I’m crazy for tables right now. Ever since the table of my dreams was built by my Dad I’ve been obsessed by dressing it with different settings, colour schemes, cloths etc. I can often be found nipping out in to the paddock with various items from the kitchen or dining room in my hands in [...]

Dreams are funny things. Some dreams have the power to hurt and some have the power to heal. Dreams have the power to get us up and out in the morning as we work towards achieving them and dreams have the power to keep us buried with the bedclothes over our heads as we dread [...]

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 [...]

Welcome to Friday and welcome to St. George’s Day here in the UK. It’s a beautiful day already in West Sussex and the weekend is set to be warmer than it has been so far this year. My condolences to all the runners taking part in the London Marathon, I know you like a bit [...]

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 [...]

I’ve been fiddling about this week and decorating certain areas of the house for Easter. Starting with the Entrance Hall. Do you remember how it looked at Christmastime? Well it’s a lot brighter now thanks to the distinct change in temperature and we’ve even seen the sun shining in through the windows at certain times [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
