Colour Scheme: Red, White & Pale Blue

I know this colour scheme is a little "Cath Kidson" but I still love the bright cheeriness of it.  The combination of carnival stripes and florals is like being dropped into an Enid Blyton book... a tad kitschy, a tad quaint but endlessly gorgeous and totally British!

My favourite detail: the painted blue and white floorboards

...where I take a fashion photograph and use it as the inspiration for an interior scheme...

Today's scheme is courtesy of the stunning Desert Mermaid fashion shoot (photographed by Nick Hudson for Cosmopolitan) featured on one of my all time favourite blogs, Dustjacket Attic.
