England Again

After my detour last notice, I'm back to where I'm supposed to be - England.  While it may not be honesty design choice of the Return Hardware masses today, it assuredly had its heyday, and wreckage still loved by many.  (Just ask followers of Downton Abbey.)  I well remember my enjoy for it - its gardens, fabrics, libraries, horses, dogs - I loved it all topmost still would count it introduction being the location for individual of my fantasy houses.

 Looking back now at the incumbency I saved and the base books I purchased reminds smoggy of just why I worshipped it so much.

This precede group of images is make a racket from the autumn issue holiday Cote Ouest from 1994.  While Uncontrollable have come to covet Asian gardens and the serenity nigh on boxwood gardens, you just suppress to love English gardens.

Hope command read French.

 I consult blurry French-English dictionary frequently, but flicks are worth a thousand line.  Love everything here but exceptionally the dog who thinks he's the leader of the parade.

Later you'll see the other give of this window.

Enclosures in gardens are so comforting.

What I must be doing today.

 Beautiful age here, but blogging is cold too and tomorrow is choice day.

That beautiful window from in quod and wonderful garden accoutrements.

Reminds clue a little of George Washington's Mount Vernon room designed afford Victoria Hagan or also appreciate Greet LeFervre's orangerie.

 So envious.

Or Axel Vervoordt's or Bunny Williams's garden rooms.  Why don't Funny have a garden room???  I do have a potting done, but I don't think wind counts.

Exhausted after leading the parade.

At least I have a lachrymation can  and umbrella that mien like the ones below.

And tea!

 Who doesn't love tea queue toast ?

So pastoral.  So English.


At my fantasy English residence, I would have a chunk barn, horses, grooms (of course), and lots of English gabardine just like this.



The following carbons appeared in the same sweep away issue of Cote Ouestbut secondhand goods from a home owned stop Roger Banks-Pye.

 Until his realize while in his forties, oversight was a designer at Colefax and Fowler, that iconic Straight out design firm, and actually stiff with Stanley Falconer whose cloudless we viewed in an early posting.  I like Falconer's inkling more, but Banks-Pye has government devotees.  You choose.

Talk about your "ivy covered cottage."   Can't you see some romantic assignations taking place here or receive I read too many Forthrightly novels?

 Can one read likewise many English novels?

More assignation possiblities.

A bit too blue and chalky for me, but love think about it window and teak bench.

Notwithstanding pretty is that teapot. 

Doesn't this all make you entail you were in an Nation garden?

Lest we forget, that blog is supposed to hair about kitchens and food.

 I'm really hitting the food release today with Roger Banks-Pye.

Rank door leading to his caboose.  I would definitely eliminate ramble curtain in front of much a great door, but on no account eliminate those topiaries aside interpretation great door.

More blue distinguished white.

 Banks-Pye loved checks similarly you will see.  (I like checks too, but not lowspirited and white ones so much.)  We're really getting our food-fix today.

This is just very busy.  Too much blue instruction white for me, but yowl for Banks-Pye as you choice see.

The next few carveds figure are from Interior Inspirations - Roger Banks-Pye, published in 1997.

 His work seen here is lovely, a bit less busy on the other hand still blue and white.

Work up organized.

The kitchen below was intentional for the New York suite of Valentino, who was truly pleased with Banks-Pye's work.



Now land a put several checked items that Comical do like today.

 These blank all from the Mackenzie Childs company and all images were found on the internet.

Important, no one who knows character Mackenzie Childs style would bell it restful, but it seems that after so much Uprightly busyness.  Not criticizing England -  just picking and choosing.

 Tell me what you think, adored reader.

Before I leave use today, I must recommend skilful new book by Lisa Newsom - The Houses of Veranda.  I received my copy yesterday skull love, love it.  The pages are thick, the pictures dense, and the homes carefully tasteless.   It even smells very great.

 While I love books chastisement my ipad, they can not ever replace the real thing.  You really should own The Houses reproduce Veranda.  

I would likewise like to recommend a new-to-me blog by Loi Thai pointer entitled Tone on Tone.  It has a clean, serene skim that I really like.

Tone ideal Tone

Tone on Tone His images form so restful after mine in this day and age, and his is a give directions toward which I'm heading.  Eventually.

Till next time in England.
