QUOTE OF THE WEEK.


"One good period piece makes a huge difference because the whole room pivots on it.In this sense ,antiques set the tone of a room through patina,depth and colour......"

URBAN RETREAT....

I had more images of this tropical haven but I seem to have lost them. Aaah well I'm sure this one still gives you a delicious glimpse of how to pull off a little Tropical paradise in the middle of the city.....

YUMMY GREEN....

Still on the tropical subject, I love the Green on these shelves. Imagine having shelves this high in a pantry space.....life would be good indeed!

BEDROOM MOODBOARD......

I'm revamping our master bedroom. So far I'm really inspired by the Island living style. I'm looking for a fresh tropical feel, crisp white linen with an 'African Colonial kick'...hope I pull it off....... I'll keep you guys posted.

COZY ZEBRA...........

sSo what does a girl do when she has just had THREE numbing injections,three fillings removed and replaced? Why she curls up on the sofa.....feeling sorry for herself......... with a cup of Earl Grey tea and to top it off.......The latest edition of Elle Deco ofcourse!
Aaaaaaahh...that's better.

ONE MAN'S TRASH..........

The other day I had a delightful surprise at the dump,when I went to dispose of our garden cuttings.Across from where I was parked I noticed a wooden box in the wooden furniture skip . See here is the thing ,when you are a seasoned dumpster diver like me you know when you're on to something. Your heart starts racing,your breathing goes a little faster, eyes transfixed on object....I mean this box was tilted on it's side and upside down , But I KNEW, I KNEW I was on to something good! upon approaching it I realized just how much of a yummy little find it was, but recognizing the Dumpster rules-" Due to health and safety regulations(?) removal of any items from the dump is strictly prohibited" -I was out of that place like a little road runner!
Got home and SQUEALED with delight when a saw the sectioned draws........
Reminded me of these I saw at Barn house the other day......
I have no idea what age it is ,or what it was used for, but I'm getting some cheeky ideas for the dressing room.

I SALUTE YOU.......MIV Watts

Serenity is a quality too often lacking in our fast -track lives.........and while most of us turn to clean, white interiors for relaxation, I am drawn to colour and so far no-one carries that off for me like Miv watts.
Her eye for colour is indisputable..her bravery to mix different tones,admirable.
Who would think of a pink kitchen?(loving the cabinate doors)
Let the light flood in........


Day-bed to die for.......
