About This Blog

This blog is dedicated to sourcing, enjoying, storing and using all the tidbits of inspiration I can find on the internet that are relevent to our exciting 2011 project of renovating and extending an old cottage in Warwickshire, UK. We never, ever expected to be doing a complete renovation on a cottage that has had NOTHING done to it since the 60's. It is totally out of character to us we are both utterly lacking in the DIY department but fate has played a hand and brought us to this place, I have no doubt about that. I am a children's portrait photographer and plan to create a beautiful outdoor portrait studio in the old, Victorian orchard and wildflower meadow. I have a copy of a photo taken approximately 100 years ago of children playing in the fields here and for me to carry on that tradition and for us as a family to breathe life back in to the place, well, it means the world to me.

Colour Palette

As this blog is a means of inspiring me for all things house related, interiors etc I am putting together some colour palettes. This colour, not sure what you would call it.. watermelon? peach red? has been a favorite of mine and I think would look fabulous as an interior accent, with grey perhaps.



Alongside a darker, more cranberry red it is gorgeous. I have wanted a lipstick in this colour for ages.
