...and to keep watching. I can't help but keep looking at the great photos of her lovely home. Look and be ready to drool, if like me, you love simple, functional rooms with just the right accents that tells you it's home.
Sneak peek...
There is something about the rawness of this room that speaks to me. The concrete walls are very industrial, but it still looks so warm.
Oh, to live surrounded by books - heaven! Yes, I am a book hoarder. Though my collection is by no means large. I still have books at my parents' home several continents away. I will bring them back here as soon as I found the place. But, I will dream on for just a bit longer...
I don't even think they necessarily have to match! It's very country chic and it means you can have a look at your local charity shops for curtain colours you love.
The sun seems to like to come out every day now. And I want more of that sunshine inside...
Maybe I should't be posting this as because the less people know, the better the chances I can get tickets. I live in Stratford, London - Olympics town for 2012. It would be such a shame if I cannot watch the Olympics when it will be right at my doorstep. (Though I know some people are planning to be out of the country during that time to get away from the crowds.)
But if you are interested in watching, you have to register now if you want to be one of the first to find out about ticketing information.
No I'm not telling you the website address :P
Living in a country with great food, and stunning places, is there a need to live in a place like this? This is the garden of my dreams, in the country of my dreams. I'll move in anytime....
Storage - I love them all.
I have always lusted for the white, leather, Barcelona daybeds. But always thought they would be too high maintenance (not to mention expensive, unless you get a knock-off).
But, I realised there are still plenty of options. I think these daybeds are so romantic and cosy that I would be lounging here all day.
Heade on over to Renest for ideas on creative reuse for the kitchen. I love these...
Only trouble I had with this is how do you keep the noise and moisture in? Surely there must be a gap between the wall and the barn door as they're not a perfect match. and does it lock?
..and no, I don't think I can use books to prop up vases.
I've only chanced by this shop over at Remodelista. Not exactly somewhere I can just pop into. But I would love to see this shop in person because it doesn't look like a shop.
This is the Toast store in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. So if you're nearby, drop by and let me know if it's as fabulous in person as these pictures.
Images like this makes me feel like I'm home. Cosy and comfortable, someplace where you're forgiven for not putting away things right away or not having to make the bed. And yes, I love toiles!
I have a bottle-full of 1 and 2-pence coins sitting in the cupboards. I try to use them as much as I can (there are a lot of ?.99 priced items out there).
But here's an idea if you have more than just a bottle-full
There is no need for me to make a fortnightly trek to the recycling bin - they'd all be happily displayed in my kitchen shelves.
...and I would be drinking tequila and vodka more often.
No, these are not vintage pieces, but I can't help looking at them...and wanting to dive into bed with all those scrumptious blankets as my flu lingers on with headaches and a really sore throat. boo!
I frequent Desire to Inspire. You'll never want of inspiration there. And I found this...
