I have LOVED hosting my ‘Clarissa Hulse at home competition’. It has been bringing me so much joy and I am so grateful to everyone who took the time to send me pictures of my products in their house.
It has been a tough call, but I have decided that the winner is… Beks Burn for capturing the beautiful Serendipity Greenhouse mural in her daughters bedroom. It is pure joy! I l adore the idea of using the mural in children’s room as well, as I think it is fun but not childish so it is something she can grow up with.
My first runner up is this fabulous chair that has been upholstered by the charity Recover. They do amazing work offering the chance to learn skills in furniture up-cycling to those on the journey to recovery, which can be a life chancing experience. Claire who sent me the photo generously also offered to donate her prize to the charity, so I have organised for lots of fabric to be sent to them.
And second runner up is Victoria Kerrison, who has sent me lots of fabulous pics of her Serendipity mural, bed linen and headboard in this amazing room filled with colour, pattern and dogs! Look at that brick arch!
Here are some more of the entries for you to see. I am so sorry I couldn’t include them all. I was sent quite a few that were very low resolution and you couldn’t see the products very well – but they still brought us lots of pleasure so thank you!
