We just finished carving our pumpkins and
the seeds are roasting in the oven,
yummy!
Hope that everyone has a safe but spooky
Halloween.

Cottage Tour
**UPDATED**
Welcome! This is our home, my passion, our nest.
And if you are here, then you are probably searching for ideas, which is what I love to do.
If I am search for a new mix of colours, a fresh way to do a shelf display, sometimes how to make something. But I'm always seeking. Well, welcome and I hope I am able to provide
some inspiration. If you have any questions, please leave a comment and I will do my best to provide an answer to the best of my ability.
If this is your first time here you will notice that I like to mix a bunch of styles together. I am a firm believer that if it is something you love it will work. Some times it needs a little reworking but it will work. In this post I have links that will take you deeper into that room , giving you more
information and ideas, so please click on the link to that post.
Our home is open concept. I love it, but it does create a challenge when trying to harmonise all the different zones in one big space. I have gotten over the trying to keep it cluttered free.
As I am sure you can tell. Our home is on the smaller scale, and our furniture is on the larger scale.
Until I meet that amazing love seat and sofa set these will stay.
Soon to undergo another slip cover set.

Our dining area is a compact space but I am oh so grateful for this little niche for our
treasured welsh dresser. It fits in that little nook perfectly.

We have lived in this house for about 9 years, spending a lot of time painting and tweaking.
Replacing some of the standard fixtures for fixtures with a bit more character.
Always trying to add character!

Hope you enjoyed the tour!
vintage chic
I have been working on our
main bath,
taking out the dark ketchup color,
and adding deep grey-blue to our retreat.
Filling the glass jars with bath salts and extra face cloths,
completes the spa like feel.
It isn't a very big space so
I added mirrors, sparkle and lots of white.
In this picture you can see how small it really its....
cosy. ;)
The colors on this candle holder work
perfectly with the wall color chosen.
LOTS of candles :)
( Ouch, a little blurry!)
LOTS of towels.
Hope your have a retreat,
big or small it doesn't matter,
just a spot to unwind and relax
