A happy home

I came across the lovely home of Thecla Reinders over at Taverne Agency. What I love most about this home is her confident use of colour throughout, whether it be the more flamboyant citrus colours or the slightly deeper, more luxurious shades. You really get the sense that this lady has not just based her home around a particular colour palette but around the treasured personal items within the space which make her happy, and it is this which unifies the home and makes it work. As you can see, I couldn't decide which of the lovely images to post so I pretty much posted them all! x

A lovely start to my 28th year...

Time spent at the caravan is time very well spent in my opinion!

Our lovely friends Ange and Ben brought some lanterns with them to light at midnight. It was so nice watching them float away above the sea until they were tiny specks in the distance.

We were woken on the morning of my birthday by the sunrise streaming in through the windows.

Larry loved his time on the beach as usual. This time, chasing seagulls and fetching flip-flops. That's not a fish in his mouth I promise...he's not that clever!

 

...and the icing on the cake was this gorgeous present from my lovely mum and dad.

I saw this 1930's lamp in one of my favourite antique shops months ago when shopping with my mum. At the time I decided not to buy it as I'd spent quite a bit that month but was upset when I realised it had been sold. I really wasn't expecting to see it again when I unwrapped my parcel! They definitely know how to make their daughter happy!!! So, here's a huge big thank-you to everyone who made my birthday so special.

I love surprises don't you? x

Literary perfection

If this were a bookcase in my home, in fact the room in general, I wouldn't ever want to leave!

All that glitters...

I came across Lordship Park, a fantastic photographic location in North London over at Delikatissen and had to take a look for myself. I particularly love the styling of level two with it's combination of ornate French furnishings and beautiful decorative chandeliers, all set against a neutral backdrop with a pop of hot pink thrown in for that finishing touch.

Carrot cake and candles

Tomorrow's my birthday. I'll be 28.

I also sat in bed the other night reading a fridge freezer manual...I'm definitely getting old!

Have a very happy weekend! x
