Plant of the Moment, the Sophora, and a charity shop find.


I've only ever seen these dainty little plants on the internet, that is until this week when I happened to spy one in my local Garden Centre, Ransoms, and seeing it up close in  its perfectly petite form did not disappoint, though I'm not sure what I loved the most, the packaging it came in or the plant its self! So I decided to keep the little brown paper bag as well.




I also found this lovely wicker/grass tray in a local Hospice charity shop which seems to be the perfect partner for the Sophora plant.  A quick tip for bringing a tray like this back to life is to spray liberally with some furniture polish, then use a soft bristle paint brush to get in between all the gaps getting rid of dust and debris, and it will come up as good as new. 👍 (I just discovered blogger has recently added emoji thingies too)






Styling tip, add trees to you interior.

My latest interiors obsession is large plants/trees for indoors. 

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!


A Bit of Cushion Plumping...





If you follow my Instagram feed you might know that I recently shared a giveaway by illustrator Abi Overland to win one of her grey piped Neverland Cushion Covers from her new collection and guess what?! I entered and won!  I'm a bit of a fan of Abi's work, I already own one of her prints, and she was also guest a while ago here on the blog, I highly recommend you take a look at her work, I think she has some new project in the pipeline, so definitely one to watch.

My Nephew is in the process  of  selling a one bedroom  basement flat,  which is currently being advertised   with a local estate agent here, (it's been on with a previous agent already with no luck) it is a perfectly good little flat,  the problem in my mind is that the flat is being shown empty and is totally devoid of any features or personality, so as the interiors obsessed Aunt that I am, I have come up with some tips for styling a basement flat to sell.
