Happy Weekend: Decorating With Pastels

Kitchen by John Lewis of Hungerford | Magazine tear sheets from Sweet Paul
Oh yeah! What's that you spy? Only the freakin' weekend! After a busy week packed with meetings and events in the city, I'm dreaming of a weekend filled with the simple things life can offer. I'd be very happy to start my day in this colourful country kitchen, coffee brewing and a leisurely breakfast enjoyed to the sound of birds tweeting as a light spring breeze fills the space. That would be kinda alright, wouldn't it?! Anyway, back to reality...! As pastels are proving popular both on and off the catwalk, I decided to whip together some inspiration on how to decorate with delicate hues for my latest feature inside Sweet Paul magazine. You can head here to read it in full if you like. I hope you have fun plans for the next few days, friends? Make it a good one!

  10. I never really think about using pastels because I'm so obsessed with bright colors, but the palette in that room is stunning! Simple, rustic, inviting. (P.S. Holly from decor8 introduced me to your blog and I'm so glad she did! I love everything about it!)

  14. I love this combination, it's bright but soft. I need to 'brighten-up' a bit more.
    Enjoy the weekend.
