Voyage, Voyage

We'll be on our way to The Alps in a few hours and I can't wait. I don't think that I'll be posting much over the next few days so I hope you all have a good week.

I'd like to leave you with these beautiful photos by Sarah Bridgland. I've been following her blog and Flickr streams for a while now (she was actually one of the first artists I wrote about on K&C) and particularly enjoy her travel photos. Sarah is working on some new wooden collages, which I love and find very inspiring.

Open your eyes and look around - colours, shapes and textures everywhere.

C'est la vie, and it's here and now.

Bonne semaine et à bientôt !

Bruna with a difference

I'm always looking out for new, unusual things for our home, it's quite an obsession. We moved from Montpellier to the countryside last summer, in search of a more relaxed lifestyle and a bigger garden for the kids. We found both and have now started to renovate and "relook" (as the French say) our house, using shades of white and grey, with different materials and textures such as tadelakt, cement and wood (sounds nicer than it actually is at the moment as we're doing this ourselves with three kids but we're getting there...). Against this backdrop I like splashes of colour and if we didn't already have walls, cupboards and shelves full of prints, cards, books and vintage toys I would have chosen these three Bruna books to decorate Savannah and Miles's bedroom, along with the sweet birdie board. They're fun, bright and different.
I love Present and Correct's stuff. If you haven't had chance to read Neil Whittington's guest blog over at Design* Sponge take a peek. I really enjoyed his piece on Sarah Bridgland's exhibition. Her work would definitely appeal to my eldest, very talented, son Dylan (more of which later!)
