52 Kisses

 

There were 52 kisses in my Birthday card yesterday from my daughter......

so to celebrate, like last year, I thought I'd share with you some favourite images as I can't buy you all cakes or drinks!


 

this looks a comfy corner for a cup of tea or putting your feet up for forty winks - love the country freshness of the classic large gingham curtains, the piped chair covers and the patterned paper on the dresser back

 

a cosy cavernous country kitchen with grey furniture, simple plain white curtains instead of cupboard doors and wonderful red and white chequered floor 

 

contemporary large patterned wallpaper works well with different prints on the cushions


 

love these bold painted green and white chequered floorboards for a country entrance way


 

 green and white patterned wallpaper with the sweet little retro couch, cushions and blue side table -  so fresh and spring-like!


 

bold patterned flooring works well when all the other elements are kept simple - white walls and cupboards with pine table alone standing out

 

my dream garden room/conservatory - full of plants, simple flooring (although I think I would have limestone flagstones or quarry tiles), simple white painted furniture, plenty of room to eat

 

so pretty - fresh floral pillows and contemporary patchwork cover


 

interesting mix of strong colour on wall with bold floral curtains and cushion, and elegant painted sofa upholstered in checked fabric - the grey links it all - I like this

 

pretty soft pink painted dresser with simple white walls and plain white china - cute white knobs too -fresh and pretty


 

more gentle pink, on the walls this time, but the large urn filled with garden flowers atop the painted grey chest prevents it from being too pretty pretty

 

simple white country bedroom

 

pretty pink and white country bedding in a simple white painted small country bedroom

 

wisteria starting to flower under a pretty stone windowsill filled with simple terracotta flowerpots full of cheerful yellow pansies


 

lovely flowers surrounding steps leading up to a beautiful, ornate painted veranda - I would love to have a house with a veranda! Just imagine sitting here watching the world go by and enjoying the garden, or entertaining with family or friends.


 

here's another! All comforts close to hand for settling down for a time to enjoy the gorgeous views, or if you can resist the views, curling up on the sofa with the quilt and a good book for a quiet read or indulging in an al-fresco snooze!


 

beautiful flowers with some cute painted bird houses


I hope you've enjoyed sharing these images with me.

I would love to hear which ones you like best and why!

Wishing you all a Happy Weekend - it's a long one here in the UK, so Happy May Day too!
