After such a cold, grey & miserable weekend, this morning I dream of a beach house. Nothing big & flashy, just something basic & cosy. Somewhere in the sun to retreat, to read & relax - where I can stay in my trackie all day, where its OK to eat a bowl of muesli for dinner if I want & with no mobile phone coverage!


My cottage would be furnished sparsely, with simple things that have a past. Beautifully functional, but not precious. Objects that come from different places, but meld as one. Decorating at its easiest, but also at its best.

  1. Millie, I love this collection of photos, my favourite combination of scrubby utilitarian objects - am a BIG fan of a trackie too xx
    And, by all means go ahead with letterpress post, can't wait to see what you do xx

  2. Your description of how you would decorate your cottage is how I envisage decorating my new home... as after all it will really just be a cottage too....it sounds grander when I ramble on about my decorating dreams! I hope the weather fines up for you. A-M xx
    PS I had a bowl of muesli for dinner last night! I was on strike!
