Lovely June
Right on time again! The June picture from the BBC Homes and Antiques Magazine. The only thing I am not quite sure about is the silver spotlight lamp. But everything else, beautiful.
Did you see the May issue of Country Living? A wonderful spread on Rachel Ashwell designs. Stunning wallpaper.
And this egg blue chest with the flowers! Where does she find this stuff? I want to visit the sales she visits.
Oh, to dream.
And the most charming garden.
How many years must it take to establish this glorious wisteria?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Prom was simply wonderful. My daughter's dress was the perfect one for her and she had a fabulous time. The only thing is, it is one more step towards...................leaving.
OMG! I just love all the photo's, I wish we all could go on a junkin trip with the Queen of Shabby Chic. I have loved the look for so long and I am finally bringing some of it to play in my home. I can not get enough of her books. Thanks for the post. I am now a new follower of your lovely blog please stop by. XO MARY
I didn't see the lamp until you mentioned it and then I agreed with you...it seems out of place in that room. So glad that your daughter's prom went perfectly and that she had a lovely dress. Ahhh, the stuff of memories. Leaving is hard, but it's all good. Trust us older gals who know such things. ;>
Lovely pictures...but most of all I want that gate...well and the wisteria too.Wonder if they can grow here in Norway???? Great post leading to a lot of drewling,once more :))) Have a wonderful day!!!
Thank you so much for your kind comment on my blog.
Those little lampshades are from Laura Ashley. I actually bought them years ago (when I was at College), prior to owning the vintage chandelier. I also have a set in blue, but sadly there are only four shades, not five.
Your blog is so pretty. I hope you are having a lovely day! xo Molly
Love the living room (and all the others too). I'm dithering over what to do in my living room - all the furniture needs reupholstering -- and I think this might be just the inspiration I needed to get going! Blessings, G And isn't it true, after all these years, I also still love Shabby Chic!?
Why do we love Shabby Chic so much? I just can never get too much for that Racheal Ashwell!!! Hugs for a wonderful sun filled day. xoxoxo
