yes, you are on the right track with the kirkdale range. sorry i am still trying to get a proper idea myself of what i want so i just linked to ones i liked. i like the velvet, silk, buttons, castors sort of look, in the plums, violets, greys and teal colours.
have just realised the second laura ashley link doesn't take you to teh right image. it is the two purple armchairs in the 'all a flutter' collection.
