Toot Toot! Car Boot!

After 'virtually' flicking through the latest issue of Heart Home Mag - which, incidentally, is absolutely beautiful - we were happily reminded just how much we love our beloved car boots...and how we miss them during these chilly winter months! We're huge fans of sprucing up old furniture, trinkets and treasures and giving them a new lease of life....

Click on any of the images below and prepare to be transported into a whole world of wonder!

An eclectic mix of frames and ornaments makes a feature of any wall....

...and save some pennies during the financial struggle - who needs carpet anyway!?...

Choosing one block colour against shape and pattern allows you to showcase all your favourite pieces without creating clutter...

A tired looking chest tells a thousand stories....

 One piece of distressed furniture placed cleverly in a room will add character and can be teamed with more modern pieces to add a contemporary twist.

Make a feature of something you love...you'll see it everyday and it will bring a smile...

Hurry up summer...we've got houses to fill!!...

Style It Up...

We spent our morning getting in to the Christmas spirit and doing what we love most - styling....!! A lovely little job for a local little boutique in need of a bit of a style injection for their Christmas brochure.....

Baubles not to be consumed....

Antique Chic!

We've hand picked our fave antique glass Christmas accessories. We love the way these little beauties reflect light and add that beautiful christmas sparkle to any room. All styles work together to give candlelight at different levels, and create an eclectic look of treasures collected over time....

Divine Inspiration

The lovely Red Lilly have wowed us this Christmas with their beautiful festive finds. It's actually rather difficult to pick out our faves - it's a hard life! 


Their gorgeous cut metal Daya Lanterns have caught our eyes. Such a lovely addition as a distressed centrepiece on your Christmas table...

...and we're loving a bit of a 'Maroq' twist with their beautiful light garland....!!

Who says Christmas has to be so 'traditional'!....

Eye Poetry...

We recently came across the amazingly talented photographer Irene Suchocki after catching a little glimpse of these stunning pics. If these don't make you want to scream CHRISTMAS at the top of your voice, then nothing will.

Just beautiful...

Check out her blog Eye Poetry for more gorgeous pics taken from around the world...

Starry Starry Night....

We're loving these gorgeous Tin Stars by Retrophenia. Lovingly hand crafted by the Amish community using reclaimed metal roof tiles and hand painted to give a distressed, rustic feel.


Great hanging on invisible wire in your window or happily sat on your mantlepiece....

Get yours here!

If you say so....

No one enjoys the washing up....so why not make it slightly more exciting with an uplifting tea towel from notonthehightstreet. Whatever the tea towel says, goes!

Plenty more where this came from.....check out Keep Calm Gallery.
