A little bit of home....

I'm a newbie to Instagram thanks to my children - all summer they were taking photos and uploading them for their friends to see.... naturally I wanted to be part of it too. So I now have an Instagram account under the name violetroselondon and boy is it fun AND time consuming!!

So before we left Norfolk to head back to Riyadh I took some interior shots of our house and popped them on Instagram - I have since had a few comments and queries about doing another series of interior styling shots ...I will get around to it but for now here's a little bit of shabby chic in Norfolk by the sea!

Enjoy!



Some Miu Miu protected under a glass cloche with +J.Crew gorgeous necklaces on display...





               Dried Blue Hydrangeas from the garden displayed in glass vases throughout the house




          My fave room in the house with a big old bath and silver oriental wallpaper with lots of white            and plantation shutters to add some warmth...





Sea shells feature a lot in our home - most collected by the children over the years but some hand me downs through the family including this one found by my late grandfather decades ago...





When we first bought our home in Norfolk we found a brilliant antique buyer and have several really loved pieces from her travels ( including the armoire above). Have a look at her finds here




Through the house the walls have been painted either bright white of pale grey everything looks great against these colours and if you paint the woodwork white next to the greys it really 'pops'










   A vintage find can be revitalised with some cut glass knobs or handles - a simple effective make over!



I like a little bit of humour in our home....



Baby's first shoes are kept safe and dust free under a cloche...





Collections of shells and beach stones lovingly carried home by the little people years ago are everywhere ...



               Happy memories of Summer and the bushes of scented Lavender under the windows....
