Maisie -- I LOVE your house! I''m still blown away at the bead-board wall paper. I love everything you''ve done! And that swirly green wallpaper with the awesome green armless chair -- GORGEOUS!

My mom has a plaque with that saying too. Her upstairs bathroom is beach-themed, and it fit right in.

The chair is supposed to be from the 60''s. I told one of my sons that its older than me, he didn''t look convinced. He thinks I am really old obviously.

[iheartscience]

Maisie, your home looks gorgeous!! Love the country chic style you're going for! You did SUCH an amazing job. Wanna do interior decoration for me????? Will pay in kind with tea and cookies

ETA: I do have me some Fortnum & Mason and Whittard. Have a feeling you might appreciate that!

Maisie, it looks lovely. You did a wonderful job.

Beautiful home, Maisie! So many nice little touches everywhere!

Maisie, you did a FABULOUS job! You did all this by yourself? Is this your career? Really, it all looks gorgeous. Everything looks so well put together and I love the colour combos. I have no idea how you got furniture off of ebay. I'm not aware that it can be shipped for a reasonable price around where I live. You did great!

Maisie, it''s beautiful! My favorite is the driftwood bowl! Oh, and the table and chairs. I love that not all the chairs are the same. It all just looks so welcoming. Great job!

I love to have my family round a big table. The kids try to escape but I make them stay and chat. They WILL bend to my will!

The bowl was from this site....

I love it! That makes you a great mom ! The colors you used in the kitchen are so fresh and I hate to be redundant here but love the beadboard wallpaper and the new paper in the living room, Great redo!!!

Bravo! It looks wonderful. You have a nice aesthetic. I don''t know what it looked like before, but I can see the peace inside of you being reflected in your home, and hopefully reflected back. I''ve never been into blue, being a redhead to my toenails - warm colors all the way. But in the last couple of years or so, I''ve developed this strange love of robin''s egg blue, and blue-greens. I can''t actually DO anything about it decorating-wise, because I''d have to re-do EVERYTHING to work even a bit of it in. So I just look longingly at the houses of those who didn''t have my little life-long prejudice.

It also makes me a bit nostalgic. Understand right here, that I''m NOT complaining about my wonderful man and wouldn''t trade him for anything, but...I do miss my clean, tidy, relatively uncluttered house that I had pre-hubs. It was perfect for one, but kinda cramped for two. Oh wait...three. Can''t forget the dog.

Bowl made from driftwood. I now have seashells in it.

I MUST HAVE THIS BOWL! Thanks for sharing the site!

It looks so great Maisie!! Do you know if B&Q ships to the US? I love so many of there things and I can''t find a store like it in the US. I LOVE the fencing on their site but I know that can''t be shipped

. You are doing such a great job with your house!

 

[Steel]

Great job! It looks fresh and homely.

[noelwr]

wow, makes me want to come over and stay for a really long time.

I love the "DUCK". would be perfect for my really tall husband, but I''d have to put it over every doorway.

 

[doodle]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the color! I would steal your entire kitchen! Reminds me of something I''d fawn over on HouseofTurquoise.com! What a great job, Maisie!

 

[dragonfly411]

F&M stuff is posh. I remember buying sugar lumps with little hearts on from them. I would never have thought I was good at this sort of thing. I usually run a mile from decorating!

The fireplace was literally down the road from me so I picked it up. I was looking at buying from a store but when this one came up I couldn''t pass up such a great deal!
