Hello and welcome to my blog. If you like flowers and gardens, housey stuff, food and banter, then this is the place for you. I am a decorative artist, florist and maker of things. I sell painted furniture, plants and crafts, through a local retail shop, in my native Ireland, and wedding flowers from home. I am married to a lovely patient man and have a smashing little girl. I blog for the fun of it. Thank you for listening.

What's wrong with a little romance?

This is a picture of the bride and groom at a Wedding I did the flowers for recently. I just love the way she is looking at him. 

Recently when a friend came for lunch, she described my decorating style as 'romantic'. I was quite taken aback, I had never thought about it like that, I just thought my style was 'country'.I began to look at my Pinterest pins to see if this was true, and guess what, I am a romantic, even in the style of clothing and flowers, there is a hint of romance running through everything. See for yourself.....









All images were from Pinterest.
So whilst my beloved was in Zambia doing charitable work, and I was missing him and feeling all romantic, I decided to paint my kitchen and add a little romance of my own.

My floor was already painted in this tile pattern, but was a little worn, so I refreshed it, and my larder cupboard was painted Lavender.

The awful tiles that I would love to rip out will have to wait to the next time my husband is away for 2 weeks! I painted them in the palest of pinks. I just love my new acquisition, a painting on vintage wallpaper by Lynn Barron from Sea Angels.

A little nook above the stove is ideal for displaying pretty things.

A grey bookcase was painted pale pink inside and then I wallpapered the back with a pretty chinoiserie paper from Graham and Browns V&A collection.



All this romance calls for candles and cake!

This new discovery about me has been quite liberating.I hope to move on to my clothing style, which has suffered badly this last lot of years, and add a little romance to my wardrobe.
If someone could sum up your style in one word, what would it be, I would love to know, leave me a message! Wishing you all a 'romantic' weekend, with love, Linda x
