About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Katoomba, NSW, Australia

here I am in a little cottage that evokes the energies of my ancestral lands - a cottage on the moors of Cornwall, or on the cliff tops of Ireland or Scotland. It has a hearth. I am a hedge witch {of sorts}. I wear upcycled clothes, patchouli oil and Redback boots. I am a gypsy; an eccentric and a mystic [I often live with a foot in two worlds]. I serve my guests, tea from an old silver teapot. I love Vervain, yarrow, chamomile & mint. Star watcher and Moon gazer. story cloth weaver. keeper of family dreams and wishes. good friend and creator of life. herbal tea drinker and potion maker.

Plan ahead and dream of all the beautiful things that life has to offer

a vintage *find*

oh, you will never believe what I just found in our local vintage junk shop - an old, worn & tattered, threadbare, overstuffed & comfortable chesterfield for $100!

I was browsing through an old Victoria magazine a few days ago

and saw this beautiful room !



I know I can't duplicate exactly * as I am a little more eclectic & out there than 'all white' ~ so I will put my style on it & hopefully come up with something similar * I am even thinking seriously of the potted palms, I just have to find myself a round coffee table and I have an old chimney pot in my garden.......

How fun...go for it! Looks like you've gotten the most important piece of furniture in the room. If you can't find a coffe table maybe a round kitchen table with the post shortened. If we ever get a new dining table, thats what I want to do, have my hubby cut the legs down to use as a coffe table. A few years ago we were in the Dr's. waiting room and she had this huge comfy leather sofa and baskets of magazines and lots of natural daylight. I wanted to make a room just like that...so bad. We did get a comfy leather couch and a basket of magazines. So I know just how you feel...I think..smile. I'll look forward to seeing what else you find and seeing pictures.

That Chesterfield looks so delightfully comfortable I'm falling asleep just thinking about it ...lol. I assume you bought it? Sounds like you've got a great project on your hands. Enjoy.

What a find Robyn! Darn, I just sold a gorgeous old European table similar to that one ... mind you, shipping would have been a nightmare. Love the look of that room ~ I love all my 'stuff' but don't you just have days when you just want it all out of the way (a momentary lapse?).
