Bedroom Update

Happy New Year!

It's been a little while since I blogged but I'm back! I thought I'd show you how our house is coming along.

 OUR MASTER BEDROOM - we have finally finished the decorating and I now just need to choose a new bed!

OUR GUEST BEDROOM - another room in need of a new bed, lamp, light, a few cushions...the list is endless! I am really happy with the colour and wallpaper though! We have also ordered some shutters from The New England Shutter Company which arrive next week. I can't wait! I really should have ironed the duvet cover before getting happy snappy! Sorry!

Cottage time

Once upon a time...

We spent an amazing Christmas in LA. For 3 glorious weeks we relaxed in an amazing craftsman cottage between Venice Beach and Abbot Kinney Blvd...great location!

It was such a cute little house with an amazing under cover seating area - perfect for watching the world go by!

We ventured out and found a Christmas tree to add a little festive touch to the house! I made some paper chains too.

I loved the dining table made from a Cedar Slab. 

The pizza from Abbott's Pizza Company is highly recommended. They do a yummy salad pizza!

While we were in LA we also drove out into Malibu to El Matador Beach,

where 6 months earlier this had happened...

I love California. I love LA. I love Venice Beach and I loved our stay in the little craftsman cottage.

Oh, and I love watching my husband be hunky and strong on the play area in Santa Monica...

HAPPY TIMES!

Cozy Bedrooms

Winter is beginning to set in. We woke up to our first frost this morning. Our bedroom is still a long way from being finished...we have no blinds or curtains even. Wouldn't it be great to just snuggle into bed in one of the bedrooms below? They all look so cozy, warm and inviting!

A new rug (or two)

Our Guest Room is coming along...it is getting to the fun part of adding the finishing touches. I love the rug below from Graham and Green.

I think that one at either side of the bed in our spare room would really help to make the painted floor boards feel a little more cozy!

A Beautiful Country Home

Just a couple of villages away from us sits this beautiful country home with a price tag of £2,250,000...it's nice to dream! The drawing room looks elegant yet cozy and warm, I love the formal garden and just imagine having a guest house in your grounds. AMAZING! The only thing I'm not so sure about is the kitchen. It is a little bit modern for me, although I do love the Aga.

Here are the agents details.
