Mixed lovely..

Just going through my numerous files of images that I have

come across and saved. These all come from one that's called 

'Mixed Lovely' but I have several in the same genre, like 'Nice',

'Random beauty', 'Like these', 'Eye candy' etc. I you know what

I mean.. :) They are all great but take up a lot of room so I will 

try to weed and/or share them with you over the next few weeks. 

Please may I also already say that some of them don't have the

original reference - I am so sorry for this and ask that anyone

that may know the source or want to be the source lets me know.

I love hats. In fact I used to have a vintage hat collection in

my very first apartment when I was in my teens. Sadly I had

to part with it when I moved to London at the age of 18.

This picture is so great and makes me think of a home full

of different personalities - all wearing their unique hat. A

great opening shot for a nice story for the kids.. Must remember.

 Aren't these wonderful. See the little slots on the top - 

almost like you could insert a 'his' and 'hers' tag in each.

I imagine an elderly couple sitting here holding hands,

thinking back on the wonderful years they have shared..

 Ahh.. if only.. My linen cabinet is somewhat different..

 I love this old work bench. When my mother and step dad sold

our old summer house a couple of years ago an old bench like

this one was given to my stepfathers son. It had been in the family

for generations and he remembered his own grandfather using it

when he made some of the furniture for his parents' home. I would

have loved to give that bench a home - I can see it as a fantastic

hallway console or why not a bathroom bench, like here!?

  I love this room. It has the right balance of elegant, rustic

and industry chic. So light and happy somehow.

 Would love a guest room like this. Minus the carpet.. 

We are currently renting a place and have been here a year, almost

to the date. Since we moved in our life has been so chaotic and full

of big events that we never really got a chance to 'nest' properly. Still

we have no pictures hanging on the walls.. They are all stacked in neat

piles around the house just like this - waiting to be hung...

 I'd love to sit here and drink that tea! 

I have a real thing for cow hides like this one.

Looks like a summer or holiday house to me.

A harmonious place full of wonderful memories and happy times.

 Smooth, creamy, tropical and lovely table. Yum!

And don't you love those little silver leaves tied to the napkins

and the fantastic knives - are they bone, antlers or wood?

 Can you imagine..!? Now I know that those of you with kids hear

several voices in your head.. :) Let's just agree that this is a room 

children would never enter.. It is so totally set up for a romantic weekend..

 Are they apple blossoms? I think so and I love them. Actually I love

 all twigs and branches and always bring bunches into the house and

divide them into several vases, low and tall, all around the house.

 I love using wall paper and wrapping paper rolls in table settings.

Such a great way to create a runner for a special occasion.

 Love these. Want these. Think the colour is insane and love how

it flakes and fades here and there. Also love how bow-legged they are.

 So there. Now I am 14 lovely images lighter and I am so glad

to have shared them with you my lovelies. Hope you like them too!

xx Charlotta
