The Simple Life



It always amazes me how inexpensive it is to create a beautiful space.  
So what are the ingredients that generate this magic? 
I think it is down to not trying too hard.  
The hardest thing to do, is not to over do. 
White walls, old floorboards, a table with ‘character’ and a glass water jug acting as a vase for some beautiful peonies (they are the key) 
all go to creating a welcoming entrance space.

Greece Colours: No.2 The Soft & The Sweet




Greece is known for its strong sun light. 
Around the world, people reflect on the bright white walls sparkling in the noon day sun.
 But no one speaks of the sweetest of lights and the softness of colours  that the sunrise and the sunset brings. 
These are the most precious hours of a day in Greece.

Why not both?



Socks or stockings?  Open toed shoes or closed toed?  Which is the correct combination?  Sometimes, the best results are the ones that just feel right rather than are correct.  
Be brave, indulge your creativity, dress for yourself and just have some fun with it. People will either get it or not.
