Interior Of The Week - Shabby Chic With Touches Of Blue

Don't you just love this light filled home with a touch of shabby chic? 

I just love the blue circular pedestal table and blue and white china, such a fresh Spring look.  Just look at the rustic weathered sideboard, it reminds me a little of the French Shutters I bought for my bedroom makover.   

Blue is so back! If your want to introduce some blue into your home you might like this little slide show I put together on blue and white interiors. Blue and white also features in this months NZ House & Garden Magazine.... gosh I posted my blue and white feature before them...I must be on track and I own masses of blue and white Chinese ginger jars I collected while living in Asia ☺By the way NZ House & Garden is an awesome magazine, probably one of the best no matter where you live in the world. When I buy my monthly copy it's bliss, I take myself off to a sunny corner with a cup of tea and revel in it!...and in case your wondering....no I don't get anything to promote it, I genuinely think it is such a great magazine because the interiors, articles and recipes dominate the magazine, not the adverts. I also feel that New Zealander's have developed such amazing style and design so you can see some beautiful homes gracing its pages.

A Vibrant Eclectic Interior With a Vintage Feel

I've been looking for an interior to share this week that is a little out of the ordinary and when I stumbled upon this home at JJ locations, I just had to share it with you.  The house is an 8 bedroom Victorian villa set in 2 acres of gardens. Clever use colour, patchwork fabrics and wallpaper, along with an eclectic mix of furnishing has created a comfortable vintage feel to this unusual interior. 

This vibrant home in Somerset, UK is available for film/photo shoots, see more images of this unique interior at JJ locations.

White & Romantique Swedish styled Interior

This unusual Grade 2 listed ground floor flat in West Sussex in Hove is full of unique features such as the trompe loeil angel wall painting, an amazing 1800's sleigh made into a sofa and many other beautiful pieces of  authentic Swedish furniture. If you love white interiors and shabby chic you will love this home, although I hesitate to use the word "shabby Chic" as this interior goes way beyond this and is in a class of it's own.  The location is available for film shoots/magazine/styling use, please contact jj locations at the link below if you are interested to see more photos or wish to make an enquiry for filming.

Victorian Factory Apartment Conversion with A Touch Of Shabby Chic

When we hear the word "apartment" we usually envisage a small cramped space with not much character unless of course you are lucky enough to own a penthouse suite in a Georgian manor.  Today however, I am sharing some inspiration via an unusual attic conversion. Previously a Victorian factory situated in London the conversion has created a spacious apartment in what was originally the buildings attic, character is still in abundance and there is plenty of space including a large studio area.

For me it's important in these old conversions that they retain as much original character and charm during their modernisation. I'm pleased to see they have retained the lovely Victorian fireplace in this building, a home is not a home without a fireplace of some description, even my little cottage has a focal fire although mine has been modernised to give a lovely gas flame effect without the labour of collecting and burning logs.  I especially love the wrought iron doors to the bedroom (as seen below), I have an idea of installing something like this at the front of my porch so that I can keep my front door open in the summer but still have security.

The apartment is available for photo/film shoots, if you are interested or wish to see further images of the apartment, please see the link to jj Locations at the foot of this post.

I think I might have to go

on a "healthy kick" to get over the heavy 

Holiday food feeling as I'm so lethargic after eating turkey, ham, truffles, cake, pudding, mince pies and cheese and biscuits!

As I read this back it makes me aware of   those people throughout the world who have little or no food...

I think I will hold this thought and cut back on my eating and make it 
my New Years Resolution to sponsor another child.
