I'm dreaming of a White Christmas...

Hello!

I’m on holiday…..at last and I am really starting to feel the Christmas spirit!  Our Christmas tree is up, Luke’s gorgeous handmade wreath is on the door, Jamie’s Christmas decorations are up and my gift shopping is well on it’s way.

Every year I leave the decorating of the tree up to Ronnie and the boys.  And every year they do an excellent job of it!  But every year I vow to try something other than red and gold!  But come time for the tree to go up and be decorated, I am so not organised enough to change that look, so red and gold it is this Christmas, yet again!

But a girl can dream, can’t she!  I have so many ideas on how and what I would do – the choices are endless – pink and purple, turquoise and silver, black and white but one I would really like to go for is ALL WHITE!  If you can’t have the snow, you can certainly have the décor!

I just love the pics I’ve found that have inspired me….my white Christmas is not so far away….

Getting to know me...part two!

Hello again!

I know it’s been a while since my first blog but it’s been a hectic week or two! 

I guess it’s just that time of the year!

As you get to know me, you will realise I am VERY into décor…French countryside shabby chic type décor, to be exact.  I love the worn out, country style look.

The florals, stripes, polka dots and faded fabrics.  The roses, the lavenders and pretty florals.  The old furniture, painted to death by many layers of interesting colours. 

The photo frames, made from old skirting boards and too, layered by years of paint.  And last but not least….a bit of bling, a bit of silver, gold and a

chandelier or two!

I consider myself a closet interior decorator….I have just never gotten round to any formal training…..in fact never gotten round to any decorating apart from my own home, I guess! I love, love, love interiors and that is partly what this blog is all about – for me to express my love for decorating….amongst other things too!

(I’m a closet photographer too…but more about that later!)

I buy the magazines, I surf the internet, I watch the Home Channel and am truly inspired!  I am forever busy with something in my home, but never have enough time to get to do it all!  Sigh…one day!

Well now you know a little more about me….will blog again soon!

Bye for now,

Mandi xx
