Lemon and Lime

 

 

I am loving these warm, sunny days.

It makes me want to get out in the garden or just

laze around reading books in the dappled sunshine

whilst sipping homemade lemonade on the front porch!

Coming Up Roses

    

 

 

Flowers are the costume jewellery of the home. A small detail, but one that can totally transform a room in the way a sparkling necklace can bring a little black dress to life. Flowers are a powerful decorating tool and they are a wonderful form of self expression.

Caramel Luxe

 

 

 

 

I love anything caramel - I drool over caramel filled chocolates, caramel laced cakes, and caramel swirled through ice-cream. I also think it is a sublimely elegant colour for classic pieces like winter coats, pashminas, hand-bags, silk scarves and knitwear ... think Hermes and Savatore Ferragamo! It's also a very sophisticated colour for decorating with. How luxurious would a pair of antique Louis chairs look in a caramel velvet and wouldn't drapes look exquisite in toffee coloured silk? They sound almost good enough to eat!

Cubby Houses

   

 

I spent half of my childhood making cubby houses. On rainy days it would be a blanket over the dining table and in summer it was under the house...surprise, surprise - I ended up an interior designer! Mind you my cubby houses never looked as good as this one. They were more on the creative side with wooden crates for makeshift furniture and hand me down cushions and blankets for soft furnishings. It was full of spiders cobwebs with a dirt floor but boy did I have some fun fixing it all up!

Collect and Create

Surround yourself with what you love ... 

I'm a bowerbird of all things beautiful :-

I collect everything pretty from fabric cuttings, to colour swatches,

cards, ribbons, stationary, wrapping paper, magazine clippings,

shopping bags, invitations and business cards

Anything that catches my eye or take my fancy. 

I keep them in pretty boxes or add them to my pinboard.

 

Loving these inspiring home offices!
