Shabby-chic flowers


Ok I admit it, I have always been a fan of the whole shabby-chic thing...it's just such a girly style and I am such a girly girl! I love these pictures for they're simplicity...some faux flowers and an antique mirror- such a sweet look.

Wardrobe Love



I don't have too much to say about these pictures except that this week I'm obsessed with French Provinial armoires! In the first picture I love how the doors are open, showing linen and old books tied up with twine....and the second picture...love it love it love it! The armoire is so beautiful, especially with the ralph-lauren style suitcases stacked up beside it.

My kitchen obsession...


Oh my I cannot believe how long it has been since I have blogged! Sorry for my slackness everyone, but I do have a valid excuse- I have been on holidays and my partner and I went to stay in the country for a week where there was no traffic, no mobile phone reception, no TV or computers....nothing to do except read my novel and flick through interior design mags! It was pure bliss- I grew up in the country and I definately think I will move back there one day as I get so frustrated with living in the city...the ratrace (everyone is always in such a rush!), the trafiic which seems to be getting worse everyday, the feeling of living on top of eachother ( I feel so cramped!). What I love most about the country is having so much space and waking up to the sound of ten different varieties of birds! Anyway it was a lovely week....and yes I am still obsessed with kitchens. Because I live in a very small flat, I have a very small kitchen, and this frustrates me, as everyone knows a kitchen is where you need the most space and storage! So I think that is why I keep drooling over beautiful kitchen images.....the top image is a copy of Dianne Keaton's kitchen in 'Something's Gotta Give' (best Hamptons kitchen ever!), and the second image I chose simply because it is lovely. I adore the green chairs and the hanging lights. I just know I will have a gorgeous kitchen like this someday! x x
