Simple beauty.


I adore these photographs - the objects in the images, the lighting, the beauty and the softness. Do you agree?? I just can't help myself!!!

Styling with the unexpected.


I always adore styling that offers a surprise here and there. These beautiful photographs fit this ideal perfectly - nothing outrageous just subtle interesting decor. Enjoy. Kellie xx

Relaxed and revived...

I am back from my mini holiday with Kate! It was a beautiful weekend.... We had some fantastic wine (we bought lots), had some beautiful meals (the best fish and chips i have had in ages) and saw lots of beautiful, amazing things! The highlight was the most divine breakfast, the owner Carol at Thistle Hill cooked beautiful cakes and poached fruit each morning and as you can see in some of my pics the decor there is gorgeous! Just so lovely..... Here are just a few picturess of the weekend, hope you enjoy. Kellie xx

2. The gorgeous chairs and fabric on the outdoor seating. 
3. Our of our beautiful and elegant rooms. Perfect for relaxing after cheese and wine tasting!
4. The beautiful breakfast room and divine breakfast - fresh each morning and served so beautifully. The room looked out over vineyards and a dam.
5. Just one shot of the amazing cakes cooked for us by Carol.
6. Some of our wine purchased. Wine and a beautiful candle, with cheese and crackers - yum!!
7. Some of Kate's jewellery hanging up on a plate and also on this beautiful rustic mirror in our room.

Indoor & Outdoor.....

What beautifully styled spaces. One outdoor, one indoor. I am constantly looking for new ideas and gorgeous products that are interesting and unique. There are so many things here that appeal to my senses.

1. Outdoors.


2. Indoors.




Very beautiful and inspirational....

A darling to the eye



Don't you think these photographs ooze beautiful decor, inviting lighting and romantic use of flowers? Sometimes it takes me so long to put a post together, I need my selection of images to evoke the right feelings in me and must reflect one part (no matter how small) of my true style. And of course be a darling to my own eyes.

What sort of things do you look for in a photograph to make it your darling?? I would love to know that i'm not the only one out there that waits for a particular 
feeling?!? Kellie xx

A very white inspiration


I do love white. I need a new rug for my living space and i always gravitate to white. Problem is my darling little girl Lily loves to play in the garden and come running inside through her puppy door. But its not all Lily, i am actually very guilty for being messy. My husband hasn't quite worked out how i manage to make such a mess but none the less it is certainly a talent of mine.

I found these amazing rooms, the white and beige blend are amazing as are the rich textures... So incredibly elegant. It made me realise for me, white rooms never bore me just as i can look at wedding gowns all day- elegant, romantic, soft, timeless and incredibly beautiful. I'm in love with both....
