Many of you know that books are one of my all time weaknesses... and with the imminent arrival of our 1st baby [Baby Verity] is drawing closer each day with approx. 2- 4.5 weeks to go - I am drawing on many avenues of Nursery/ Children's Room decorating inspiration and this fab new book from Susanna Salk 'Room For Children - Stylish Places for Sleep & Play' is no exception! If you loved Susanna's book 'A Privileged Life - Celebrating Wasp Style' [I bought it through Amazon & just fell in love with it - see my Palatial Reading List] then this new one from her, is definitely one to pre-order for your design library and with a special foreword by fashion decor stylista Kelly Wearstler - there's true design clout here! You can find Susanna's new book through this link on Amazon.com,
it's due for release on 20th April. I've added it to my 'Wish List' with a few more book treats to add - my order will processed very soon! x

Interview with My Home Ideas.

With St. Valentine's Day upon us - Sunday 14th February - I thought it would be lovely to share some 'Pink' inspired spaces with you... [St. Valentine's Day] Although traditionally viewed as an American celebration 'holiday', recently it has been embraced more & more and it is becoming increasingly popular through many other countries, such as Australia...
