Hello and welcome back readers! I’m sorry I haven’t been around for a few weeks I have started a new job so was giving myself time to settle in properly and also had to organise a conference in London so was busy, busy, busy!
I’d like to get started with a trip to the country. I had a wonderful weekend away with three of my closest girl friends and Laura’s two dogs to a cottage on the coast in Dorset. It was a truly lovely weekend with trips to the stunning Durdle Dore, Lulworth Cove, quaint tea rooms and lots of game playing plus a scary incident with an angry farmer after a few rather loud hours of us playing SingStar Rocks!
It was lovely to get out of town and I was inspired to post a few of my favourite country interior pics. I am currently reading ‘Thrifty Chic‘ by Liz Bauwens and Alexandra Campbell which is packed full of inspiring ideas about reusing, restoring and reviving objects many of which apply perfectly to a country style theme.
Images are by Simon Brown who is just amazing.

A staple for every country kitchen is a table to gather round. This is simple, inexpensive and beautiful

I love the use of colour and the mirror over the fireplace which brings ultimate chic to this simple kitchen.
