Music to my ears
MUSIC TO MY EARS Tivoli. I’ve admired these for such a long time; something practical that is also aesthetically pleasing is a rare find. I’ve not had reason to take the plunge and purchase one, that is until, the day of the rain. I like open windows and unfortunately sometimes I forget to close them so when we had a day of heavy rain, the open window, above the stereo kind of necessitated my purchase. I wasn’t too Winter Flowers and Wandering Thoughts
Winter. The garden looks barren apart from these Winter Roses. Helleborus. I had forgotten I had planted them. It must have been a chance thing because I really know nothing about the gardening, I usually get it all wrong, over planting in haste looking for an instant garden, ending up with an overcrowded mess. Yet there they were, perfect amongst the mulch laid by my husband who knows a fraction more than I! There must be a time we Your little story
YOUR LITTLE STORY A recent visitor to my little house seemed distracted during our conversation, she apologised and said “…its just that there’s so many interesting things to look at in your house”. Those little vignettes are what tells your story. A simple piece of furniture is transformed when topped with some beautiful objects and the collation of those objects is your stories plot. So grab a surface and some bits and pieces you love and see how your story How to do Monochrome

HOW TO STYLE YOUR ENTRANCE First impressions count! Your entrance needs to draw you in, it needs to be a clear point of which visitors will gravitate toward with no hesitation. It can say a lot about the dweller, for example homes with a brightly painted front door will indicate a fun and vivacious person inside, quaint entrances with artifacts located around it will indicate a collector dwells within. Entrances with little adornment creates a vision of an Simplicity in Sweden
SIMPLICITY IN SWEDEN Right that’s it I’m moving to Sweden! With just the right amount of design furniture, clever use of window spaces for storage and display, sumptuous use of fabrics combined with rustic wood I am in love with this home. Captured with beautiful images by photographer Jonas Ingerstedt it totally wins my heart. What does my little house have in common with this one? Simply not enough but I do have the two Vee Speers prints, the bamboo My Little Office
MY LITTLE OFFICE Its strange working from home, yes I have to admit to occasionally still wearing PJ’s at lunch time whist at the computer and I have to admit to occasionally avoiding that same computer until at least lunch time. One of the most important things I have found is to create a space that is not only comfortable but that inspires you. I have a nook which is hidden behind some sliding doors with a built in desk, Mix and Match
MIX AND MATCH “A home should always feel like a portrait of the person who lives there” Georgio Armani I was recently interviewed for a magazine article and was asked “What best describes your style?”. Now as an Interior Designer I know that identifying a clients style is crucial to meeting the brief and yet as a stylist I know that you can mix and match to your hearts content as long as you provide a continuity and Style up a guest room
STYLE UP A GUEST ROOM Guest rooms are fun to style as you don’t need to be practical; you can finally use that gorgeous stool you’ve always wanted to use as a bedside table; that cushion with a burst of colour; that lamp that never quite finds the right home… however I do recommend that you use good quality bedding as this can make or break the look. This small bedroom has only room for a double bed, a side table, and a shelving
