Renovated Spanish barn



Isn't it gorgeous? Very well converted into a house without losing many of the features that make it unique but at the same time making it practical and luminous. I'm loving all the lush vegetation, stone walls and floors and wooden beams. I also like the fact that the colour palette goes beyond white and earthy colours (seen too many times) to introduce a bit of lilac and red.

I don't seem to be able to stop wearing winter clothes! How about you? Are you wearing flip flops or being sensible (I swear I've seen people wearing flip flops in 12ºC)? I have refused to wear this coat anymore until at least October (I was gonna say November but then I realized I was being too possitive)! Will summer ever arrive? I am forgetting how it feels not to be cold...
Btw, I am planning to paint that boring mirror frame in the deep burgundy Brinjal from Farrow & Ball-just saying so you still believe in my skills as a designer :P 
I will let you know how it turns out! ha, it could be very messy...

scarf and bag- stolen from my mum (with her permission, of course)

Wedding Day







These are photographs I took at a friends' wedding day near Reading. James and I had a lovely time and the wedding was beautiful, but it was a bit chilly! This was back in April so the weather wasn't really spring-like yet (this winter didn't seem to end...).
The wedding theme was tea (and tea pots and tea cups were to be found everywhere) - we even got to play mixing different tea leaves to create our bespoke tea bag!
I was wearing a dress from Anthropologie and ballet flats from Pretty Ballerinas - a bit of a shame that I don't have a picture of the full outfit as it was too cold outside to take my coat off and I forgot to take one while inside the barn!
