French Dressing - for the Bedroom!

Divine rustic linens of billowing drapes; the gentle patina of wood, stone and plaster; sparkling chandeliers and fine ruffled bedlinen create the sublimely romantic French bedroom.

Farmhouse Harvest

Autumn is one of my favourite times of the year, when the countryside bursts into life and is filled with the most beautiful textures and tones. The soft, low sunlight creates gentle hues of palest golden green, farmhouse reds are rustic of the earth and greys are born of woodsmoke and ash. Wicker, straw, rust and scrubbed wood add texture, whilst the smells of Autumn fill the air now fresh and vibrant with the new season's bounty.

Just a note: I will now be posting every two weeks rather than every week to allow more time for collating and researching!
