Home & Colonial

Second floor of Home & Colonial Berkhamsted my favourite hangout in town

Home & Colonial

Home & Colonial in Berkhamsted
Glittering antiques ahoy!
The simplest of objects can be transformed into superstars by the correct lights
here I used natural - gray & British - light to bounce the opaque shine of these antique Czech & French pastry molds.
They make the most inspiring props, their designs are perfect for Scandinavian style Christmas decor or they may just be used as pastry molds as Nature intended!!

One of these days I will move to Provence

The Decorative Fair in Battersea London is one of my biggest sources of inspiration, and every visit confirms my natural attraction to the pale textures of sunny Rustic Southern Europe. A particular favourite is Fontaine from Margate and Alex McArthur from Brighton.
cannot wait for next one in Easter

Just found these most wonderful shabby collection of early 20c Christmas trees candle holders
their faded glory takes me right back to a box of Christmas decorations we had stored under the stairs of my granny's house.
As decorative objects they are very effective as they add color accent to a wintery dark scheme with their gentle red and blue shinny surfaces. I wouldn't attach them to a Christmas tree as they were intended in fact I use them to clip all my bits of paper and hang them to a hook on my studio wall
