i really just want to be feeling pretty and doing beautiful things.

but alas, instead i am snowed under with work,

snowed under with homework,

and feeling rather sluggish and unmotivated!

but enjoy the photos?

"I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance
and then she obliged me
Was I surprised, yeah
Was I surprised, no not at all"

rustic french soul

from the first picture, how amazing is this house! check out the floorboards. so shabby!

hello birdcage light. i think i need to fashion myself one of those! and the cute little stall bt the heater.

i actually just cant get enough of all of the unpolished wood, the rough bricks and the white and brightness. it just feels so natural. and its given life by the odd hints of colour, like the flowers above the fireplace.

the house just seems to have such character. i looks to me like love has been there, and stories have been made. such old charm, and rustic beauty.

my house will be muchos like this! with some of my other influences too :)

this rustic french house can be stayed at, i think i need to go there! it is owned by an antiques dealer so imagine all the pretty things in there that havent even been photographed!

enjoy.

i found this house on sweet as a candy, who found it here

what do you think of this house?

and whats your decorating style?

my lovely friends. posting is hard for me at the moment because my computer has so little memory that its hardly opening pages and freaks out when i try to upload photos! its only working today because i deleted some music! but no doubt the computer will eat that memory up too :( hopefully ill be able to get my new computer soon. this is just no fun! and i want to show you all of my pretty finds.

my blog seems to be on a standstill though. slow profile views and no new followers in a while. i hope things pick up soon! with a new computer hopefully i can try and make things a lot better. my camera is full of photos that i cant upload onto the computer because its dying!

hope everyone is lovely.

this is my favourite beach, henley.
