tuesday treasures

I have just discovered Tiffany Mitchell, an illustrator based in Lexington, Kentucky. These illustrations are gorgeous - what a talented lady! I want all three to display on my wall. You can purchase them from http://shopruche.com - these are definitely going on my wish list.

Sorry for the absence from my blog - things have been a little hectic lately. I wanted to share some of my latest work for Ideal Home magazine with you. Quite a variety of colours and styles - even managed to squeeze in some of my photographs from my year away travelling!

write a note.

These days all I seem to get in the post are bills! Wouldn't it be nice to receive a letter.. far better than an email. I've found these beautiful cards by Michoucas Design which I would love to receive! I would even probably frame it! Check out the website for more designs.

coastal living.

I am working on my next coastal shoot and thought I would share some of my inspiration. I am getting very jealous of all these beautiful homes in the sun! I love the anchor wallpaper and rope accessories.

a room for a little one.

A friend of mine has asked for some help in decorating their kids bedroom. I think the key to a well decorated childs bedroom is making sure it is bright and cheery with an element of surprise. This half moon wallpaper would work well as a backdrop to then layer on some colourful accessories. Painted furniture and colourful pictures would sit nicely in front of this monochrome paper. Here are a few other pictures for inspiration.

baked by the sea.

Just recently I did a shoot for a new cake and scone company based in Hastings. It was a great day shooting with photographer Neal Grundy - we got some lovely shots and ate some delicious cakes!

christmas dining.

I thought I would share my latest shoot for Ideal Home which is on the shelves now… I really enjoyed designing this room set as I have a soft spot for grey! Hope you like it.

christmas pressie.

I've been trying to find a personalised gift for my nephew for a while now and I have just discovered these gorgeous building blocks which fit the brief perfectly!

new wallpaper.

Check out the new wallpaper collection by Linwood - I love the designs and the styling in these shots. It must have been hard to resist grabbing a sneaky chip!
