Stop and Smell the Roses

I think this weekend would be the perfect time to go outside and smell the roses (and all the other wonderful spring flowers) - enjoy!

Spring Fever

Spring has definitely arrived here in the Highlands - all the trees are covered in pink and white blossoms and the air is heavy with that wonderful fresh smell of new leaves and flowers. Can you think of a better way of enjoying this beautiful time of year than an outside lunch - I can't!

Boudoir Chic

What do you think of ultra feminine bedrooms like these - do they bring out your girlie side? Beds dressed in silk and satin, crystal chandeliers, beautiful mirrored dressing and side tables evoke a slightly daring but romantic boudoir look. Is it for you?

Table Talk

.

Another of my very favourite things are quirky little tables! It doesn't matter whether they're modern or traditional, glass and chrome, wood or iron, you can never have too many of these interesting and useful little lovelies.

French Fairytale

This gorgeous house in Normandy belongs to two ceramic and fabric designers. It was originally built in the 16th and 17th centuries for monks. I just love this wonderful renovation and the faded beauty of this fabulous old building!
