A Bright Eclectic Mix

Colour motivates me to create

I am crazy about colour and love every colour under the rainbow.

I love experimenting with different colour combinations to create something fresh and new.

I am always challenging myself to mix unusual prints, colours and patterns to create a look

that's exciting with an unexpected twist.

A Sunny Balcony

No matter how small a space you have there is always room for a splash of greenery ...

It may just be a sunny balcony or a small courtyard but it will still have potential.
Being married to a landscape architect I have seen the
most unattractive, dingy external spaces
turn into an oasis of lush planting, calm and tranquility.
He has transformed neglected gardens and outdoor living areas
into spaces that are welcoming and inviting.
It's amazing how a few plants and a little imagination can transform a space!

Bright & Breezy

 

HOW GORGEOUS IS THIS COTTAGE?

I love the painted timber lining boards and the shabby chic feel to the place!

 The splashes of colour in bright pastels makes this home warm and inviting. 

I love the thought of long lie ins, sunny brunches, cosy nooks for reading, 

cups of tea and home baked treats straight from the oven!

What a perfect place for a relaxing weekend!

Garden Rose Party

 

Today is sunny and gorgeous - a perfect day for Sunday lunch alfresco. This elegant brunch in rose pink is sophisticated yet relaxed with some unexpected twists. The setting combines formal elements with casual style and quirky touches. Vintage Chinese floral plates mix effortlessly with rose tinted crystal and coloured linen napkins. Toparies and simple, mixed blooms arranged in tin garden pots make for an enchanting centre piece running the length of the table. Dining chairs with hand-painted silk upholstery move outdoors to add a sense of grandeur to the scene. Iced tea quench thirsty guests and everyone is treated to a goodie bag to remind them of a perfect afternoon!
