With its opulent regency decor, and stunning 18th century hand-painted Chinese wallpaper, The King’s Room was one of my favourites during my recent tour of Belvoir Castle. The wallpaper in this suite of rooms, plus a deep dive into the Castle’s archives, was the inspiration behind one de Gournay’s most recent projects, de Gournay x Belvoir, which now adorns one of the Castle’s State Bedrooms. @belvoircastle @degournay #belvoir #belvoircastle #leicestershire #grantham #castle #countryhome #countryhouse #englishcountryhouse #englishcountryhousestyle #sibylcolefaxandjohnfowler #colefaxandfowler #degournay #chinoiserie #handpaintedwallpaper #chinesewallpaper #18thcentury #interior #interiors #decor #decoration #interiordecor #interiordecorating #interiordecoration #interiordecorator #regency #regencyera #daybed #antique #antiquefurniture #flowers (at Belvoir Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CosPL1aoEEM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

HE WAS CARRYING three paper bags from the grocery on his way back to his apartment when he noticed a girl trying to carry boxes. he didn't want to be rude and stare, so he minded his own business. it was somehow amusing to him that they are walking the same way, he supposed that their units are near each other. he gave her one last glance before he fished his keys from his pocket, however he ended up looking at her a little longer when the box she was holding went through her arms. he looked away and sighed because he felt bad for seeing what he shouldn’t. so he cleared his throat and turned his whole body to her direction. “you need help with that?”
