'Hello everybody from sunny London! We’re so glad to be back here after five long years, our first trip back since we relocated to India. Right now the sun has been out everyday and while it is still a little chilly, the weather could not have been lovelier.   This is our first trip with our four year old and we’re doing the rounds of dinosaurs, parks and zoos. And of course, MAJOR plans to visit Thomas the Tank Engine as well! We’re renting a house for our little stay and (...)'

Love…Painted Trunks

Author : Miss Frangipani      Blog : Frangipani Décor      Date : 4/1/2013 6:39:00 AM

'I spotted this house over on 79ideas and was instantly smitten.Interior designer Rose Uniacke calls this amazing space home and the reason it appealed to me so much because I can see our own 200-year old home looking like this with a little (lot) TLC and a huge injection of cash (of course). A dash of turmeric yellow against a white palette with generous touches of black and an accent colour like baby pink – this would be a refreshing colour scheme for our living room.
