a very chic shack....x

a holiday might not be on the cards this year, with car, bathroom & garden purchases, but if it was, and the weather in the uk turned just a little bit warmer, this *shack* would be high on the list....

{via vintage vacations}

don't you just love the mirrors, and the armchairs, and the bedspread, oh and the union flag curtains......

idea for holiday #4

sorry
i still can't get the idea of a holiday out of my mind
i love my work, but sometimes feel i havn't a single creative idea left to put down on paper
(which isn't a particularly good thing for someone who heads up a design team)

so how about getting away from it all, in a place surrounded by colour, texture and pattern
this beautiful caravan is found on the south coast of france, in what looks like beautiful woodland, and it looks the kind of place where the sun would shine all day long

how cute is this kitchen area?

hope your week is off to a lovely start
