Inspiration: Tree By Stream










 I Love Art. Just can't get enough of it.
It's one of the things that makes me tick.
I can't imagine an artless life, or an artless blog for that matter.

I came across this special tree by a stream quite by chance.
And I like to sit and admire all the beauty.
It's so good, so simple.
The way I like it.

Blog Crush: Stylejuicer




 


  
If you follow me on pinterest (gosh over 128,000 of you do, that's amazing, thank you!) you'll have gathered that I love interior design and art. After almost 5 years online, I think I'm still often associated with vintage toy designs, understandably so, but my closer friends and loyal K&C followers also know that I love fashion, colour, patterns and textures, ... the list is long!

The online landscape has changed so much over the past 5 years, hasn't it? I admit that I now only read only a handful of very special blogs on a daily basis. Some are absolute favourites, authored by virtual kindred spirits, others entice me, surprise me, grow on me. 

I see hundreds of images everyday online but when I visit Annie Cruse's blog Stylejuicer, it always feels so fresh, crisp and new. Just what my e-doctor ordered - bliss! Whether sharing healthy recipes, curating a moodboard or writing about modern or vintage homes, Anne has a knack of making me see things in a different light. It's relaxing, inspiring, une valeur sûre.

Time to rethink K&C perhaps...

Peek-a-Boo!







Well hello!
I'm back after a wonderful weekend with friends and family.
We had two special birthdays last week, my youngest son's and my husband's, 
so double fête chez nous.
Luckily the weather has been glorious and I could almost ... almost have gone for a swim in the pool. Yep, it already feels like Summer's on it's way!

However, Easter first!
I thought we'd kick off this beautiful sunny week with something sweet.
I am absolutely smitten with this unusual bunny wallpaper from French brand Ados & Co / Elisabeth Leroy selling on etsy. Isn't it adorable? And the styling too - swoon!

Upbeat








Happy April 1st!

I love this time of year here.
We've been spending a lot of time outdoors in the garden and in the countryside. 
I suddenly feel very lucky and grateful for everything I have. 
All the little things, you know?

I hope you'll enjoy this small selection of Colour My Monday finds 
inspired by upbeat mood this evening.

Thank you:
