Greenhouse Glamour

I am loving this very chic and stylish conservatory complete with chandelier, elegant sofa, pretty scatter cushions, antique chairs and hydrangea tub. What a perfect place for iced tea, dainty cakes and gossip with the girls! Strictly no men allowed!

A Day In The Garden

 

 

With a lazy Sunday planned, I couldn't think of anything nicer than lounging around in the garden. I'm feeling inspired by these gorgeous images and may set up lunch in the garden or I may even get adventurous and set up a picnic complete with rugs and pillows, china and tea cups. I'll do some baking in the morning and we can have an old fashioned picnic. The kids would think that was a load of fun!

Vintage Pop

 Here's a splash of colour to brighten up your day.

I love the mix of colours and patterns to create these sunny cheery rooms

- full of personality and whimsy!

My favourite is the dining nook with the brightly painted Thonet bistro chairs.

By Gone Days

Here's a little vintage inspiration that brings back happy memories of my grandmother. She had some many fabulous curiosities that made every visit an adventure as I rummaged through wardrobes, dresser drawers and under beds in search of treaures to play with.

The things I loved about my grandmas' house :-

freshly baked cakes

tea served in china teacups

silver teapots with knitted cosies

vintage hat boxes

gold compacts and strands of pearls

wrought iron beds

garden roses in crystal vases.

A Splash of Colour in the Kitchen

I love a pop of colour in the kitchen especially when there are little kids in the house. The kitchen is usually the hub of everyone's home so it should be bright and cheery. I love the sense of fun that all of these kitchen possess and you can never go wrong with a white kitchen!

Vintage Chic in Lilac & Pistachio

Here's a little midweek prettiness with mauve and pistachio I'm loving the floral green quilt cover - it looks so cosy and inviting and that afternoon tea setting looks like the perfect place to while away the afternoon with a friend over a cuppa and a freshly baked friand!

Sparking Grapefruit

One of my favourite summer drinks is sparkling grapefruit. My favourite brand is 'Tiro' because of it's stylish packaging. It's perfect on a hot summer's day - bubbly, refreshing, pale pink and not too sweet. It even has the sharp, bitterweet taste of a real grapefruit. I often serve it at parties to those that aren't drinking alcohol - that way they still feel like they are still having a bit of fun!
