Michael Eastman
I know that none of us could really live like this but I just love it. I was always a lover of Miss Haversham in Great Expectations so it was inevitable that this look would appeal to me.

Lots of you out there favour the ' all white' look, which I do, but I really LURVE this mellow yellow aged look. I think that some would think that it just looks tatty ( an English word ! ) but I obviously see through that.
I took this picture from somewhere a while ago now and I can't remember from whence it came but it just sums up faded beauty.
Love it !!

Gorgeous!!! I absolutely love that last photo of the pale blue chair, it's stunning!
ReplyDeleteBeauty is always there isn't it....even if it's faded or a little in need of help....
Great post!
Thank you for all your lovely comments on my blog yesterday....lovely to find you :)
Enjoy the tennis!
Hi Jackie. I love the Michael Eastman images,the aged walls are fabulous! However, I seem to have a love/hate relationship with yellow. I love it when I buy it and then hate it for the rest of time. The doily curtains are great too! I've seen this in a few mags and some of the creations seem worth trying!! I have told Simone that when I buy my new car I will name it Morgan in honour of you girls!! Julie
ReplyDeleteBy the way your blog is fabulous! I really love the 'Home' plaque in your banner. Glad you found me!! Julie
ReplyDeleteExtensive, years of therapy....just teasin.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty photos. Have you ever been over to My Romantic Home? You'd love her place and for a little tropical garden flair there is nothing like some Lime in the Coconut. Just for a bit of inspiration and beauty. I'd love to see the English countryside.
So you saw the Beatles in concert, now that is STINKIN cool!
I am so loving that chippy chair!! Great Blog, Janna
ReplyDeletelooooove these images! :)
ReplyDeleteI love those "tatty" books and the iron chair with the curtain behind it! My kind of decor. Just found you through "myromantichome" blog.

For having creativity & imagination??? Help no, funding to make them come true...yes!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely weekend to you shabby or chic!!!!
Oh quite the contrary Jackie - I adore that hue. Is it the history it's trying to tell us or the appreciation we have for it's timeless appeal? I adored Mrs. Haversham too. Wouldn't it be grand to be an eccentric, mysterious woman. Hey, maybe I am? Ha! Have you seen the movie "Grey Gardens", about Big Edie & Little Edie Beale? They fascinate me in that same way.
ReplyDeleteSorry my blog was out of sorts today & you were nice enough to comment. I had was having a senior moment & posted the pic. without finishing the whole post. Your post is beautiful today.
Happy Weekend to you Jackie!
