Country Style Details

The thing that gives a home that lived in, loved feel is all in the details.

I always find that when decorating a client's house the thing that is the hardest to get right and takes the longest are the details - 'the bits and pieces'. But for me, it's the attention to details that makes a house  : the cushions, the flowers, the quirky vintage finds, the antiques, the displays and the collections that give a home soul and personality.

Summer Passion

 

Nothing says summer more than :-

the smell of scented roses and lavender in a summer garden

floaty dresses in pastel shades

 reading under a shady tree, painting watercolours

summer breezes and warm, balmy evenings

Lavender Inspiration

 

Lavender is such an amazingly versatile flower.

It has an infinite number of uses - here are a few of my favourites:-

• lavender looks stunning growing in the garden
•  dried in satchels for under pillows and lingerie drawers
• handmade lavender soap
• lavender essential oil
•  decorating desserts and cakes
• prettying up a tablesetting

I love not only the colour but the old fashioned perfume of the flowers!

Goodbye Fabulous Fall

Today is the last day of Autumn and I'm a little sad to see it go!

I love the beauty of Autumn days.

The air is crisp and lively,

and the trees are ablaze with colour.

There's something very romantic about falling Autumn leaves.

 It's the perfect time to be out exploring the great outdoors.

 It's my favourite season for walks in the park 

and bike rides along the river.

Light & Natural

 

 

 

 

I am loving this natural colour palette in :-

latte, cream, white, vanilla and linen

This combination of colours is serene, timeless and classic.
It is an easy mix to work with as all the colours blend harmoniously
to create a warm and inviting space.
