A gorgeous little Antique (Vintage) shop in Sidmouth. I highly recommend but can’t remember it’s name!
The fake book case in Killerton House library. You wouldn’t know it till you got right up close and read the titles on the fake books
So what do I do to relax once all my jobs are done on a Sunday morning? Well while awaiting my washing machine delivery I am to be found snuggled up on the sofa with a homemade cap’ and a warm honey and oatmeal muffin ( fresh out of the oven ) listening to my classic fm relax cd and reading my boyfriend’s manuscript. Happy times.
The other side of the room, my relaxation station :)
Finally succeeded in minimising the bedroom. Don’t have a before photo I’m afraid, but certainly didn’t look this good!
Everything I dream of, in one photo.

Today I harvested my onions and decided to plait them, like they do in France, this is primarily because the things need to dry out before they are edible (who would have thought there was a *reason* for making them nice and pretty).
Declutter: a quick guide
I absolutely love walking into a room that’s completely free of clutter; It’s peaceful and beautiful. With just a few simple elements, a room can look great, and put your mind at ease. Having clutter in your home means higher stress levels and less focus, while having no clutter means less stress and a clear mind. Continue reading on my main blog…

Chatelaine: Clean Your House in 10 Minutes
That AMAZING feeling you get when you clean your work space…
“Dust if you must, but wouldn’t it be better
To paint a picture or write a letter,
Bake a cake or plant a seed.
Ponder the difference between want and need.Dust if you must, but there’s not much time,
With rivers to swim and mountains to climb,
Music to hear and books to read,
Friends to cherish and life to lead.Dust if you must, but the world’s out there
With the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair,
A flutter of snow, a shower of rain.
This day will not come around again.Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
Old age will come and it’s not kind.
And when you go and go you must,
You, yourself, will make more dust. “
A little poem about dusting. by Rose Milligan
It sounds stupidly obvious, but it’s amazing how much unneccesary stuff we let into our lives because we think we have to.

In Life #4: Bomb Site
A while ago I began simplifying my stuff. I won’t ever be a perfect minimalist, after all these are my kitchen cupboards…
Adorned with what I like to call “designer clutter” - they are nice an tidy inside though.
I do like a tidy house. My motto for the day today is “Whatever surrounds us gives us clues to our inner state.” Well if that’s the case my inner state is 20% Bomb site both phsyically (my bedroom) and virtually (my inbox).
Today will both get a good clean down, and I shall tumble some ‘tidy space, tidy mind’ related posts. Enjoy
