"The Holiday" part 2- THE tent

Pics do not do this gorgeous room justice!

I have been scouring the web trying to find some images of the stunning "tent" set up in Jude Law's character's daughters rooms, alas to no avail. In my desperation I pulled out the dvd and took photos while I paused the movie-hence the terrible pics.

As soon as I saw this delicious girls room I knew I wanted to create one similar for my daughters (I only had 1 at the time but was determined to have another- I love little girls and everything pretty & girly that comes with them!). I cannot wait for the time when A is out of her cot and sharing a room with M so we can get started on this little project.

I just adore the various linens, ticking, lace, sumptuous cushions and pillows, lamp light and trails of flowers as well as the layers of sheer, pink and cream fabric draped to form this special place. The lovely handmade glittery stars hanging from the centre really make this an enchanting haven for any little girl (as I am a bit anal it will take some restraint from myself to not take over and make cookie cutter perfect stars myself instead of letting the girls create their own probably slightly less aesthetically pleasing ones).

Another little project to add to the to do list...

Need i say more...

"The Holiday" is on tv tonight, bliss...one of my all time favourite movies.

I just adore Iris' English cottage. Cosy, charming, quaint. It makes me want to curl up with a good book and hot chocolate on a cold winter's evening- on her plump overstuffed sofa by the fire of course. Or like a pretzel in the bath tub... or suggled down under the duvet... or in the library...anywhere would do...

ahh...
