Sometimes you just have to kick yourself outta that rut and I always think the perfect way to do this is by changing your hair.<br />
<br />
So I scoured pinterest and found that the Lob is where it is at. Not too short so I look like my brother but still feels fresh. Here are a few of my <a href="http://pinterest.com/leanne_chandler/hair/">favourites</a>:<br />

I have had long hair all this time as it's so thick I was told it needed to be past my shoulders because of the weight of it. So I went to my trusty hairdresser and she said it was indeed possible to have a blunt cut but slice the weight out.<br />

She is <i>gorgeous</i> and I love the freedom she gives me. We live in a small town where parking spaces are limited and I don't always feel like walking but it's so much fun to hop on the bike down to the high street!<br />
<br />
<i>Of course</i> now I'm looking at accessories... I came across the gorgeous <a href="http://www.begbicycles.com/">Beg Bicycles</a> which not only do the most drool worthy vintage looking bikes but also beautiful accessories such as dog baskets<br />
and bags.<br />

Ok, maybe not in my garden yet but <i>definitely</i> wherever I look for inspiration.<br />
<br />
I have noticed lately that a lot of the pinsters I follow have started pinning more and more rooms with happy bursts of colour. Whether this is conscious or not, it seems we are craving some buds of brightness in these final dark days of winter. Here are a few that have caught my eye this week...<br />
<br />
How can this slice of sunshine not cheer anyone up? What I love with nearly all of these rooms is how the bright bursts of colour are all accessories, take them away and the room has a neutral base that can be quickly changed to give a whole new feel. Genius<br />

I like what I see over at <a href="http://www.frenchconnection.com/category/Woman+New+In/New+Arrivals.htm">French Connection</a> at the moment. Their new collection for Spring '13 had me at hello. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm adoring the spotty blouse with peter pan collar, this is a piece that could be worn dressed up or down or to the office.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On the other hand the 'Spring Blooms' dress is just so pretty it screams English Rose. I'm thinking this is the perfect outfit for Wimbledon - or anywhere else where afternoon tea is mandatory! Bring on Spring Time!</div>

Do you know what your 'style' is? I feel like I'm drawn to different styles constantly.<br />
<br />
Lately I love to see spaces filled with glamour and neutrals but I also love rooms that have a rustic feel and I am habitually drawn to the feminine touches of colour...<br />
<br />
But what I really love is spaces that balance all of these factors, these are the rooms that take my breath away!<br />

January is a love hate month for me. It sees awful weather and short days with the hangover from Christmas and so long till Spring but it's also mine and my best friend's birthday month. It can be hard to feel energised and motivated when it is dark and cold but strangely I do! <br />
<br />
The new year to me feels like a new diary all fresh and empty reading to be filled. I like to plan a lot in January, just little things plotted out for the unfolding year ahead like little seeds waiting to bloom... it give purpose and something to look forward to in these dark days. Do you do this too? Are you you in hibernation till the Spring?!<br />
<br />
I love the idea of this stylish diy filing box above. Not only is it a great way to stay organised it then turns into a lovely keepsake when the year is done. Instead of months you could divide it up for projects, rooms, clients or inspiration styles. This may be my weekend project, I have so many empty boxes since Christmas!<br />
<br />
Another thing I find helps with the January Blues is giving yourself a little post Christmas treat. It doesn't have to be costly, but something that gives you a quick pick me up. As we are going out for my birthday I went all out for a bright red dress...<br />

We stayed at a uber child friendly hotel called <a href="http://www.sandsresort.co.uk/">Sands </a>just outside of Newquay. I had been so worried about the weather I wanted somewhere with things for kids to do just in case. It's a friendly, welcoming, great value hotel with loads of facilities and can see why it's won it's many tripadvisor awards. Their outside space for kids was amazing with zipwires, bouncy castle, swimming pool, tennis courts etc.<br />
<br />
We've decided though that next time we want to try the Watergate Bay Hotel a few further miles up the coast. It's had a major revamp and the new decor is gorgeous - fun and fresh with lots of bold striped wallpaper, floor boards and a hit of nautical. I think it gets the balance of child friendly and chic just right.<br />
<br />
It's right on the beach at Watergate Bay (obvs!) and across the road from Jamie Oliver's Fifteen restaurant where we had an amazing dinner one night watching the surfers until it grew dark.<br />

