Along the way, Whilst working at Jan Cavelle, I stumbled across the very talented Sophie Paterson (thanks to the lovely Lucy at Lux Deco- more about Lux Deco soon)... Well Sophie's style has really got my passion ignited again. I absolutely love the soft colour palettes she chooses with her signature look of a modern twist on classic style. Her choice of accessories are something that really catch my eye & she's not afraid to use an abundance of them either. Scrumptious choices of wallpapers, luxury fabrics & classic artwork play a key role in all her designs as well as the use of natural elements like wood & stone bowls & ornaments. I am officially stalking Sophie via Facebook & instagram, her beautiful designs are so inspiring & I have put her book on my birthday list (for anyone listening). Well let's just take a little look at some of her gorgeous work <div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Edbk1i3kOTE/ViJd-AU2scI/AAAAAAAAEts/CA0ZS-wSCkg/s640/blogger-image--1996265360.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Edbk1i3kOTE/ViJd-AU2scI/AAAAAAAAEts/CA0ZS-wSCkg/s640/blogger-image--1996265360.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VTumwD-IvMM/ViJdtPGWCFI/AAAAAAAAEs8/U9emLGcjB0A/s640/blogger-image--564672777.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VTumwD-IvMM/ViJdtPGWCFI/AAAAAAAAEs8/U9emLGcjB0A/s640/blogger-image--564672777.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-oDFWHdytN2s/ViJdvTFoeVI/AAAAAAAAEtE/8CUSNe_MpUM/s640/blogger-image--1257595771.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-oDFWHdytN2s/ViJdvTFoeVI/AAAAAAAAEtE/8CUSNe_MpUM/s640/blogger-image--1257595771.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-reemW-Z0uhw/ViJdz0NihhI/AAAAAAAAEtU/u03faRVS460/s640/blogger-image--717629159.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-reemW-Z0uhw/ViJdz0NihhI/AAAAAAAAEtU/u03faRVS460/s640/blogger-image--717629159.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9M6Vkg63DwM/ViJd72tfv0I/AAAAAAAAEtk/AQRo2Jilrds/s640/blogger-image-1262898385.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9M6Vkg63DwM/ViJd72tfv0I/AAAAAAAAEtk/AQRo2Jilrds/s640/blogger-image-1262898385.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ew5UA2kKH4A/ViJdxlpvhZI/AAAAAAAAEtM/GZEX78dO5j8/s640/blogger-image--1426144391.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ew5UA2kKH4A/ViJdxlpvhZI/AAAAAAAAEtM/GZEX78dO5j8/s640/blogger-image--1426144391.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-DnayryLMp4o/ViJd3E7n04I/AAAAAAAAEtc/GKdu-B_k4Pg/s640/blogger-image-1611363681.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-DnayryLMp4o/ViJd3E7n04I/AAAAAAAAEtc/GKdu-B_k4Pg/s640/blogger-image-1611363681.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Yqg039j731U/ViJeAdRFmpI/AAAAAAAAEt0/POvMu6oEXEA/s640/blogger-image--1317998525.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Yqg039j731U/ViJeAdRFmpI/AAAAAAAAEt0/POvMu6oEXEA/s640/blogger-image--1317998525.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fjGtB-0ldE0/ViJeCfr9ESI/AAAAAAAAEt8/lK1DEcuYQpI/s640/blogger-image-746242875.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fjGtB-0ldE0/ViJeCfr9ESI/AAAAAAAAEt8/lK1DEcuYQpI/s640/blogger-image-746242875.jpg"></a></div><div><br></div>Images via sheerluxe.com </div><div>Visit Sophie website www.soohiepaterson.com <br><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01176961036390618458noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228900682499699525.post-25123038798194853142015-03-01T06:39:00.001-08:002015-03-29T09:31:06.831-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">There are often spaces that warm my heart & this is certainly one of them. It's light, open & airy & everything I long for in a kitchen/ dining room. I have always loved open kitchen dining spaces, the kitchen is the heart of the home after all & I love the idea of my dinner guests sitting comfortably sipping wine while I am busying myself in the kitchen. I don't want to be shut off from my guests I want everything open & homely. White gloss kitchen cabinets are on my list, fresh, light & more importantly easy to wipe down. The solid wood dining table & beige tile flooring bring warmth to this bright white save. Most of all I adore the light fixings, another item for the wish list.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ft_ZBK66bVw/VPMkhbFBtcI/AAAAAAAAEsA/k3RlNb8ZS8Q/s640/blogger-image--205951489.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ft_ZBK66bVw/VPMkhbFBtcI/AAAAAAAAEsA/k3RlNb8ZS8Q/s640/blogger-image--205951489.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01176961036390618458noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228900682499699525.post-57892805430307465552014-12-11T12:16:00.001-08:002014-12-11T12:16:19.613-08:00A little inspiration<div>Feeling a little festive right now, the gingerbread house is made, a red velvet Christmas cake to still bake & after browsing pinterest there's sooooo many other food & drink recipes I feel I need to try out. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-S6yY5Bd6nzE/VIn7f0LgW_I/AAAAAAAADwk/dTKDs70IzJo/s640/blogger-image--2045937457.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-S6yY5Bd6nzE/VIn7f0LgW_I/AAAAAAAADwk/dTKDs70IzJo/s640/blogger-image--2045937457.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-hwQOSyz5wiw/VIn7iDPAcRI/AAAAAAAADws/4NB3WqD2qTQ/s640/blogger-image--2075357542.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-hwQOSyz5wiw/VIn7iDPAcRI/AAAAAAAADws/4NB3WqD2qTQ/s640/blogger-image--2075357542.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-fqSoKI5bnFs/VIn7bPgbhzI/AAAAAAAADwU/AzRS4BTEEws/s640/blogger-image-1033925440.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-fqSoKI5bnFs/VIn7bPgbhzI/AAAAAAAADwU/AzRS4BTEEws/s640/blogger-image-1033925440.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-_a8BKNlydC4/VIn7kZ2rpMI/AAAAAAAADw0/QLHEToDbpig/s640/blogger-image-1893231396.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-_a8BKNlydC4/VIn7kZ2rpMI/AAAAAAAADw0/QLHEToDbpig/s640/blogger-image-1893231396.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-nogaKmHJBMc/VIn7dzWTo8I/AAAAAAAADwc/PFnXfcnD9-0/s640/blogger-image--390584022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-nogaKmHJBMc/VIn7dzWTo8I/AAAAAAAADwc/PFnXfcnD9-0/s640/blogger-image--390584022.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br></div></div><br></div><br></div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01176961036390618458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228900682499699525.post-5395537940861119202014-12-05T11:37:00.001-08:002014-12-05T11:41:55.464-08:00Inspiration<div><br></div><div>I do like my textiles from snugly throws to squidgy soft pillows.

