First Flush of Spring

Even though we have a light dusting of snow in the village this morning there are are signs of Spring in the garden. Tender new shoots are peeping through the soil and branches are filled with tiny buds holding the promise of blooms to come. I can think of no better way of brightening and freshening a room for Spring than with a few pots of chalky white paint and pretty linens flushed with delicate prints in blossom pink. The fabrics featured in the images below are all from the fabulous range from Peony and Sage designed by Kimberley Bell

A well dressed bed

Taking inspiration from the stylish chic boutique hotel suites, divine bedlinen and well chosen accessories not only bring a feeling of luxury to the bedroom but a sense of opulence and glamour. Layering high thread count linens with sumptuous textures such as silk, cashmere and velvet create a bedroom that is a haven of pampering and comfort. Here are a few of my favourites!
