Peppermint cream interiors .... yes please, I find it hard to say no to anything in this colour and when it comes to interiors there’s nothing more beautiful then hints of mint green setting the scene of a romantic French cottage with wild flowers and rustic cupboards, it adds a summery chic feel and even when its grey outside these beautiful surroundings would take you to a warm summers day.

Over at Pinterest I have been drooling at some of the most amazing interiors in vintage greens here is a few of my favourite mint moments.

 



Doors and Shutters look amazing painted in mint green and they look even better once they've been through a few storms.

 

I adore these mint green walls with dark vintage furniture and wild botanical flowers, what a great way to make your classic pieces pop.

I wonder where this church is ?

I'm picturing the most perfect wedding.

Upholstery update :: sky blues the limit

when you start with a chair that looks like it’s been kept in a skip for the last 20 odd years its exciting knowing that you are going to bring this poor little chair back to life and by the time your done with it, it’s going to be a complete head turner.

I took this pic after I stripped it down, originally it was upholstered in red velvet with brass studs, making this chair look OTT and tacky as the wooden frame is already elaborate enough, I wanted to make this chair look elegant and more simple.

 

I got to learn how to button this term which was really interesting, working out the dimensions for the diamonds and covering buttons by hand is a lot harder then I imagined and the little arms can be fiddly to, but the end result is worth every minute as I’ve fallen completely in love and this will be a hard one to let go.

 

 

I painted this chair in Paris Grey - Annie Sloan {new addiction} I sanded the edges, I think this also helps bring out the beautiful detail that’s in the wooden frame and I decided to go for natural linen in sky blue.

I think this chair would look amazing in a bedroom or if you had a walk-in wardrobe you could have this chair to sit and try on all your beloved shoe collection. {I think Carrie would approve} yep I think I've found the perfect excuse ladies for us to own a chair like this.

Dreamy Greys & Pale Shades

 

 

Living with light and natural shades, adding a relaxed feel to your home is the key to beautiful interiors and I feel that chalky shades of grey and pastel touches are the way to go.

 

This week I have been looking into grey interiors, and to be honest with you I can’t get enough.... I love absolutely anything and everything in grey and it’s amazing how calm and dreamy it can make a room look. I’ve search the web high and low for some inspiration for my up and coming projects. Enjoy!

 

 



I love these charcoal walls with  stone painted furniture, odd chairs and cage lighting, to me this is perfect. Also some of my favourite things are the little touches that seem to make all the difference, silver antique finds like this adorable jug is simply stunning.

A girl can only dream of having a lining canapé draped over the bed....this is magic and I love the chipped painted furniture against the soft knitted blankets and natural linen.
