Duvet day, the perfect bedroom

When I lived in London the agency I worked for allowed us five duvet days a year. This meant we could just be 'off' without any real reason other than that we wanted to crawl back under our duvet for the day and stay there. Years later I still think about that duvet day and the beauty behind the idea. And if I were to take one, it would be here, in this beautiful bedroom. Oh the power of pictures against an all white backdrop. Could you spend a 'duvet day' here?!

For more wonderful 'duvet day' inspiration, you might want to check out the bedrooms here, here and here! Oh and here's my bedroom back at home (captured by my great friend Karin who has just had a little baby boy...congratulations! :)

My two favourite beddings: The Fold jersey sheets, duvet covers and pillows from The Beach House Company (trust me, it's like sleeping in your favourite t-shirt) and this linen bedding.

For the cutest children's bedrooms inspiration how about this Finnish bedroom, a girls room in earthy greens and dusty pinks and one of my all time favourites: a vintage inspired little girls bedroom.

Lie-in, relax and have a lovely (duvet?) day!

PS did you know that in Scandinavia it's customary to have two single duvets on a double bed?!

Si's serene San Francisco home

Everyone has blogs they go back to time and time again and one of my favourite is French By Design. French born Si has such wonderful taste and always shows inspires me her posts. It's no wonder her own home in San Francisco is absolutely beautiful. I love the neautral tones in monochrome, cognac and wood, it creates such a calm home, don't you agree?

The home is teeming with fabulous designer pieces. Si has a great post listing where you can find all the items here. I love the rugs....a trip to Morrocco is long overdue now! Perhaps this Autumn?

Thank you so much to Si for allowing me to share the lovely pics of your home!

I could live here, could you?!
