Tea & Crumpets
/|Sketch Hotel The Gallery; London|
I’ve had many dreams of this perfect pink tea room, first seeing the images on Tumbler, and needing to know where this heaven on earth was. Today I got to experience a high tea that the hotel recommends you leave 2 hours to complete. Decor is like fashion to me, in that it encourages the participant to feel the essence of the environment, just like clothes can make you feel a certain way, or make people feel a certain way about you. From the plush soft pink velvet chairs, to the champagne carts with gold leaf accents, The Gallery fell nothing short of a set in Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend. If everyone were wearing silk dresses and elbow length gloves, matched with their favorite diamonds, it would have literally been like stepping into vintage movie heaven. I have so many facets to my personal style, and I feel the same about how I relate to interiors. This room could not be more girly, but in that theres this nostalgic happy feeling of being a big kid.
