Corners of the home link up

Do you ever get a glimpse at the inside of someone else's home and feel an inch of curiosity about the person living inside and what quirks and corners are behind the window panes? As I travel back and forth to work on the tube each day I often get a distant and brief peak through the odd window into someone else's world and of course I see the beautiful corners of peoples homes through the blogs that I read. It's always nice to see how other's organise their home and what tastes and treasures other people have.

It got me thinking about the corners of my home, the parts that I see everyday that make me smile and make me feel at home and safe, surrounded by my own treasures. They are the corners that I imagine other people would see and get to thinking about the type of person I am, why I arranged things in that way and why that particular book..where did I get that particular idea from and so on. So I snapped a few little glimpses of my favourite corners and I thought I would share them with blog land. Just because.

Do you have favourite corners of your home too? Why not take some pictures of your pretty home and share them? You can link up to this post and let everyone take a little peak inside your world.

So without further ado..

It is my favourite quote.

And there you have it, my most favourite corners, the bits that make me smile. Now, show me yours by posting your link below and spread the word.

With love,

From my home to yours

A little while back on Tumblr I started a little series called 'From my home to yours' in which I gave quirky and inventive tips for your vintage, shabby chic inspired home. Sadly, they were a little over looked. But perhaps you, my trusty readers will find them more useful?

Part one starts today and there will be more to follow in good time.

From my home to yours- Part one

Have you ever thought about using pearl as curtain ties? It really works you know. I  never wore this
necklace and I couldn't help but think that it was meant for better things. So i wrapped it around my curtain and
my what an effect. It works really well for the French glam look which is perfect for my bedroom.
This idea could work with any costume necklace so why not give it a try?
