Sunshine....x

I've mentioned it before that I get drawn to one certain colour every so often.  It's nearly the end of January and we've all seen toooo much red and green over the last couple of months,  so I suppose it is an obvious choice that it's YELLOW that's calling me into spring and new beginnings.....Don't you always find yourself buying daffodils straight after Christmas?

To be honest I find yellow a tricky colour for interiors because although it can be beautifully bright and bold, I find I need to be very thoughtful about the colours I have along aside it....But I do love it,  it's warm and cheerful and happy and basically brings out the child in us.
 It reminds me of longer, warmer days, sunlit mornings and amber evening skies........Ahhhh yes..Bring them on! x

Comfortably warm.....x

In these oh so cold months it's the best feeling to find a beautiful, soft blanket/duvet and snuggle up underneath it with a large mug of tea and hibernate a little!

These last 3 photos are taken from a lovely website we found, Jane Beck Welsh Blankets.... we  love her beautiful, new but very retro style blankets, ponchos and photos etc.  x

It's been so beautiful in London,  the snow makes everything bright, gentle and muted...a stillness happens that we don't get often in this city.  Hope you all had as much fun as we did....x

Is there a difference?

The worn wooden planks look...

The loft apartment look.....

The forest look....

The mountains look.....

The Hilda Ogden's living room look....

So the newest most fashionable (and rather expensive) wallpaper in all it's new glory....or is it? x

Hydrangea love...

Tis the season of the Hydrangea.

When I see them my first thought is..'granny'...which I love!  My second thought is how amazing they are that they change colour,  often all by themselves...a big ball of flowers that drift through a wardrobe of dreamlike pigments,  what's not to love?  and then, when they have been cut and dried,  they take on an especially beautifully faded, romantic feel...

I read somewhere that they are Madonna's least favourite flower...well,  I think she is missing something special.  x

Our Summer...

We have had a busy Dandelion Summer and these are some pics of the work we did refurbishing an attic flat in Hampstead London.
 The space had some furniture left that we needed to incorporate into our design but the kitchen and bathroom had to be completely refurbished....Many of the hottest days of this Summer where spent climbing the many, many winding stairs,  sweating and covered in sawdust and paint up here!  x

Many moons ago......

Once upon a time I was part of this band.  Moons have passed and other lives have begun since then but happily one of of my closest friends is still creating beautiful music in this ever changing group of women.  They are called the Mediaeval Baebes and this is a sneak preview of one of the most recent stylings from the Dandelion House, along with another dear friend and ex band member Nicole Frobusch.  The shoot is for their soon to be released album The Huntress. x
