I heard that the Colefax and Fowler Mayfair office which was the home to Nancy Lancaster was going to shut down during summer so I made a point of going to see it before I went away on holiday.
These are the pics I took in June.

This two pics are the room just before you enter the famous yellow room on the 1st floor.
As this is an actual showroom for the antique division of the design firm, this famous Yellow Room tends to always look so different. ( Please click on link for other pictures by another visitor.)
This corner is on the ground floor and what doesn't come across very well is the trim and the execution of the fabric covered walls.
This is the latest window by Charlotte Olympia.
So I thought today I had to go to see the famous yellow room one more time.
They had this sign out and the lady inside says that it will close around October so if you are in London please do go and have a look around as one isn't sure what it will become after the showroom closes.
I took some more random photos for your viewing.
This room is on the ground floor and I am not sure what its original purpose used to be.
My friend and I got to go into the garden which is usually closed off but as it has been so hot the last few days they had opened the doors.
This space is not special on its own merit but more wondrous when taking into account the location.
Some lovely garden furniture and accessories also available for sale.
This staircase is the rear entrance from the garden to the famous yellow room.
Once again the yellow room looking different but yet always the same.
There is a sale being held in the showroom so it is holding a lot of product.

But still beautiful.
I took a friend for a tour after lunch with me and as expected she loved it.
His pictures on the wall were beautiful and I now forget who they were taken by.
His art was surprisingly bourgeois and wouldn't have looked out of place at a wealthy white collar worker's home.
Sorry for the slack editing but if I try and make it look professional which this blog isn't then I wouldn't publish it and there are times when I just want to share some posts I think some of you may like without me yapping as I have nothing to add except for - ain't it lovely!
Have a lovely weekend x
