Fisherman's Cottage








.
I love this beautifully restored 1906 fisherman's cottage. It's a gorgeous little thing and the monochromatic colour scheme works wonderfully well. Scrumptious!

Collector's Items





.

Are you always on the hunt for the next treasure? I love finding interesting things to group together. Everyone collects something, so why not display your collection. Even the most ordinary things can look wonderful when grouped together!

Through the Looking Glass








I'm mad about convex mirrors at the moment - I would love to find a large one for our sitting room. Did you know that these mirrors were used by butlers in English and American dining rooms to view the entire room whilst remaining out of sight .... after I find the mirror I guess I'll have to start the search for Jeeves!

Shades of Grey







.
Grey is such a calm and serene colour - it's not dramatic like black or white and works with just about any colour. I love every one of these images - they're all so subtle, elegant and very beautiful!
