Scandinavian Home

So its been a while you could say, but I have a huge excuse...planning a wedding is exactly an easy task on top of a full time job. But hey, it was an amazing experience and I wouldn't regret the time I dedicated towards it for a second. We both had the most amazing day of our lives! But now we're home (after being honeymooned) I can dedicate some more of my time to another true love...interiors. As my first married post, I'd like to share with you this beautiful Scandinavian home. Rustic, white with a vintage flair. When can I move in? More images can be found via Style Files. Enjoy! x

Renovation of our Cornish Holiday Cottage

Before...

Getting there...

 5 months later...

So...now the weather is starting to change, I've decided its about time I addressed the long awaited job of decorating our holiday cottage back in Cornwall. As usual, things have taken us a lot longer than expected, but I'm proud to say that we've come a long way. Since the first days of knocking down walls and adding extensions, we're finally feeling 'comfortable'. Now the fun can really begin, and I can start to source all the pretty things to fill our lovely new home with. Below are some before and after shots, some change hey? We've still a way to go, but we're hoping by Christmas we'll be finished and our house will be available to rent. Holiday by the beach anyone? xx

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!

Julius Vita Drommer

Gosh...what a find! In my usual perusal of something a little bit different, I came across this beautiful shop called Julius Vita Drommer and I just had to share it with you. I absolutely love everything in her store...if only I could just wander in and browse around. Sigh. But all is not lost, you can buy online. Wohoooo!

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

Toast - House & Home 2012

As ever, I was searching the net last night to find some beautiful accessories to compliment our new home - and I must say, the Toast collection for Spring/ Summer 2012 is to die for. I love their natural, yet colourful approach, isn't it lovely? I'm tempted to buy a couple of silver trunks, and stack them to make the perfect side table, what do you think? I'm also going to treat myself to their coastal blue striped mugs, I love them! Take a peek as I'm sure you'll love the whole collection. Enjoy!
