Tiles, tiles & more tiles

Whilst looking for colour inspiration for some tiles for the courtyard here are a few images I came across

& as usual overwhelmed by choice, can we live with lots of colour without getting bored of it ? or is neutral too safe and boring .....

 I could live with a ceiling like this so guess the answer is go for colour

Getting creative now the workroom is clean !

So I had this frame hanging around collecting the dust, with a view to putting in some photographs in, but then a happy thought popped into my head.....







a few days later .....

the big clean up

we have a floor which was covered in a yellowing varnish, we scrubbed, polished and mopped endlessly but it still stayed yellow, the only way to bring it back to white was to use a stone grinder, this created an unbelievable amount of dust...

it was like living in a snow globe for 3 days , but not pretty !

I will post some images of the result later when its ready, but firstly got the workroom cleaned up so some creating could begin.

I love a picnic

What a way to spend an afternoon I took my book to read but the view was so fabulous we were happy with hours of watching the sun sparkle on the sea, finished with a cold beer and steak sandwich .... BLISS

Boxing day sunshine

The weather has been so wonderful after a lazy Christmas day a walk on the beach was an inspiration.
