Shelf Life

Here are some bookshelves that I really like - I love the way they have been arranged and personalised with artwork and photos, ceramics and other gorgeous objects and the paintings hung on the fronts of the shelves.

Pottering About

If I could build our house again one of the things that I would add is a butler's pantry come flower/potting room. Our laundry doubles as the potting and flower room and this is not always a successful combination!

Dressing Table Talk

.

.

A dressing table can add a touch of romance and glamour to a bedroom. Do you have one? I don't but I'm wondering if I should have one in my bathroom .....

.

Did you know that the dressing table originated in 18th century France - they were called "toilette" or "toilet tables" because women used to wrap their cosmetics in a small, square linen cloth (the toilette) before they put them in a chest.

Purple Haze

I'm not normally a "purple" person but these shades of mauve, lavender and lilac are so lovely. Purple seems to be everywhere at the moment so maybe now is the time to add just a little here and there.
