…and so to bed

Aahh! Fresh white 100% linen sheets on a fresh white bed. This bedhead is beautiful, and the touches of black in the room give it a sophisticated feel. So lovely for a winter nap.
This bed looks like it could be against an unused fire mantel and the warm colours are so inviting.
Pretty without being to over done. A little hint of pink and red stops the look being cold (not sure about the purple lamp base though).
This room is divine, my cup of tea. A bit of vintage, not too girly, not to manly and a touch of 1920’s travel with the suitcases as a bed side table.
Now here we have full on glamour with a blue theme. This reminds me of a Hollywood stars boudoir, full of drama and romance….enjoy. xx

I Desire….

This beautiful chair and footstool would be lovely as I am not well and feeling a little burnt out..
How divine is this bed head? I can imagine this in a Cape Cod style house overlooking the sea.
A stunning entry piece to store THOSE shoes, of course in white and rattan..
a gorgeous bed for our beautiful Border Collies…
and a Cape Cod dolls house, not that I have a Girl, I just always wanted a beautiful dolls house like this for Barbie. Hope everyone is well. xx

French Country

French Country in Canada has the sweetest store front that I have seen in a while, and as I am now planning the shop lay out I have had this slight!! fixation with store fronts and layouts…sad I know. The planter boxes outside is something I was planning on our store front. I think I will have an old black bike with a basket of flowers instead.
This utterly divine wire and paper piece is called ‘La Chateau’ and is available through French Country it even has little bistro chairs and table inside..how cute. I can imagine that they are not cheap though.
Here is a find of mine that looks the part and didn’t cost a bomb. This is a canvas style print, is backed with red velvet and only cost me $1.98 each. Needless to say I bought a whole stack of them. This one is in my Kitchen above my bench. People always wonder how much it cost me and just about die when I tell them…
Here is another of my $1.98 finds. It is here in the office (sorry about the skew-if photo). My Mum must have bought one of every print they had as she took bags full back with her from Tassie (much to Dads horror) and passed them out among my Sisters. See, style doesn’t have to cost a fortune…xx

Nordic White

This gorgeous home on the Danish Coast is filled with shades of white, silver and warm wood which fits so well with the Colonial house that envelopes it.
This beautiful table is by Christian Liaigre, as well as the footstools. I think this goes so well with the Shabby Chic lounges from the States and the white floors.
This Kitchen is simple but divine with the American Squareback 1106 Aluminium Chairs from 1932. The concrete floors were grooved while wet to look like floorboards…love it. Double Butler sinks to hide all the cleanup while you entertain would be bliss.
In the Guestroom which is housed in the attic under vaulted ceilings, is a antique iron bed which is dressed in only white linens to keep the space light and paired with simple sea shell prints which mirror what is found out the front door by the wooden boat ramps.
The main bedroom is understated chic. This beautiful mirror is another piece by Christian Liaigre. The whole Home is stunning and I wish I could show you more.
