Faking it

Do you see what I see?

Who needs a fancy French side table or chandelier when you can paint one on your wall!

Great thrifty chic decorating idea. LOVE it! Now if only I had a stencil for these...hmm...

Yes it's true

I am a huge Cath Kidston fan!

I have some gorgeous things of hers, all from my Mum to remind me of home...secretly trying to lure me back to ol' blighty, 'there's plenty more where this came from... over here!' Lol!

If you don't have any and are looking or just simply want more - one great, inexpensive way to bring a bit of CK or Liberty or indeed any other fabric into your home is to buy, or even dare I say print, swatches and frame them.

That is, if your partner allows it...I can already hear my boyfriend's screams, haha! :-)

A Beautiful Wall Feature

I love this idea. It's so effective and yet can be done for relatively little cost.

Through all my thrifting I have now amassed quite a collection of vintage plates. Some are so delicate and special though that I don't want to use them on a daily basis, however that doesn't mean I want to hide them away either.

My solution? Seeing this picture gave me the idea of hanging them on the wall above my chest of drawers.

In fact this idea got me thinking how appropriate it would be for a bathroom as, unlike a painting or framed photo, the china is far less likely to be affected by all the steam and damp.

Hope everyone had a good weekend? Mine was a mix of chilled and social, wish it was still Sunday though, not quite ready for this Monday morning we're having!!!
