My Home

This is definitely my kind of interior.

I found this house today whilst searching for a way to improve my house.  It belonged to Nancy Fishelson, she is a restorer of houses, and is amazing at turning an old house, sympathetically, into a comfortable modern home. The house is a 1795 clapboard house on 20 acres in Woodbury, Connecticut, New England. This is the house in it's original form.

Cushions, how many do you have?

I am a self confessed cushion collector, in my opinion you just cant have enough! Every chair needs one, all beds need as many as you can possibly stack onto them, and the Sofa well, do you really need to sit on it? My favourites come from LexingtonH&M home, Shops in New EnglandWarren KimbleBetsy Jarvis, The Country Carriage and me.

This Weekend

It's been cold but no snow! A visit to Wickham Mill provided a nice old shaker stool to paint, and  J'adore la maison and Tom supplied some Chalk Board paint, the Chalk board is now up and running if not a little empty at the moment, thank go to you both, I wasn't sure about it but now love it, I'm sure it will make very interesting reading over the coming months!

Do you like Sculpture's?

A trip to a sculpture park makes a great day out and gives lots of photo opportunities. Some of my favourite places to visit are the Cass sculpture parkBroomhill sculpture park,Hannah Peschar,The Sculpture Park in Surrey,  Fresh air sculpture in Glos. Anywhere that Phillip Jackson is exhibiting, and anything that my son Sam has sculpted,the paper boots are his work.

Resting?

Have you been resting today before getting back to normal?

I considered taking down the decorations but couldn't face it, I may regret this!

We had an exploding chestnut, it's amazing how far a single chestnut can spread, and it's quite funny really once you have gotten over the shock of not actually being shot by a gunman in your house!
