Crystal, bottles & beautiful light

Some days when it all gets far to complicated to absorb any more information or images, it's nice to reflect on very simple little gatherings of objects.  Small clusters of bottles, flowers and bits & bobs.  Simple, reflective, peaceful.  If only life was always like this!

Pink-o-rama

 You know, I never thought I liked pink.  Thought it was a big ol' gay colour.  But you know, I came to the conclusion that it evokes femininity and can really pop in design like no other colour.  I've blogged before on pink, and then I realised I think I need more pink in my life. Blush, coral, rose, fuschia, hot, salmon - also shades like watermelon, cerise and of course baby and lolly pink.  No more lolly pink than this beautiful little toy poodle. 

La Pink Poodle - tres chic!

Robert Allan - "Reno Pink" fabric.  I die.

Pink damask really adds to the style of this room.  Loving the crazy velvet upholstered sofa!

Bathroom Delight - tubs to die for

My favourite room in the house is without a doubt - the bathroom.  If it wasn't so expensive to plumb, tile and paint these small but important rooms I'd be doing it every month (if I also had the time!)

Crackled Mirror

As I was spending a lovely Sunday morning have tea with my friend Trudy, we leafed through this month's Vogue Living and I shared with her my love of this broken, cracked mirror. She believes that it has been glued back in like a mosaic. Whatever the means the end is wonderful....
