Perfectly Pale style notes

A little shopping inspired by the beautiful home of interiors stylist Catherine Woram and her architect husband Michael Bains of White Architecture.



Style notes: The beautiful glass footed apothecary jars are a particularly lovely feature of Balham House. Here are a few ideas on recreating the look: 

All glass footed jars & bonbon jars from SHOP: Dibor
Gorgeous soaps from SHOP: Gianna Rose Atelier

Stunning mirrors from SHOP: Decorative Country Living

Lovely candlesticks from SHOP: Cox & Cox


Pretty lighting from SHOP: Bliss and Bloom



Style notes: Pretty textured bedlinen in soft chalky tones against a crisp white background for a restful colour palette. White painted furniture and gorgeous sparkling chandeliers add a feminine touch. Here are a few shops to try:

Deliciously delicate chandeliers from SHOP: Decorative Country Living 


Pretty painted furniture from SHOP: Sweetpea & Willow

Sumptuous bedlinen from SHOP: The White Company


Delicious silk cushions from SHOP: Gingerlily
Sublime beaded cushions from SHOP: John Lewis



Style notes: Fresh white armoires, glass and silver ornaments create a unique, contemporary look to this stunning period home. Here are a few ideas for finishing touches:

Love the jars, I have similar ones in my house with little soaps too! I also have one full with lavender flowers, you can open it and feel the freshness for a while...the scent last for ever if you keep them the flowers dry! Lovely the whole post
