidermy specimens and assorted oddities. Art gets a designated space in the first-floor gallery but, unsurprisingly, shows tend towards the eerily surreal."

Festival wallpaper

I love this 1950's style wallpaper from Mini Moderns. I have a feeling there is going to be a surge in 50's style reproduction goods produced this year as it is the anniversary of the Festival of Britain. This is a lovely little company who print in the UK using waterbased inks and using paper from sustained forests.
Check out the rug too...
