Inspiration from interiors

I’ve just spent the evening thumbing through this amazing new book called ‘The Way We Live With The Things We Love’ from Thames & Hudson. The publisher have brought out some amazing books on style from around the world, and this is no exception. Every page is crammed with glossy photographs of rooms full of eccentric bric-a-brac, rustic ornaments, beautiful old-fashioned pictures, art, funky furniture and quirky antiques. I especially like the little flea market finds from various parts of Europe - amazing objects that are totally unique. Only problem is, I won’t find any of this on the high street so I’ll have to keep searching the flea markets and hope I can find my own little treasures!
Your wedding. Your photos. Your book!

I remember my first wedding fayre when I saw these wedding annuals. I thought it was so amazing I knew this was what we wanted and would work perfectly for us. My wonderful dad put one together for us as a surprise when we came back from our honeymoon so as you can imagine I was absolutely thrilled. It has a prime spot in my lounge so all my friends can see it anytime! It seems to be pretty popular now to have one of these and I highly recommend it.
The Vintage Home Book. I’m so inspired!

This is a book my best friend Julie bought me for my birthday last week. I absolutely love it and it’s so me!
It’s basically all about vintage finds, designs, furniture, houses, rooms and all that jazz and it’s given me so many ideas, both for my home and for our invitations. Look out for some new card designs inspired by Judith Wilson’s lovely book.
