The Library








This post is for all my all librarian friends (you know who you are) and arose out of two seemingly disparate events which occurred on the same day earlier this week - seeing the film 'Atonement' and researching a trip to Thailand. The film's library scene, top image, prompted me to muse on how much I love libraries. Lo and behold, later that day, I found a resort on the internet at Koh Samui, Thailand, called The Library, which has sculptures of reading figures dotted around the grounds, and a restaurant called The Page (second two images). I do think a ladder should be an essential ingredient in a library, so the next two images, from Domicilium Decoratus and Elle Decoration January 2008 edition, illustrate this perfectly. Below this is possibly my favourite library image from my most favourite house in the world - Janet de Botton's house in Provence, from Vogue Living: Houses, Gardens People. The bottom image, also from January Elle Decoration, combines two of my favourite things - books and plates on shelves.

Kitchens - Black or White?









This post is for my sister, Kate, who is about to embark on a kitchen renovation. While my preference was always for a white kitchen, preferably exactly like the one from 'Something's Gotta Give', I have lately been swayed by beautiful black kitchens. So, I'm offering Kate a comparison. It's an unenviable decision, isn't it? The top two images are of the aforementioned 'Something's Gotta Give' kitchen and dining room, care of the amazing blog Cote de Texas. The bottom two are of Gwyneth Paltrow's Hamptons house via House and Garden, and the three above those are of Kelly Wearstler's kitchen in Domicilium Decoratus. Good luck, Kate!

Mismatched China



Another look that I want for the boatshed is to hang mismatched china together on a wall. I have previously included photographs of this look, but here are some more from Absolutely Beautiful Things.

More Neutrals




Two more rooms from Marie-Claire via Absolutely Beautiful Things which use neutral tones. While I do like a splash of pink or blue, I can't help being drawn to white, black and grey. On the weekend, I was drooling over Kelly Wearstler's and Gwyneth Paltrow's black kitchens.
