After a very tiring week I plan to do some cocooning this weekend, baking, playing with the boys…family time basically.
Lori from Frugal Farmhouse Designs blogged about the very talented Kelly McGuill the other day and that she has a blog…didn’t know that.
I loved this shot because I have a wicker trunk beside our sofa and before Summer arrived, we had our blanket box as our coffee table on a jute rug with trim like this…and you know I use hydrangeas and have a thing for long branches!
Kelly’s use of white is so beautiful and I love throwing in industrial elements into a space like steel, nickle, signs etc and really liked what she has done with this kitchen.
Ticking is another love of mine…and I have this exact one! the blue and white fabric on the armchairs reminds me of another favourite of mine – blue and white china.
…but it is this space that makes me swoon!

Oh, I love this shot of Tricia’s Bedroom.

Then again, a traditional setting is so homely and reminds me of a childhood Christmas, full of wonder and amazement.
I hope this all gets you in the mood…Ness xx
I needed some serene, clean images today and could not go past one of my favourite Designers, Tricia Foley. These beautiful images are of her tiny Attic space she has remodelled to fit a guest room and powder room. This little Minette sink saves loads of space ans is so cute. The wall above has been built out to fit her guests’ toiletries.
From the doorway, you can see just how small the space is, but with a mass of white paint it looks much more roomy than it is.
Tricia collects vintage baskets, bags and trays and has used them in this space to create a sense of warmth and texture and for little treats for her guests.
The whole space is 14 x 24 feet! You wouldn’t think so though.
Wicker trunks hold all of the necessary linens like vintage Marseilles spreads and white fluffy towels. I love those slippers.
The wooden grid came from a mail room. Tricia painted it white and added cup hooks for guests’ clothes. I can’t wait to have our home back to some sort of serene order, but in the meantime Tricia’s’ home will do just fine.©Marley&Lockyer 2024. All Rights Reserved.
