Country Style Pinterest

 

  

I have jumped on the bandwagon and joined many of my fellow bloggers with having a bit of fun on Pinterest. I can tell you once you get going it's very addictive! It's a great place to collect ideas and find some inspiration. I have set up some social media buttons in my side bar so with a click off a button you can pop over to see what's new on my Country Style Pinterest board!

Fresh Beginnings

With a new season upon us I am in the mood for something fresh and new so I have set up a tumblr blog which will have a collection of my favourite inspirational images on chic country style. The gorgeous header was designed by Carolyn from Carolyn V Design - it's pretty and fresh and perfectly suits a blog on stylish country living. Check it out here:- 'Country Style Chic' or use the green 'Tumblr' button under 'Follow Along' on my side bar. I hope you enjoy all this loveliness found in the country!

Vintage Florals

For me, one of the most romantic visions of country living is country florals and quilted eiderdowns. I love the idea of French Amoires and old fashioned cupboards brimming with crisply laundered bedlinen, fluffy eiderdowns and patchwork quilts in assorted colours and patterns. Enjoy your day!

The White Bathroom

White is the ultimate in colour purity. Fresh, clean, pure and simple are all words that come to mind when describing all white interiors, particularly when used in a bathroom. White is soft, subtle and relaxed and works beautifully in all of these bathrooms. Their common thread is that they all possess lovely attention to detail :- the claw foot bath, the vintage chandelier and traditional tapware all add character and interest to these inspiring spaces.

Cute As A Button

This designing duo from Sydney have found the perfect balance when it comes to decorating kids rooms. They are fresh and simple with lots of white on white. They usually throw some pastel shades into the mix to create some interest. They use textures really well in the form of cane baskets, sisal flooring, cotton and linen fabrics. The soft toys, vintage car, cute doll's pram and fun artwork all make the space feel very personal. I love their use of open display shelving - a great way to store things neatly and add some colour. They also have a clever knack for adding quirky finishing touches like this hand painted mural on the kids' bathroom wall.

Outdoor Entertaining

Whilst we are still getting blue skies, warm days and sunshine I feel a great need to make the most of this gorgeous weather. One of my favourite things is having friends over and entertaining outdoors. I love setting the table on the lawn and having lunch or afternoon tea in the garden. On sunny mornings I love sitting in the garden and reading the latest 'Country Style' magazine with a cup of coffee or lazing about on the deck on a quiet Sunday afternoon. Have a lovely Sunday!
