Heather Sent

So, Mid October and after what feels like a long and lovely summer, Im finally ready to surrender to the beauty of Autumn.

A couple of weeks ago the sun was out so I scrapped the usual dog walk and we hopped in the car to walk in one of my favourite spots instead. I'm lucky enough to live just a twenty minute drive from the edge of some of the most stunning scenery in this country - the North York Moors. It never fails to deliver, whatever the weather, but on a crisp blue-sky day the colours just sing as you can see from the pics I took below!

Heather in so many shades of purple, sandstone paths & freshly felled trees provide the inspiration for todays mood board - Heather Sent.....

Theres a definite hint of pineapple throughout the world of interiors at the moment, have you noticed? 

John Lewis have these stylish, on trend, metallic pineapple pots, Barneby Gates have this brilliant Pineapple wallpaper - the pink is lively and fun but they also do a dark colourway  that would look amazing in an eclectically dressed dining room. Then we have Graham & Green stocking this fabuous Golden Pineapple table and just about every other store you look at has a pineapple stashed on a shelf or two somewhere this season!

So todays inspiration board is pushing the pineapples and welcoming in a bit of tropical sunshine.... say hello to Club Tropicana! 

Bright colours & punchy patterns can be intimidating - but if you keep the base clean and crisp, like this white sideboard with colonial style doors, then you can throw colours around and have loads of fun!
