Click on to the link you posted here. Look on the left, scroll down a bit and you will see a list of names, near the bottom is Vintage pleasures, I sent you a personal message as I have just realised these are Bloggers on the Plump pudding site.

Click on to Vintage pleasure and then, on the right hand side scroll till you see the dates and click on to october 2007. good luck then scroll down all the pictures till you come to a lovely bedroom.

Agree totally she has a beautiful home. Look at kitchen here:

GOSH! I missed the kitchen. Glad you were able to find it ok. There are loads of links to go to from that site all to do with interiors and all sorts of things.

Thanks for putting it on here.

I've followed your directions Maypole and I cant see bedroom pics either , though some nice pics of her kitchen and a lovely half-finished wall cupboard?

Rosieben ......the bedroom is not on her site/blog but one one of the links from her site to another one which is equally interesting. Here's the bedroom:

P-P, thanks for sharing the photos - I love the welcome wreath and the plaque too I have loads of folksy graphics that I aim to do something with one day! :rolleyes:

I went to Nottcutts in bagshot last year or year before when they had their christmas shop, and they had a whole section of folk-arty christmas decs, some really beautiful stuff. If I was starting from scratch with christmas decs thats what I would have gone for. My dd was disgusted - it aint christmas to her unless its red and gold and sparkly!! :rotfl:

Edited to say - I love your runner duck too!

Thanks Viv, I realised its a different blog but I still couldnt find the bedroom; just followed your link, and I guess the photo we're seeking is the 'I'm liking...' one. nice soft colours there. Thanks

Well I have decided on my day off on Monday to repaint my dining room, I have chosen chalk white which should go nicely with all my furniture in there, I have a bureau from Ikea and wall cupboard with glass fronts that display all my honey pots and cow creamers etc I am hoping to line this with some nice scrapbooking papers that I do not have a use for! not decided which ones yet as I have hundreds, I also have a large heavy dining table made from recycled pallets with matching chairs.

All the furniture is a deep pine colour (not a tinge of that horrible orangey cheap pine stuff)

Will get before pics posted on Monday!

The week before xmas I had the wall put back between my dining room and living room as the previous owners had it open plan which I detested, it is so much cosier now though!

Yes thats the one Rosieben ........I like it but feel it would be too sophisticated a look for me. I really do like the kitchen on the other link I posted:
