Mediterranean Blue

 

 

Are you suffering from the blues?

Well her is a little inspiration in shades of ocean, denim and indigo. 

This watery palette reminds me of happy holidays in the Mediterranean.

A great colour for accents around the home, 

dressing a summer table or freshening up your wardrobe.

Pool Chaise Chic

 

 

These pool lounges look like the perfect way 
to keep cool on a hot summer's day.
They look like I could even manage a book in one hand
and a gin and tonic in the other!

Natural Seaside

 

rug / table / dish / chair / crayfish pot / stool

These natural, organic textures bring the outdoors in  

and remind us of tussock grass growing on the sand dunes, driftwood and beach pebbles.

To create a simple, natural seaside home use natural materials such as timber, stone and organic fibres like cotton, wool and sisal. Add some hand crafted details, bespoke furniture and textured pendant lights in earthy colours to create harmony and balance with a coastal vibe.

Hamptons Kitchens

Today I'm swooning over some my favourite kitchens.
For me nothing beats a classic white Hamptons kitchen.
They are timeless and elegant and 
bring some old world charm into your home.
The key ingredients are :-
2 pack shaker doors in a semi gloss finish,
white stone benchtops,
white tiled splashbacks,
a couple of feature glass pendants,
traditional hardware and a vintage style tap.
Just add flowers and I'm in heaven!
