Love your cupboards. And I like your fake lavendar LOL I have a fake sage plant I found. Don`t have nice big windows and there`s only one little window facing where plants seem to really thrive. I keep trying though :)

Love the porcelain lamp, and the green of the dresser is fab. More lovely pics please!

Unfinished jobs are my speciality! Note the unpainted panels behind the bathroom basin, only one of many things to complete around this house!

I love your gorgeous lamp and your chandaliers are so pretty in the last post too!

Your lavender looks quite realistic. What you need is a drop or two of lavender oil and no-one will know the difference!

I wish I'd seen the doors you have turned into mirrors before, I saw a pair of old glazed french doors at a flea market recently and I just could not think what I could do with them...Im so cross with myself, What a fab idea!!
Gorgeous pics as ever Sophie...

It's always nice to hear of someone else with a rather extreme love of light fixtures.lol My husband thinks I'm odd...I can't seem to go anywhere without looking for lamps and lights for sale. I think we've changed out every light in the house since we moved in two years ago, except the garage, the entry way and the upstairs hallway (that's my NEXT target - but don't tell my husband!). I've never seen a pulley-wheel light before, though. I'm fascinated!

Sophie,
I love that lamp with the edging, it's really pretty.
I have a small chandelier over my kitchen sink. I think your conservatory is great!!!
Hope you had a nice weekend.

This is a perfect place to sit for a cup of tea. I'm glad to see you've finally had some sunshine!

Your conservatory is just gorgeous! Love the french lamp with the fluted pie crust edge. I never would have known your lavender plants were fake :-} they look fab.

Hi Sophie,
Love, love, love your conservatory! I am also thrilled that I can now blame my lack of follow-through on my star sign! I had never heard that about Sagitarrians before! I have lots and lots of idea and good intentions but never seem to get tasks completed...

Raindrops said...

As always you do post a lovely picture LOL. Lavender seems to be a theme we are taking about at the moment. Love the lamp.Tricia

That conservatory is absolutely stunning, gorgeous. You have such a beautiful home!
