This is my sort of decorating...different shades of white, hints of blue, green or grey in varying forms, loads of pillows and slipcovers....and heaps of vintage love - mirrors, furniture etc.
I am not one to follow trends, but I love how this style will look great still in 10 years time and not be pigeonholed into any one era. Which also means I can keep digging in markets, garage sales, op shops and the like (which I was doing on the weekend) for treasures to always keep this style fresh to me.
This makes me smile =0)

Office spaces that free your mind so you can create without colour 'noise'. A calming space. My own office is filled with not much else but white and hints of neutral colours and I love to be in there sewing away. The only real hits of colour in there is from flowers and the big sycamore tree which I view from through the French door...and I like that. The metal filing drawers are the statement piece here and I am happy to say i am the owner of a much smaller industrial vintage filing cabinet which I picked up on the weekend while digging in an old barn with my Uncle and Auntie...it was great. I cant wait to show you.

I can never get enough of white dishes, plates, etc. To me, these are sculptural pieces that can be such a finishing touch a room needs. Filled with old linen or ceramic balls, fruit, flowers, candles...etc. Lets not forget blue and white china. I was lucky enough to have my sweet Aunt and Uncle (who I was digging in the barn with for the filling cabinet) give me a lovely blue and white ginger jar to add to my collection today.
Mari Erikson ...and who can forget vintage linens?
These are high on my list of materials to use in a room. re purposing them, like the lift blind I made last week is something I am always doing. You would know I have a thing for pillows/cushions and grain sacks. Vintage linens have so many uses and are only limited to your imagination.
Just a few elements I love.
PS- I have been on a mission lately and have bought quite a few items to fix up...some are hideously ugly and some not so bad, but all in need of a good makeover - and you know how I love a makeover!!
It is my mission this week to take some time for my own projects and do as many of these projects as I can...of course there will be photos =0)
