1920s style

I have been watching Broadwalk Empire with my partner recently & if any of you have seen it you will know its set in the 1920's a time when both fashion & interiors went through some major changes. Seeing the costumes & sets has really got me thinking about this period in time & how it impacts us today. The roaring 20s saw the new trends of both Art Noveau & Art Deco influence strongely in interior decor. Interiors really became......

I found this gorgeous image over on swoon worthy & swoon I certainly did. I adore this retro vintage sideboard & this is something I'm noting down on my wish list for sure. I love the colours & its also very sleek & stylish I would certainly like to find a space in my home for this.......

Lets look at some cool neutral tones today. Understated cool greys like in this image to the left, work well teamed with many tones from other colour pallettes like they do here with mustard yellow. But they also work well alongside pinks & corals or even teal. Choose a cool grey colour pallette for a backdrop to give an up to date look then add in deeper shades of greys & pops of brighter colours. Deeper......

Well in amongst getting the sledge out & enjoying the snow, I have spent a few quiet nights snuggled on the couch with a hot chocolate (or a cheeky glass of wine) & having a little read of Holly Becker's (founder of Decor8) new book 'Decorate Workshop'. I enjoyed this read & having a little delve back to basics with interior design. It certainly is a good book for someone new to interior decorating. There......

You know I love a good snoop around on a house tour & today we are taking a step inside a beautiful barn conversion which oozes plenty of French Country Charm & Glamour with lots of modern twists to its design. It really is a stunning home with a beautifully soft & creamy colour pallette & lots of french style furnishings. ......

Its so cold outside & quite honestly just as cold inside at my desk. I am sat in my little office wrapped in my scarf & I am able to see my breath. Cant be a good thing can it? The heating here needs to be sorted out pronto!!!. I think tonight I will skip the training (well a girl needs the odd day off to rest her muscles & I have already topped my fastest 10K run time, done a spinning class, Body FX & an abs blaster session you know).......

I have been twittering on about perfect bedroom spaces & what features would be important for me, from four poster beds to beautiful dressing tables to the more extravagent walk in wardrobes. But often people use a small space in the bedroom as a home office too. This is something I have talked about before & I have incorporated home office spaces in to some of my bedroom designs with beautiful matching bedroom/study furniture.......

Ok so I have bleeted on & on about gorgeous bedroom spaces that I love, but I couldnt resist showing you this gorgeous rustic bedroom. The dreamy, white linen drapes on the four poster are simple gorgeous. It has a tranquil colour pallette with the mushroom coloured walls & pale wood floors. It really is the perfect space to relax. This to me is exactly what I dream of, along with my beautiful dressing table......

Ill be honest I'm not a fan of January along with many people. I guess its hugely due to all the build up & excited of Christmas one of my favourite times of the year then followed by a lull of things to look forward to. Its just so dreary due to the cold weather, an empty purse & what is always a quiet period at work. If I could I would hibenate for the whole month under a big fluffy blanket, dreaming of that open fireplace &......

There is something very romantic feeling about a four poster bed, I have always wanted one & in the right house & space I certainly intend too. It really is a classic bed & although nowhere near as popular as it used to be it still graces bedrooms & certainly hotel rooms today. It first became popular in England back in the 15th century. The four poster has certainly evolved a long way since then, from the very heavy oak......

I was swooning over dressing tables the other day, but lets face it if money was no object then every women would be putting a dressing area or walk-in wardrobe (or both) in her dream home. This huge walk in wardrobe/dressing space is to die for, a beautiful dressing table & racks of clothes, shoes & bags like the rich & famous have.Check out Paris Hiltons huge walk in closet complete with a beautiful chandelier....or......

I spied this beautiful dressing table over on my friend Jessie's blog 'mix and chic', & it really got my heart a racing. This is truely gorgeous. I worbled on about dressing tables sometime ago, a pretty little space I feel that every girl should have in her bedroom. Somewhere to sit & do your hair & makeup with lots of pretty things surrounding you. Some years ago every girl had a dressing table in her bedroom & they are certainly......

It's all about the sexy curves in this gorgeous walnut kitchen. I don't think there will ever be a time in my life when I don't get excited about a beautifully designed space like this. The gorgeous warm tones of the walnut wood look stunning against the creamy white walls & flooring. I never tire to see this combination of cool, crisp white against the dark, warm tones of natural wo......

The crisp white walls are a perfect setting for the vibrant pieces of art work & fun pops of coloured accessories. I do love to see spaces with white walls teamed with the beautiful warm tones of wood like in the flooring here or in bold furniture pieces, the contrast has a wonderful feel. Splashes of colour work wonderfully when contrasting against this cool/warm palette with its fresh clean lines. I love to see beautiful & bold colour schemes......

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!Getting it right with vintage style, this space is simple yet very appealing. Pops of colour here & there in accessories cheer up the otherwise very neutral ba......
