Colour me happy
























{Image 1, 2}

I love colour (if you haven't already guessed!). One of the ways I have achieved colour in my home, short of painting my walls which sadly isn't an option as I rent, is with fabric. Cushions, throws, table cloths, even framing fabrics! Even though I seem to be endlessly buying things [at next to nothing, so I buy more of course! ;-)] I am still amazed at how long it takes to build a look. It really doesn't happen over night! Loving this room above, a perfect example of how I'd like my place to look and also loving the colourful china!

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend, we had a really sunny mild day yesterday. I wore a dress and small cardi and was perfectly warm, wow!!! Maybe summer is upon us....?

  5. I'm not a big fan of too many bright colors in my house. However...if i see it in somebody else house iloveit. Just too chicken i guess. Check out my old VW camper, that's where i will use some colors. Have a happy, happy week.

  8. Gorgeous colourful images! I always like to add colour through accessories so I can mix and change things around when I want a new look. Glad you could enjoy some sunshine over the weekend x

  13. Oh that room is so colourful and makes me happy, it works so well too. I too love colour, I hate when I'm clothes shopping in the winter months and it's all dreary dull dark colours in the shops. Not good! Thanks for sharing.

    All things nice...

  17. I love how fun and vibrant these rooms are! I prefer to live in a softer palette, but I wouldn't mind visiting bright color. :)

  19. Having just stumbled upon your gorgeous blog I was immediately taken with the colours in your banner. Then I scrolled down to find this post, it's like Christmas for a colour-junky.