The school holidays have pretty much been a washout & I'm feeling I've missed summer entirely. Don't get me wrong I love autumn but I'm just not ready for it yet. I find myself on Pinterest looking at summer themed interiors & outdoor living. I've not sat outside enjoying some relaxation in the garden, no alfresco dining, not even a BBQ. This feels tragic.

<span lang="EN-US">A shower used to be a fairly rare and
luxurious inclusion in the bathroom, but nowadays, we all live such busy lives
that being able to take a quick shower when necessary has become a vital part
of life. If you cannot squeeze a separate shower stall into your bathroom, opt
for a power-shower, mounted over your bath tub. This will allow you to choose
between soaking in a leisurely bath and having a quick, energizing shower while
not using up any extra floor space. If you have enough space in your bathroom
go for a separate shower.</span></div>

I have been chattering about my ideal kitchen space but today I'm looking at inspiration for my perfect lounge space. I always work with a very neutral palette for walls & large furniture pieces as it leaves scope to add in colouring accessories with the changing seasons if I get a little bored. But colour is important to me, I love a light & fresh space with lots of bright pops of colour. Lets be honest we have enough dull & overcast days in this country so bringing some fun & bright colour into spaces to cheer things up feels important to me. Right now I'm loving pale grey & cream painted walls & then adorning them with bright art prints. A corner sofa is a big must have for me if the space allows it & right now I'd choose a grey finish & smoother it in brightly coloured cushions in blues, greens, reds, oranges & yellows to really liven up the space. Some deep chocolatey toned furniture prices for warmth & contrast would perfectly finish of a space, oh & a fireplace, you know how I live a fireplace! </div>

My dream kitchen would be the heart of my home & comfortable seating is a must have. I want it to be a social area not just a cooking space. </span><br>

I have always loved the tranquility of a fish tank (not so much the expense & maintenance of taking care of it), but I could just stare at one for ages its so therapeutic. But when I found these images a few months ago I just totally feel in love. I have this real love of the beach & the sea & really like the thought of bringing it into the home. The beautiful aquatic colours that are so pretty & calming. I have to say this is now a must have for my dream kitchen. </span><br>

<br>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My ideal kitchen would have many features beside a fish tank but one things for sure it will have fresh & bright cabinetry with a colour pallette of blues & greens.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Here's a little inspiration..... </span><br>

Hollywood stars adorn the walls & a mix a contemporary & retro furniture & accessorie pieces bring a real fanciful feel to the decor. There is a strong theme of black, white & cream in many of the spaces making a very elegant & classic look. But the study space & little girls bedroom add a pop of pretty pastel colours to the walls for more of a retro feel. The sleek black furniture in the lounge, with a collection of gold framed pictures & art work pieces has a sophisticated & timeless feel against the fresh white walls. </span><div><font face="Verdana, Arial, sans-serif" size="1"><br></font>
