Bedroom Scheme: Mauve & Ice Blue

Ever since I was tiny I've been in love with mauve... I blame it on my grandmother Marnie (it's such a granny word after all) who used to wear mauve cardigans, grow almost exclusively mauve coloured flowers and decorate her house with mauve cushions (a little O.T.T I'll grant you, but I grew up in a house where the predominant colour combination was brown on brown so you'll forgive my adoration!).  

To this day, one of my favourite bedroom schemes is mauve and ice blue.  I find it so soothing, so pretty, so peaceful... so undeniably girly!  Often, just a touch of pinky purple is quite enough x

Keep Calm & Carry On They Say

Sadly I'm going through another incredibly busy time at work at the moment, hence the lack of posting. The house I'm working on goes out next week and is promising to be beautiful (if only I can get all the last minute details finalised!). I will then have LOTS of gorgeous pics to post but until then my lovelies, I just needed some tranquil spaces to help calm my frazzled mind!

A Whole Bunch of Pretty

This blog started out life as simply a place for me to collect images of interiors that I love... a little catalogue of ideas that I can then keep track of.  So today I'm adding to my collection and including a small description of why I find each image so appealing:

1) The wallpaper, the blue accents, the irregularity of it all.... oh and the equestrian boots with the feather poking out the top - very quirky styling.

2) The button back of this chaise lounge combined with the floor tiles is my idea of classic perfection.  The lace curtain in the foreground is a beautiful Swedish touch.

3) This image has my name all over it - I love every single thing about this room from the dusty pink quilt to the claw-footed bath to the beaten up vintage chair... I think I could quite happily exist in this room forever.

4) Rustic, lived-in kitchens are among my favourite things - I think it has something to do with my country upbringing where the kitchen was a big, bustling hub of the house.  Plus I just adore the little children's chair - it's like the interim step between a highchair and eating at the grown ups table... very sweet.
