Autumn @ Brabourne Farm









Autumn has arrived at Brabourne Farm - the days are getting short, the nights are cold, the leaves are turning yellow and falling and the larks have headed north for the winter. It's time to fill the wood basket and look forward to long nights by the fire - who could wish for more!

A Place to Dream









As we spend about one third of our lives in bed, our bedroom should be beautiful and luxurious, a room to relax and pamper ourselves in. Be indulgent! Go for pure comfort - beautiful linen and pillows, soft lit lamps. Surround yourself with your beautiful treasures and photos. Make it a place you look forward to returning to at the end of the day!

Also, a big happy birthday to the gorgeous Lee over at Glimpse of Style (have a look at her blog - you'll love it). Hope you have a wonderful day Lee full of lovely, lovely things!

Old Coach House Restoration







I love the beautiful restoration of this old coach house. The use of oak plank for the floors as well as stone and marble has created a wonderful contemporary house in an historic setting. Love the linen-covered sofas and antique furniture.

Delicious Comfort








I love these beautiful sitting rooms - they just beg you to come in and relax. What gives a sitting room a cosy feel? For me it's squashy sofas piled high with feather cushions and soft throws, a collection of my treasures and beautiful things, photos and paintings, a comfy chair for a quiet read, well-worn antiques, an open fireplace ..... all these things (and more) help to create my own little piece of heaven!

Bath Time







I don't think there's anything more luxurious than a beautiful white bathroom. I love the way these bathrooms have been furnished like rooms - it makes them look so comfortable and inviting, the perfect place to indulge in a spa experience.
