And these are a few of my favourite colours ..............In theme!

Blending a lot of bright colours together does work as long as you get the balance and tones right for the space available.

Snow White Inspired rooms

As we had our first proper snowfall in Letchworth Garden City overnight and the most part of the morning (not the little flurry of snowflakes or the little tiny balls of hailstones this time), I was inspired to share with you some 'Snow White' designed rooms.

This could be Snow White's bedroom updated to meet present day design themes!

The colour white represents purity and coolness. It makes a space airy and more spacious especially when walls and ceiling are painted white. White is a very neutral colour.

This laundry room below is very clean and looks quite contemporary with it's white interior. I bet you, even I would enjoy doing my washing, drying and ironing in here.

Am all for this white kitchen and yes I know it might be a nightmare to keep clean. But I must say it looks dead white gorgeous!

Now this is good enough for any sleeping 'baby' beauty. 

}My take on Snow White inspired spaces ~ They are very calming, very relaxing and very spacious~

Anyone needing a Christmas garland ..................

All sorts of christmassy garlands have come out of the closet this season especially now that people are feeling the pinch. The trend I've been experiencing is a mix of traditional and shabby-chic. Recycling and 'Upcycling' are the latest buzz words used in home furniture and accessories as well as fashion.

What does your Christmas Wreath say about you?

I am always fascinated at this time of the year with the creative christmas wreath displays in peoples homes, shops, shopping centres, community halls, churches, schools. You find them everywhere really.

A christmas wreath is a basically made up of leaves (could be green, orange and brown), dried winter fruits, flowers, twigs etc.(you get my drift). It represents the 'coming of christ' and you find them adorned literally everywhere during the advent season.

This beautiful brown christmas wreath is from Pottery Barn. I like it very much. I love it's simple design.

Home offices can be created out of the smallest spaces. By maximising what you've got, you do not need to splash out by buying more furniture.

This one below is compact, when your done with work you can actually leave work behind. Just close shop literally!!!! I'm loving the combo below.
