Living room updates for the change of season.

I feel a change coming on in the living room after a recent visit to Guernsey and a chance to check out one of my favourite shops, Indica, which has seduced me many times before and have written about here in a  previous blog post.

While on a recent stay to see my daughter I popped into Indica and found some lovely cushions by one of my favourite online Danish Lifestyle stores Time K Home, the products are  a mixture of bohemian living, and elegant simplicity, inspired by travel and nature, I haven't seen any Tine K products sold at home, so was really pleased to have found this cushion while Island Hopping!

Technically my Daughter is doing the expanding,  yes there is a baby on the way, and I am going to be (and I hate to use this word because I'm far too young) a grandma!   I have decided that I am not going with the conventional name of Nanny or Grandma, but have chosen the much nicer title of MeMe.   A bit of a French influence and American I think, but so much nicer than grandma.

Sunday Styling.

 Photography and styling Samantha Stansbridge

I bought this little white table ages ago for a tenner  from a hairdresser in town who had advertised it on a Facebook selling page, a scented oil burner had sat dripping its contents onto the table acting like paint stripper, and had left a huge round mark on it, and it has been sitting in the living room ever since with a strategically placed flowerpot on it, up until now that is, I finally got around to sanding it off (actually, I left the sanding to my dad who has a workshop full of  industrial-size power tools and could do it in a fraction of the time it would have taken me do) and giving it a repaint with some Farrow and Ball All white Eggshell paint.  This just left me the job of playing Sunday afternoon stylist while dinner cooked! 

Slow Sunday

Slow Sunday, going back over photos of my ever changing wall in the living room, see more on Instagram.   oh yes and it makes for a slightly random place to hang my fav tulle skirt
