The reason that all has been quiet on the Shibusa front is because I have been building a snazzy new, online shop/website with pretty stuff in it...

Interiors 2011 and where did January go?
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?

Welcome 2011 and all it has to offer
Hello everyone, and welcome to 2011 from Shibusa Interiors.
Over the past year we went through so many changes that sometimes we didn't know where we were, and sometimes we didn't want to!
Well, we now have a lovely boutique style showroom that someone likened to Vivienne Westwood which pleased us immensely as we think she is awesome. Maybe you should all come and have a look?
It has been quite a year for change with new faces appearing in the business as well as the old favourites (well, me - Jen)
We are looking forward to the shows this year and finding new and exciting suppliers to work with, and new ideas to thrash around for projects.
We have worked very closely with property developers now and it seems we have got it right with the ones we are working with, and we hope to continue to do this.
Yesterday at the bank we were asked if we did the right thing regarding the showroom - the answer from us was yes, and the figures on the banks computer seemed to agree - which made us smile!
So, onwards and upwards, we hope to update our blog often but seem to get so busy we run out of time, don't think we forget about you all though, we send our love and best wishes to all of our followers new and old, and hope to see you all real soon

Shabby and Chic?
So, I have been thinking alot this week about "shabby chic" as it is called these days, I'm not sure about it really, I would welcome opinions on it...
Is it "Girly and Flowery"?
Is it "Vintage Style"?
Is "Shabby Chic" also "Country Home"?
Is "Shabby Chic" also"French Country Style"?
Is it "French Blue"?
Is there a definitive answer or is "Shabby Chic" whatever you want it to be?

Furniture Show 2010
Today we popped along the M62 to Manchester and to the Manchester Furniture Show, a trade only show which showcases the newest and most fabulous of all things furniture on the current market.A few of the people I saw and liked were;
Wilde Java who had a selection of awesome Buddha's and other cool items at very reasonable prices.
Another I liked the look of were David Stuart Designs who had the most gorgeous Diamante Studded Bed and other diamante studded items which appeal to my glitter and sparkle fetish!
I also liked Fusion Designs who had the most lush chair in their setup as well as some fantastic stylish and completely different furniture such as this cabinet.
And, as always FEBland had the best setup, with their stylish furniture in snazzy colours and too many mirrors, how do people walk past somewhere with that many mirrors without looking? Hard to choose a favourite but I actually fell in love with this when I visited their showroom recently for some chairs for O2.
I couldn't possibly list all of the fantastic stuff we saw today, you will just have to contact me and tell me which room we are going to start with (believe me, with prices like these you will be able to afford to do more rooms than you thought!)

Mad Monday
Hello there, did you think I had forgotten about you? Sorry about that! A few health problems now sorted out and we are on our way again (hopefully)
I have thought and thought about this blog, and read other peoples blogs and came up with nothing, nothing at all. So, another little change to the style, tell me if you like it or not eh?
I am going to start a new feature for Mondays called "Mad Mondays" this will showcase all the crazy bonkers things I come across in my day to day life doing peoples interiors.
Today's is this crazy cow couch;
Rodolfo Rocchetti from Tappezzeria Rocchetti is a master upholsterer from Rome, and he has made some really creative pieces of furniture, he also made a lion couch, and a bear couch too! (All fake fur for the animal lovers among you, no smiley cows were harmed in making this couch!)
For something a little less crazy send me your couch/sofa wishes here

Toile de Jouy Wallpaper
I spoke to someone about Toile wallpaper at a Christening recently.
Toile de Jouy entered the English language around the 16th Century from the French for "linen or cloth" or "canvas"
As you can see the pattern consists of a predominantly white (or off white) background in which a complex pattern is repeated. This pattern is usually made up of one single colour, usually black, red or blue, although other colours are sometimes found.
This blog concentrates on wallpaper for that romantic look to go with the French style beds in our previous blog.
Large Toile de Jouy design wallpaper in blue on grey, depicting the stairway to heaven.
Sheila Bridges Harlem Toile de Jouy in yellow.
In this period style bathroom, the walls and fitted wardrobes are lined with raspberry Toile de Jouy wallpaper from Baer & Ingram.
A stunning Toile de Jouy pattern in green on a cream background. The design features birds, fruits and flowers.
Toile Bouquet Black Pos, Large scale single placement Toile bouquet, a very new way of depicting the traditional Toile pattern.