The hardest part of redecorating for a lot of people is working out what they really want and envisaging it in their own space. This is where E-Design is perfect as I work with you to really find out what it is that you want, bring it to life and then you can go do it with no pressure and enjoy the process! I'm really excited about it I can help you out with either:<br />

Before that we owned a starter home/new build and then a converted barn!<br />
<br />
We've learned a LOT through this process, and as much as I still crave my own home I think it has been a great learning curve for two house-a-holics! And narrows down for me <i>exactly</i> what I want from my dream home. Not dream-win-the-lottery-home but dream <i>forever</i> home.<br />

Although this dreamy room is an apartment in Madrid (see <a href="http://www.apartmentmodern.com/2974/duplex-apartment-central-madrid.html/luxury-duplex-apartment-in-central-madrid">here for more</a>), this image sums up my perfect day room. A room or even a space off of the kitchen with wall to wall glass doors with day bed, fresh modern moroccan features, lots of white, warm wooden floors and of course a hint of pink. What could be more perfect? Gorgeous!<br />

I've been searching for a nice dress to where to Henley Festival next week. It's black tie so some women wear floor length gowns but I'm not really feeling that so was looking for something sophisticated but something I could also wear again.<br />
<br />
After trying on about 100 dresses <a href="http://www.warehouse.co.uk///warehouse/fcp-product/307594#GBP">this one</a> came home with me. It's not what I will be wearing to the 'do' but I love it and it was down from £58 to £35 so it would have been rude not to!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.warehouse.co.uk///warehouse/fcp-product/307594#GBP">Warehouse</a> have some great dresses at the moment and I must say they are much better in real life than viewed on their website so definitely one to check out.<br />

As the weather here is unpredictable to say the least I needed something a bit more substantial than sandals, more lightweight than closed in flats and something than wasn't a ballerina pump (which I'm sick of).<br />
<br />
I wasn't sure about these at first on the website but for £15 thought I'd give them a go. They are great! So comfortable and lightweight, I wear them instead of slippers!<br />
<br />
The great thing about them too is that they go with anything from skinny jeans to summer dresses so are a great go to.<br />
<br />
You'll find a link for them <a href="http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-MILAN-Leather-Laser-Cut-Out-Shoes/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1839443&SearchQuery=laser%20shoes&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Tan">here</a>.<br />

Originally there was a small reception room with a dining room behind but the dividing wall had been knocked down to create a larger family space.<br />
<br />
The young couple have two small boys and so wanted a practical but fun space. She wanted a squishy L shaped sofa (they currently have two dark brown leather sofas) and he is into photography so it would be nice to have some space to show that off too. They had already finished renovating their kitchen with glossy white units and light grey walls so kept that in mind as it's good if a home has a similar 'feel' from room to room.<br />
<br />
I sent her a few inspiration ideas that I'd grouped together from <a href="http://pinterest.com/leanne_chandler/emma-s-home/">pininterest</a>. I think this is a great way of finding out what a client likes straight away, making it easier for us both to see their taste. Then we talked about the layout of the room, furniture placement and storage and display ideas.<br />
<br />
At home I collated all I'd learnt - they love greys plus different shades of blues and turquoise as well as deep coral/ orange. I suggested greys and blues with warm tones as the room is north facing and could feel quite cold and flat. They also wanted to add some wallpaper and I suggested doing this down the dining end of the room, to give it some drama and definition.<br />
<br />
I also suggested ditching the matching sofas and having one L shape in a neutral shade and one snuggle or love seat under the front bay window in a cheery shade or pattern.<br />
<br />
It's been such a fun process - h<span style="background-color: white;">ere is the moodboard as it stands now...(other than a few more cushions to add - in deep coral) What do you think?</span><br />

