Old meets new in a home with a twist

Inspired by an absolutely beautiful Alice in Wonderland children's garden party I saw here I thought I'd feature a slightly different home today. A beautiful home created by Gilles Jauffret with an eclectic mix of old and new and little unexpected twists.  Personality and creativity sings from every room. A perfect home tour for the weekend!

Any favourite rooms or ideas? Personally, the moss wall stands out a mile, who would have thought it could look so great? People, we need to be more bold!

Just before I head off to the beach with my girls I've got to give you a quick tip to check out the Haute Design blog, it's full of so many fantastic posts, a quick word of warning though, you could be stuck there for hours!

Have a lovely Friday! x

Harbour Cottage, Maine

I have a dream home. It's a cottage over looking a remote, wild coast with the beach on our door step. The winters are wild and romantic with blustery walks on the dunes followed by cosy knits in front of a fire and the summers are spent with morning dips, crabbing and paddling in rock pools with my girls. Balmy evenings with bonfires on the beach and ever changing views. OK I'm getting carried away.But you get the picture! If you don't, this beautiful former General Store in Maine owned by Fiona And Tony Hooper, now renovated into a holiday home may help set the scene. According to Meghan at Wishful Thinking the tide comes up so high it laps at the front door. And behind that door is everything a cottage should be. And it's up for rent...YAAAAAAY!

If I had a cottage I would definitely go for this beautiful white, pale grey and and light wood scheme. I love that it's kept very basic so that the spectacular views over the bay do all the talking.

I also really love the geometric mustard yellow and white blanket. I wonder where it's from? It reminds me a little of the blankets and textiles from Ferm Living.

Can someone tell me, what's Maine like? I think it could be worth a visit....x

PS Thank you so much to Justine Hand for allowing me to use her lovely photos. There is a great write up on her blog about this home and some of the work Sheila Narusawa put into the renovation.

Beautiful all white home

I was just about to enjoy a cup of tea in the garden when the IKEA Family Live magazine plopped through the door. It couldn't have been better timing! There's always a few gems in there and this beautiful white home in Tuscany is a fine example. I spy many IKEA staples such as the Urban chair, and check out the paper display over the dining table - possible DIY project for the weekend?

I also love the IKEA blog Livet Hemma - the only trouble is it always makes me want to hot foot it down to IKEA to buy the latest PS collection range.

What do you think - do you have the restraint for an all white home?

Another sunny day here in Sweden! I could get used to this :)

Eclectic, vintage inspired spaces in Scotland

Today is a good day. The sun is shining in Skåne. Hurray! And to celebrate I wanted to share theses beautiful eclectic, vintage inspired spaces styled by Rosie Brown, the Scottish co-owner of online boutique Papa Stour (love the name!) which sells the cream of Scottish contemporary crafts and design.

Any spaces you loved in particular?

I love the picture of the view looking out over the roof tops as it reminds me of my days at Edinburgh University. We always lived in top floor flats and after a long climb up a stony staircase we were rewarded with a beautiful view like this, and hopefully a cup of tea and a piece of toast like in the last picture! Thank you to blog SF Girl By Bay for the tip!

Bed time in serene blues and greys

Monday morning. And the only place I could imagine being is in one of these serene bedrooms for a peaceful siesta...  Scandinavian greys, blues and whites. *sigh* how lovely!

There's nothing like a little luxurious bedding. My staple favourites are The White Company and Himla. Do you have any coveted bed linen?

PS Three nights on a sailingboat is enough to dream of a beautiful 'princess and the pea' style bed like the multi-matressed one in the picture above. We did have a lovely time though with a sail to the island of Ven and I finally made it to the Karen Blixen museum in Denmark since we moored up right outside!  I hope you all had a great weekend too?

PPS sorry if I missed credits, it's very difficult when using Pinterest, but I thought these bedrooms too beautiful to pass up!
