We popped along to Interiors 2011 at the NEC, in Birmingham by train, which was novel (read scary) as we go everywhere by car usually. We had a few changes on the way there (to get the cheapest price!) and got to the show around 10:30am and started to have a little wander around.
We said hello to Dexter at Febland and thanked him for his help over the past few weeks, and looked around the stalls. There wasn't really anything new or exciting to speak of which disappointed us slightly, with the exception of the Designers Block section, which was full of brilliant new things for us to see, my favourite was Daniel Heath's Amazing Jumbo Circus Style Wallpaper, and I would love to stock it in the shop, perhaps should actually speak to him about that!
We also liked everything else in that section as it was, just, more interesting than the rest of the show (sorry everyone)
We then popped along to the Hospitality Show which was on at the same time, which was quite nice as they seemed to have much more free cake (cake always wins with us!)
We were around 3 hours early for our train home and decided not to wait as our feet were killing so we asked for an earlier train, £28.80 extra each to get back, funny that £10.00 of that was an "admin" charge, shame on you train companies, we wont be catching the train again as you ripped us off royally, it costing nearly £150 to get from Huddersfield to Birmingham! It usually costs around £30 in petrol, sums dont really add up eh!
Enough of my moaning about the state of the railways, have a look at Daniel Heath's wallpaper and tell me what you think?
