First Impressions

Our entry/hallway is still in its early stages so I'm always looking for ideas. We have most of the furniture but still need the finishing touches - paintings, umbrella and walking stick "holder", lamps, rug ... the list (and hunt) goes on. Love some of the ideas in these hallways - they give you a lovely idea of what the rest of the house would be like and make you want to see more!

Light and Airy

What a fabulous house this is! The ceilings are wonderful - the same open style seems to be used throughout. I love the neutral colour scheme and the brilliant chandelier in the living room.

I'm away for a few days - back at the end of the week. See you then!

Garden - Before and After

Before - shortly after the house was finished, Mr Brabourne taking Jock for a walk. It looks like a moonscape - it's only when you look at photos that you realise how much things have changed.

After - what a difference seven years makes!

Same view - different angle.

Before - the dovecote in the kitchen and rose garden.

After - the dovecote had lavender around it but I took it out a few weeks ago and I'm now trying to think of a suitable replacement. Coastal rosemary maybe?
