New photo album

I got this lovely album from James' mum who was finding no use for it. I think it's probably one of the prettiest ones I have seen and it's perfect to fit the photographs I took of the English countryside and Paris with my Olympus Trip 35.
She was also very sweet and got me those two little cacti! They are likely to be the only plants I won't kill (I am terribly bad at taking care of indoor plants)!

Project Ideas

  I saw this table at Skandium and fell in love! I have chosen a smaller size to use as a lamp table nex to the sofa.

 Okay, four weeks left!!! But don't panic, just choose furniture, flooring, curtains, wall colours, lighting, window frames, kitchen layout... oh dear! But it's so much fun at the same time (until the teacher tells me everything's wrong? Hope not).
So you see I need to write about it to relax (women of a certain age will use the word "therapeutic"). I have chosen a few interiors that have inspired me and from which I have taken certain elements to add to my project. In the next few days I will show you the project's plan and elevations.

Moroccan pouffe for my client's cat.

Black slate tiles for the kitchen floor (the furniture will be mainly bright white).

Long see-through white curtains for the living room. A plus if they are like in this picture longer than the wall.

Antique blanket trunk as coffee table.

This is a similar layout to mine (sofa facing two armchairs, with rug under the coffee table and side table with TV.)

Beautiful Edinburgh

James and I decided to celebrate his birthday at the end of March with a three-day trip to Edinburgh. The best decision ever, we got sunny days and 18ºC! We went and came back First Class on the Flying Scotsman, a journey that takes only 4 hours and a half and has stunning views (plus I love travelling by train). Edinburgh is now one of my favourite cities in the UK :)

A little town and views of the sea from the train

Delicious breakfast in First Class!

 Scott's Monument and our 4 star hotel!

The Balmoral Hotel

 Edinburgh's Castle

Holyrood Palace

 Lunch in a place that looked like a cute granny's house and the old town

 View of the city with the Castle on top

 Nelson's Monument (terribly windy up there!) and another view of Edinburgh from the hill

Spring Flowers

I couldn't resist sharing with you these wonderful photographs by Markus Pritzi. Here is something a bit more realistic though:

I'm in love with the details in this photograph - it looks like that tree was made for the base cabinet! And the way it frames the painting at the back is just perfect...

Hope you had a lovely Easter :)

New Ring

Hi all!

Sorry it's being so long since my last update but I've been busy these days and I also went for a few days to Edinburgh (photographs coming soon!). We had such a great time there and lots of sunshine, very rare in Scotland, ha!
I'm showing you today my new ring, and you will ask yourselves, but you bought one not long ago, didn't you? Well my friends, I had to return that one. Very disappointed as it said on the label that it was gold plated but at the same time it was leaving my finger green! Never mind, I got my money back and this is now my official new ring. It's a silver ring with a lapislazuli stone and it was only 10 pounds- a bargain! (Thanks to James' mum for buying it as a present for me) :)

And for you I've got some random photographs of a filming that was happening in London a few weeks ago. Probably some period series or a movie? I love the dresses :)
