You Don't Know What You've Got..

..til it's gone. It sounds as if many of you have been having blogger bother.  It's hard to imagine, isn't it? Fixing something as big as blogger?

Anyway, I got my walk by the sea at the weekend and I got some photos. Round here I play with colour all the time: I scrap with it, sew with it, use it round the house. When I'm at the seaside, I like things to be serene; and so my decorating goes like this:

The view from the back door - that's why I keep the rest of it light and bright

I'm really not good with plants, so I cheat. This is a (sshh! ) fake from Bloom Mail Order

Print and frame from Ikea. The boat was a gift. The painted chest of drawers is an old one from years ago. I paint lots of our old furniture in Antique Cream to freshen it up - I take my shade card to the Trade Cente and get them to mix up big tins of good quality eggshell.

Another Bloom plant and Ikea seaside print. The armchair came from a Homebase sale and the ticking curtains I made with factory shop fabric

Cream Captains's Light

Bedside table from Ikea, cushions from Cath Kidston, the swan is from a gift shop and the bedframe is painted taupe

And that's From High In The Sky - Seaside style.
