One of the things that inspires me most is my home. It is extremely important to me for many reasons. Not just a place where my family hang out but a place to surround myself with things that make me feel comfortable and happy.
I have a love for vintage things, from jewellery to furniture. I have a practical family home but I also love to fill it with beautiful pieces, things that are shaped a certain way or a colour that inspires. I like to display the vases, mirrors, pictures and ornaments that I have bought from various places. Of course like many households I have my fair share of Ikea but I like to make a room individual with the colours, fabrics and pictures I choose and also add pieces of furniture I have rescued or bought second hand.
A few of my favourite things....
1. A tile with a colourful painting of the sand dunes in Brazil - painted in front of me and my husband on our honeymoon
2. My vintage style Marmite pot my mum bought me
3. My G-plan teak sideboard bought on ebay
4. My vintage tea set with the most gorgeous purple and turquoise flower pattern I bought in a charity shop
5. My new Orla Kiely butter dish - a new design but very retro looking
"If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful."
