Sweet Dreams

I love lazy Sundays!

Today I am looking forward to :~

Sleeping in followed by breakfast in bed

pottering in the garden

a good book and a sunny spot to read

a homemade cake and fresh flowers.

Shabby Chic Romance

Perhaps the very first décor style I fell in love with, may have been Shabby Chic ~ the time-worn pastels, tufted headboards, ruffles and fallen rose petals, the lace and rumpled bed linens, and the pretty dishes on open shelves ~ it was all so utterly romantic. Now there is another stylist who has managed to capture the very essence of Shabby Chic style for more gorgeous inspiration pop over to her blog Simply Me.

Not So Shabby!

 

 

"Shabby Chic is a look that's easy to live with and remarkably versatile. It's a study in contrasts between casual and elegant; fresh and traditional; simple and ornate; plain and patterned; rumpled and tidy. And it is a style that easily marries a variety of objects into one harmonious whole through the liberal use of white and pastels."

Sounds beautiful, doesn't it?

What's more, the best thing about shabby chic is that trying to recreate the feel

in your own home is actually achievable and relatively easy.

Sweet Simplicity

This weekend I have had an exhausting, back breaking couple of days in the garden.
I've been cutting back, pruning, weeding, trimming, digging and planting.
My hard work has been well rewarded
and the garden is once again looking spectacular.
By Sunday night, my body was in desperate need of some tlc and pampering.
A long hot bath with some bath salts
is just what the doctor ordered!
Then a good night's sleep in a soft bed
was just what I needed to fully recover!

Rustic Charm

 

 

There is something very charming and quaint

about vintage, rustic and recycled pieces.

They are full of character and personality 

that you don't in find in new pieces.
