BRINGING THE OUTSIDE IN....

Good morning!
I hope this sunny Thursday finds you all well?
A quick post today, as I am running around doing various errands, working through a long list! 
I just wanted to share with you some pictures of the kitchen and dining-room, where I have recently enjoyed bringing the outside in......




We are only a twenty minute drive from the beautiful medieval town of Rye, close to the coast.
Each week they hold a large market.  Ignoring the inevitable 'tack' I usually come away with a basket full to the brim with fruit and vegetables, and flowers and trays of plants....all at wonderful knock down prices!  The other week I came away with a huge tray of white Geraniums to plant up outside in planters on our deck, but had so many that I couldn't resist bringing some inside to enjoy.

The same with the beautiful French Lavender plants I bought at a recent plant sale.....one on the floor of the dining-room, and one on my kitchen island.....now being enjoyed inside for a little while, before they show signs of wanting to be planted in the garden.








Two of my favourite summer plants.....to enjoy inside and out......

Wishing you a happy and 'fragrant' Thursday!

  5. Hi, Sophia ~
    Your conservatory dining room is really beautiful and fresh. As is your collection of painted furniture. I can see we both share a passion for light surfaces.
    Have a lovely week!
