My Dream Kitchen

Sometimes, when I'm in need of some interior inspiration I go straight to 1st Option Locations as their properties are to absolutely die for. But when I last looked, I was just over the moon the find this beautiful house which I read about in Living etc earlier this year. At that time, I tore these pictures out for my scrap book (and stuffed them under my husbands nose to say 'this is the kitchen I want') but I'm absolutely thrilled to see that 1st Option provide so many wonderful images showing this kitchen from all angles. Its so beautifully finished and I love the deep green/ blue cabinets against the white panelling too. Amazing! Its naughty to steal someones look but hey - who's gonna know? ;-) Enjoy!

Industrial Lighting

I just love industrial style lighting and as part of our home renovation I've been searching high and low for the perfect style. Don't you just love these above? I've bought the bottom right hand image for our bedroom, aren't they lovely? We've also sourced some amazing old shipping lights for our decking outside. The above lights come from the following stores, but Ebay is also a great place to find such a fantastic lighting. Happy sourcing!

Baileys Home and Garden

If you're in search of rustic, vintage or plain and simple interiors then Baileys Home and Garden are amazing. And if you're ever near their store, then it's so worth a visit. I was blown away, and had bubbles of excitement as I walked around the beautiful barns. So inspiring! Even better, they have a lovely little cafe serving the most delicious cake and tea. Yum! x

Home Inspiration from Quirky Interiors

Hi! Yet again, so sorry for the lack of posts lately. Things have been rather hectic! As you may know, I'm in the middle of a build project and I have full responsibility of the interior. Amazing! As much as I'm over the moon - it's still a little daunting. When it's your own home, it's so hard to make that final decision on what to buy. But having come across the website Quirky Interiors, it's confirmed my thoughts on how to have our kitchen. As I'm sure you're aware, kitchens are probably one of the most expensive ways to blow your budget, so I've decided to go ahead with a homemade 'rough luxe' look. We'll be clambering around for old pieces of wood and hopefully it'll look amazing, we'll have to wait and see. In the meantime, take a peek around this store as you'll love it I'm sure. Enjoy! x

Amy Perry Antiques

I just wanted to share with you a real gem that I found the other day, you're bound to love it! Its called Amy Perry and it's based in Tetbury. This store just blew me away! There are so many interesting antiques as well as old vintage mirrors and French linens...and the best bit?? You can buy all her wonderful items online as well. Amazing! I'm super chuffed with my little find. xxx

Chipping 1 & 2

After working my little socks off (or rather large socks I'm afraid, a size 8!) I've decided that a mini break is in order. Having visited the Cotswold's many times in the autumn and winter, I would love to go back and witness just what it's like in high summer. Rather than choosing a cosy hotel with open fires and checked throws, I feel these Chipping Apartments by Lena Proudlock would be perfect. I love the mix of bright white walls with antique furniture and oil paintings. Very cool. xxx