I love the mix - turquoise + blue + coral + pink + gold = gorgeous!<br />

I've been working on moodboards for a victorian property that has had a vast overall internally. I love victorian properties and their features. Looking forward to sharing more with you tomorrow!<br />

So I'm going to start a series or two to get that routine in full swing.<br />
<br />
Every Thursday I'm going to feature an interior that captures my attention and break down what it is that makes that space work. I found it a really invaluable tool when studying interior design as it helps you understand how thoughtful interior design works.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/125186064612634301/">Today's Stop And Stare</a> is Amanda Peet's amazing multi-tasking family room from her home in LA, as featured in US <a href="http://www.vogue.com/magazine/article/amanda-peets-place/#1">Vogue</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLeoR5yWP1257DoAelEdGK3z04ovAUOnfvQev5XHffe-r7RdpuY0VICUqmNNuOikV4frZ35y0fJfJ-p9IQaJAyd1btiKYKuhLEIjcx5IldCpAg97SpwhtoMendXORfZNpZMMnM_TAbnLA/s1600/amanda-peet-house-05_12222080603.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="505" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLeoR5yWP1257DoAelEdGK3z04ovAUOnfvQev5XHffe-r7RdpuY0VICUqmNNuOikV4frZ35y0fJfJ-p9IQaJAyd1btiKYKuhLEIjcx5IldCpAg97SpwhtoMendXORfZNpZMMnM_TAbnLA/s640/amanda-peet-house-05_12222080603.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This is not a room that has sudden dramatic impact and jumps out of the screen at you shouting and screaming for attention but look again and you will see the quiet, happy perfectness of this space.<br />
<br />
When studying interior design, two thing we're taught about that can be hard to grasp are Harmony and Balance. They are not practical things you can measure or draw but they are what makes a room a place people enjoy without even thinking about it and both have been captured here. The white wash paint on the walls along with the white clad ceiling gives the home a beach house vibe while the glossy dark floorboards balance this out, adding grown up glamour.<br />
<br />
The built in L shape sofa makes the room in my opinion. It juts out forming a perfect breakfast nook, while at the same time blocking off the other half of the room, turning that into a TV and reading area of it's own. This is a great way to use space in a largely open plan, family home - zoning out areas so the family can be together but each area has it's own use.<br />
<br />
With the neutral basics in place, they could have gone in any direction with the decor. But soft and squidy stripe cushions are used on the bench of the sofa and a similar coloured berger rug is added to give a relaxed, lived in vibe to the room. The Vogue article also mentions that <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;"><i>To help her interiors stay playful, she leans heavily on John Derian’s handcrafted aesthetic for inspiration, as well as the freshness and intimacy of Provençal style. </i>You can see this in the choice of furniture.</span><br />
<br />
The colours of the cushions, the rug and the cacophony of books warm up the room, making it feel welcoming and comfortable. The rustic wooden table also adds instant warmth, depth and the tactile quality that wooden furniture always brings.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;"><i>“I see a lot of homes that are supercool,” the actress says, “and everything is very tasteful, but it’s not warm. I’m really scared of rooms that look too serious.” (from her <a href="http://www.vogue.com/magazine/article/amanda-peets-place/#/magazine-gallery/amanda-peets-place/6">Vogue </a>interview)</i></span><br />
<br />
Fun details such as her children's artwork taped to the wall make sure this place isn't serious and really add to that lived in family feel. Never overlook those magical creations that are given to you by sticky fingered little ones, they really are the priceless (sometimes abstract!) pieces in my opinion.<br />
<br />
What do you think of the space? Could you sit here with a cup of tea, slice of cake and a book? I know I could!leannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07402764093819665543noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649426902388779907.post-89755841641202177982012-06-14T09:52:00.003+01:002012-06-14T11:08:18.570+01:00Spaghetti Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino<br />

<br />
I love them when they are warmed up with golds and gilts, or when adding interest and serenity to whites.<br />
<br />
Lilac and lavender are restful and feminine and very romantic... the perfect colours for snoozing...<br />
