Having  closed a chapter of Christmas get-together's another opens with Spring and Summer gatherings ahead -I know!!  We are only in February, but is my way to get through this wintery month by dreaming up fun social events at our home with our friends and family . I just came across this image of a gorgeous Summer evening garden cinema party and I just had to share it with you ! I think I might just have to copy it ;-)

Home Photo Shoot Part 2

Time has flown by so much ! It has been a very long time since I posted here but the last few months have been manic! 

Last week I was  asked to take images of my home for a possible project that I'll tell you about when I can, which has inspired me to rearrange and decorate my house again! So this morning I managed to convince Matt to help me out to paint and rearrange the furniture. The images here are of our two living rooms. The  first image is where the tv room is facing the front of the house. It is a small cosy room decorated with an eclectic mix of furniture. The two tables I painted and distressed and the shelving is from Ikea, which works fantastically as an alternative way of displaying my photographs. The gorgeous lampshade is from  Graham & Green, one of my favorite shops along with Anthropology- Of course !

In last three images you can see the "chill out" room as we call it..It faces the garden so this is where we spend a lot spend time reading and listening to music... The cushions/pillows are from my collection in my shop, the sofa bed is great when we have guests which is from Ikea, the two lovely paintings above are a wedding gift from my Aunt Rosa Mirambell, a very talented artist from Barcelona, Spain. The blue painting bellow is  one of mine and the book shelf I painted and refurbished. The brown coffee table  is going to have " white " makeover today.  

The  last two months we've had amazing sunshine, which I was finding it frustrating working in my studio as it  doesn't have such a great view.  I  moved a little table near the garden door so I can have the laptop as a means to catch up on emails whilst enjoying the garden view and animal noises coming through from the forest. So as you can see the two rooms have a purpose :-)

Home Inspiration-Swedish Style

My passion for Swedish decor goes a while back when I had my first apartment and decided to paint & distress all my furniture white - ignoring the constant banter from my friends commenting that I myself was going to end up looking white too ! Years on I still get just as passionate when sourcing for inspiration and come across lovely images such as the ones above collected for my scrap book... aren't they so dreamy?

Images are from Debi Treloar, Living etc and via sfgirlbyday.

Have a lovely weekend whatever your plans are :-)

I Heart Anthropologie

Having read about Anthropologie through other Blogs from the US I was intrigued what the hype was about. So when the flagship finally opened in London's Regent Street I had to go along and investigate...My goodness !! It was made for me !! Yep, everything in the store I have in my mental shopping wish list. The store consists of three floors filed with delicious goodies of homewares, accessories and fashion with a vintage, boho- style. If in London I highly recommend you check it out. Kings Road store or Regents Street, you wont regret it !
