Living with White

Lilac & White - 1

I decorate with a lot of different shades of white. But you already knew that. I use the white as a background, a canvas, a shell with which to place colour. It’s not a new way of decorating, that’s for sure, I’m not breaking new design ground here, but I do find that the possibilities [...]

Winter Squash - 1

Hello! Happy Friday! Oh and by the way you guys are just about the most amazing bunch of people I have ever come across. Seriously, to give that much thought and consideration to the question of a forum posed yesterday was invaluable to me. Each reason for and against was totally valid and had merit. [...]

Autumn Decorating – Dried Hydrangeas

Autumn Morning - 1

I believe I’m still holding out for an Indian Summer. I also believe I may be holding out for some time. It was COLD this morning. We put the fire on for the first time while the kids had their milk just to warm the room up a bit and all of us had our [...]

Terrace Makeover - 11

Hello! Would you like to see my new space? Just outside of the Living Room sits this fabulous decking area. The house is quite high off the ground so this serves as a wonderful area to sit and look out over the garden. Especially at nighttime and early in the morning. I love those times [...]

Refusing To Choose

Lavender & Mason - 6

Hello and Happy Friday! I’m back to pottering. With the drama of the last few months less acute and with the worry subsiding somewhat I’ve taken refuge, as my own sort of healing process, in pottering. This is what I do, it’s what I’ve always done even when trying to follow another life path, and [...]

Dining Corner, Creating a Floral Wall

Dining Corner, Creating a Floral Wall - 1

I’ve wanted a Floral Wall for a very long time. I’ve seen them done so beautifully in magazines, books and online and when we arrived at this house and I saw that the walls were big and tall and wide I knew that somewhere in this house I’d have this wall that I’d wanted  for [...]

Tea Caddy Roses -2

I’m not a professional photographer, just an enthusiastic one, so I’m hoping that I’ve managed to capture what this morning has been like here at my home in West Sussex. I woke early after a very hot night, got up with the alarm at about 05.45am, headed straight for the shower and made the decision [...]

It

As you know, if you’ve been reading me for any length of time, I like white things in my home. My walls are white, my soft furnishings are white and my ‘stuff’ is white. I decorate and collect in this way because I like the way white makes me feel. And that’s it. It’s that [...]

Easter Table 11 -1

Good morning! How are you? We’re good here, my twins are making us laugh a lot nowadays which is something that brings more joy than I know what to do with. A deep joy that I didn’t know existed. If someone had asked me what it was that I was most looking forward to about [...]

Happy Ever After - 10

Good morning! It’s sunny here in West Sussex, sunny but very chilly. When I look out of the window I can imagine that it’s balmy and warm and then I see that the trees are bare and I know that the breeze is in no way cooling but freezing. But, BUT, the sun is out [...]
