{at the shops: crucial trading}

. . . back after a spontaneously extended and beautiful weekend away and always delighted to discover new shops with great products, but even more so with equally lovely photography -- two current favourites being Plumo {and here}and Toast, and now have happily discovered the very British Crucial Trading, a creative floorcoverings and rugs company whose gorgeous photography is a captivating mix of a fashion editorial and a brisk and blustery afternoon curled up beside a warm and romantic fire . . .












. . . more at a glamorous little side project

{DIY: black + white}

. . . fun DIY: a black and white zig zag rug made of painted sea grass

{p.s.} another zig zag DIY

{pale & pretty pink}

For all the moments that have been caught dreaming of pale and pretty pink rooms, it's a wonder am not surrounded by a blush of rose . . .
