Visual escape...

One of my favourite coffee table books I own is "My Amalfi Coast" written by Amanda Tabberer. When ever I feel like I need a holiday this is the book I read or flip thru. I am always dreaming of renting one of her holiday apartments on the Amalfi.... this is my kind of escape!

...I do not think I would ever tire of this view!

so many of the apartments have beautiful tiles and stunning architectural features.

You can explore more of the apartments and villas here.

Which one would you choose? Enjoy your weekend....Ax

Imagine...

coming through the gentle hills with snow capped mountains in the distance you stumble upon a crunchy gravel driveway.  You follow it past the box hedges and crab apple trees and arrive at this gorgeous  stone building which is set amongst 10 acres of manicured gardens. 

Originally a bakery which opened in 1875 the current owners have lovingly restored into the perfect rural retreat. 
As you enter the cottage you see the Belgium covered linen sofas and the warmth of the pot bellied stove welcomes you. Travertine cobblestones cover the floor leading into the kitchen. Upstairs the master suite provides the perfect sanctuary from which you hear the silence of the country side and enjoy far reaching views across the valley and vineyards to the mountain. 

Double french doors open from the kitchen onto the private courtyard where a wooden table provides the perfect spot to enjoy an alfresco lunch. Wandering around the enchanting French inspired gardens you feel relaxed and the constant motions of the outside world seem to disappear if only for a few days...magnifique!

Weekend

I cannot believe it is already Friday!!  

I found these lovely images which are from old House and Garden magazines - the first one is 1963 & the second 1956. I find looking at past design images very inspiring.  Have a great weekend!

Friday Flowers....

{via House Beautiful}

Here are some beautiful flowers for you to enjoy this weekend - I love to have flowers in my home even if it is just one or two picked from the garden.  I plan to spend some time in the garden this weekend so that one day soon I may have enough flowers to pick and display like this. 

See you next week!!
