Easter

Thursday, March 29, 2012

A Spring palette of sugared almond pastels for the home combined with oh so pretty egg and hen decorations should keep Easter Bunnies of all ages happy! Here are a few of my favourite finds:

Romantic & Feminine Bathrooms

Thursday, June 30, 2011

Inspired by Provencal farmhouses, English country houses and villas in Tuscany, these are some of my favourite romantic bathrooms. All unashamedly feminine in shades of the palest lilac, Palma violet, shimmering silver to blush rose and robin's egg blue. Blissful rooms to luxuriate and pamper!

The Romantic French Bedroom

Wednesday, May 18, 2011

Heavenly billowing drapes, rustic linen, fresh crisp white cotton, decadent silk and velvet combine with ornate crystal chandeliers and antique gilt furniture for the most romantic styling. Simple shades of putty, dove and chalk create a restful, elegant palette for any bedroom. Whilst rich tones of damson, verdigris & olive add drama and decadence.
