Stairways to Heaven






It's probably ridiculous to drool over staircases when you live in a one level house (that you designed) but I would love a beautiful staircase. Maybe next time .....

A Place for Everything ....

.




Hands up who has enough storage - no matter how big the house or how much careful planning goes into storage design you always seem to quickly outgrow what you thought would be waaaay to much storage space. I love some of these quirky storage ideas, particularly the dog bed and wellies cupboard - I wish I'd seen this when we were designing our laundry.

Orange Zest








I haven't always been a huge fan of the colour orange but lately it seems to be everywhere and I think I'm starting to like it! Not sure if I would use it in my house but it's lovely to look and imagine.

Top Drawer



.



Chests of drawers are one of my favourite pieces of furniture and I love them in every room. You can never have too many of these wonderful treasures and they're one of the things I'm always searching for!

Into the Blue







Ice blue is such a lovely soft colour - it's subtle and elegant; it creates tranquil and relaxing rooms. It's a timeless colour, goes perfectly with white but most of all - it's gorgeous!
