It’s delicious out there at the moment. The berries are on the trees the light is yellow and turning watery. But I’m still outside when the time comes for me to relax. I have a bench by the pond. I also have a rocking chair. You’ll see why. I’ve made it comfy with blankets, eiderdowns [...]

“They paved paradise And put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a boutique And a swinging hot spot Don’t it always seem to go That you don’t know what you’ve got Till it’s gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot” We sing in the mornings, well, I sing and the [...]

Today I’ve got a before & after for you and a wee makeover that has given this corner of the entrance hall a fresh new look. This is how this footstool looked last Summer. It was one of those purchases that was far too cheap to pass up even though I had no idea when [...]

There’s definitely some brightening up happening in my house at the moment. Mirrors are being painted, flowers are being picked and brought in to the house and various corners are being made-over to reveal brighter spots and vibrant fabrics. Part of this new ‘Springtime’ look are these cushions. When I spotted the fabric I was [...]

The dining room sees a lot of action over any sort or holiday and this year is no exception. I’ve designed a brand new tablecloth with two stunning runners using some delicious fabric I picked up at my new favourite fabric store. I left the taffeta bows on the backs of the chairs from Christmas [...]

The birds are back. They wake us before the alarm goes off and I have to say it’s the most delicious way to start the day. I think perhaps Robert and I are consciously listening out for any signs of Spring as that means the babies are getting closer to being air-born. The arrival of [...]

Good morning to you all from a very sunny West Sussex. We have been doing a lot of de-cluttering here at the house since the sun has come out. There is still a lot to do but I think this sudden rash of tidiness has something to do with the imminent arrival of two more [...]

It dawned on me recently that I rarely show any pictures of my own private space within this house. Don’t worry I’m not going to delve too much in to my private life but I usually only seem show the corners that I’m working on for projects that will eventually go on to the website [...]

A week ago this corner looked like this! But it was time for a change and time to bring Spring into the house with some flowers. With pink and green being one of my favourite colour combinations I found this corner easy to fix up. And with the Ranunculus and Tulips doing most of the [...]

Collections of things scare me somewhat. Collections usually mean something that I have inadvertently collected not something that I have consciously collected. You know the thing – piles of magazines, heaps of clothes that I no longer wear, hotel samples, boiled sweets at the bottom of my bag. They are the sorts of collections I [...]
