I like the 'mr Darcy wallpaper too' :-)!<br /><br />I enjoyed seeing the photo's of your harvest. You have a huge amount of apples. Lucky you!! Looking foward to see how your wreath will look like.<br /><br />The book looks promising.

I was going to put in a coir runner in lieu of a linen one because of the dog. I wish, wish I could use the linen though...it is just perfect. Also, I love the idea of wall paper on the stair wall. I'm not much on wallpaper, but a bit could be just the ticket. Anyway, thank you for the post.

It all looks so light and cottagey. Wonderful. As you say, I wonder how it will wear? Hopefully it will be okay. I also love that book - what stunning photos in there. And what a bumper crop of apples you have! We are the same over here, and my husband will be making pure apple juice tomorrow. Lovely to be able to pick the fresh raspberries to have with your porridge. I am doing the same with blackberries fromn the garden at the moment.Southhamsdarlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285980805569582676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304388415638240944.post-31458603250999228802011-09-17T08:05:22.782-07:002011-09-17T08:05:22.782-07:00Hi Linda

I feel wallpaper can be classic and always in fashion when used appropriately. Your treatment of the doorstep is fabulous. I was just commenting about the doorsteps of Georgian homes in Youghal and many still had the original tile work - rather similar to what you are doing. A black door definitely and perhaps you might consider a high gloss finish, I think this can be very elegant.<br />Your harvest from the garden looks abundant. Good work.<br />Wishing you a great weekend Linda<br />Helen xxhelen tilstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791882664528962799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304388415638240944.post-53128883184656270832011-09-17T07:24:47.937-07:002011-09-17T07:24:47.937-07:00Wow!

This post is packed with so many good...Hello Linda:<br />This post is packed with so many goodly things it is difficult to know where to start. <br /><br />Well, and here we must be truthful, we are not over fond of the colour peach - it seems, at least to us, to resonate of the 1970s which, as far as architecture and interiors are concerned, was not, in our view, a happy period.<br /><br />Oh for the delights of fresh raspberries on one's morning porridge. Not a possibility here but most certainly something to be dreamed of - utterly delicious, we are sure. And such a good way to enliven the porridge which, Spartans as we are, we eat with absolutely nothing added.<br /><br />Your hall stairs and runner are, Linda, an absolute dream. We really LOVE the effect and having seen it think that we shall try to do something similar with the [presently painted] stairs of a small flat we have here which is let for holidays. And, believe us, we really think that your runner is nicer than one by Roger Oates.<br /><br />The wallpaper is superb. Use it for it will look fabulous but, and really think about this, it will look much, much better on all the walls of the hall, stairs and landing rather than on a single wall. The effect would be incredible and really look so purposeful and right. To do otherwise may look a little like a loss of design courage. Be bold, make a statement, is always our mantra!!<br /><br />The book looks great - go out and treat yourself today. Take the money from the housekeeping and, to compensate, serve uncooked apples as a pudding every day. A big money saver!!<br /><br />We love the idea of a black front door and did, in fact, want to paint ours here black rather than white but were not allowed as, or so we were told, all the doors onto the landings in our apartment house must be white - and most certainly so if you are a foreigner!!<br /><br />Enjoy the most wonderful weekend.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304388415638240944.post-72019098624964610782011-09-17T00:46:29.768-07:002011-09-17T00:46:29.768-07:00You sure are keeping busy over there.

And the fish...Oh Linda - your stairs look fabulous! And the fishing wallpaper is the bees knees. It would be stupendous on the stair wall. <br /><br />I am also not much of a wallpapery sort of person, generally, but sometimes it adds just the right finishing touch. Actually, I do rather like those classic scene papers - I have had my eye on a hunting scene wallpaper but am not sure it won't make the room too dark - even one wall of it might be overpowering. It's all reds, greens and browny colours. But that one you like is light and elegant.<br /><br />I felt the same way about my Scandanavian Needlecraft book as you do about your vintage flower one. Almost every page made me gasp too. :) You will have lots of pleasure from browsing through it when it arrives. Enjoy. <br /><br />ps. Your roses are stunning and very vintage indeed.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14257653410136495378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304388415638240944.post-26416338475252810042011-09-16T23:30:53.829-07:002011-09-16T23:30:53.829-07:00Linda, you never stop....I love the runner on the ...Linda, you never stop....I love the runner on the stairs and there will definitely be a "no shoe" rule from now on in your house.
