Frugal Luxuries...Found

i'm finding images of frugal luxury all over bloglandia these days...


pops of pretty pink...in a simple white room



an ordinary powder room is transformed into a jewel box with the simple additions of few special mirrors and fresh flowers from the garden...



cupboards brimming with lovely...useful...mismatched china...thrifted...of course



pretty vintage linens and fabric remnants...gently washed and hung to dry in the afternoon breeze...waiting to be folded and put away for future projects...



...perhaps to stock the Gift Pantry tm with pretty bags and aprons like these


...or pillows for bringing a bit of summer color to a simple white room?



Once these joyful tasks are finished it's time to create a relaxing spot for summer sleeps...outdoors...under sunlight...and starshine...

I discovered these lovely images on the enchanting blog of Selina Lake. Selina is a London stylist with many gorgeous books to her credit...please take a peak at her blog. I have a hunch you will get lost in it...as I did and do!


Love and good thoughts to all.


Warmly,

Homespun Alchemy tm : Create Your Own Vertical Garden

wonders never cease at Terrain...



this reclaimed pine frame serves as an enchanted herb garden cum wall art: the frame above is planted with rosemary...mint...sage...basil...thyme and fennel






the steel and aluminum frame above is planted with heart fern...plumosa fern...scotch moss...club moss





the woolly pockets above are wonderful for planting vegetables and herbs outdoors and...when the weather grows cold...simply bring the woolly pocket indoors and enjoy a year~round herb garden!

If you're not yet familiar with Terrain at Styers you're in for a treat! Their online catalog practically bulges with inspiration. I confess to have gotten lost in it...far too many times!



The images above are a perfect example of its enchantment...and while you can simplify your wall garden planting by purchasing these cleverly useful frames...I'm sure you...my creative kindred spirits...will be conjuring up your own, homespun variations of similarly styled earthly delights!


If you'd like to see more visit Terrain !

Love and good thoughts to all!



Warmly,
