British Whimsy

There is something so cheerful about 

London

The colours seem brighter

and the whimsical views are everywhere.

I love all things Victorian.

 I love all things that are respected memories of a glorious past that live on and inspire the present.

A touch and more of Greek inspiration for glory.

Where I received my degree from the hands of Princess Royal

I love this room. Modern cozy.

Picture perfect.

Sweet delight!

New and exciting Atlanta Bartlett

Her mother is one of my style gurus. The daughter is the High Priestess of All White. The author of wonderful books that defined the trends: The Relaxed Home,At Home With White and Easy Elegance: Creating a Relaxed, Comfortable and Stylish Home.

Atlanta Bartlett's new brain child is Pale and Interesting which in a rather prosaic way, perfectly describes Atlanta Bartlett's lifestyle choices.

Pale and Interesting is a life-style shopping experience that brings to your own home everything that you have ever drooled over in Ms.Bartlett's books. Inside the site you will find furniture, accessories, jewellery and books all chosen or designed by Atlanta and housband Dave, inspired by their love of the functional, beautiful and out-of-the-ordinary.

There is also LookBook, Pale and Interesting’s own mini magazine, full of gorgeous photography and hints and tips about how to make this look work for you at home.

And now, if you'd excuse me, I am going to leaf through her books once again, and maybe post about my favorite rooms. Do you have a favorite picture that you secretely look at and daydream about? Tell! Tell!
