Pure linen sheets would have to be one of life’s little luxuries that I’ve been quietly obsessed with since discovering them as a guest at my mother in-law’s home in France. There’s something about feeling the texture of linen against your skin while you sleep, the fabric breathes and is cool in the hot weather and soft and inviting in the colder months.

Today I’m so pleased to have writer and interior stylist, LeeAnn Yare visiting to answer my 5 decorating questions. LeeAnn is much loved here in New Zealand and rightly so, she’s charming and approachable and where you go to keep up to date with what’s going on here and internationally. Earlier this year she opened Collected, an interior concept store with a mixture of high end and affordable design pieces, it’s bright and beautiful and very hard to not walk away with something, even if it’s just a little thing. She has also recently begun her own interior-decorating segment Friday mornings on TVNZ’s Good Morning program.
Today I’d love for you to come visit me for my guest post over at the stylish CULTIVER blog where I will show you our gorgeous vintage Moroccan copper tray table and how I’ve mixed ethnic with contemporary in our living room.
With summer closer in the southern hemisphere, I thought I’d do a post on the good old rattan style chair as this kind of furniture is so comfortable in the warmer months with their airy flexible frames.
I love mantles, not only are they a decorative feature, it’s a place to showcase some of my little treasures. We are lucky enough to have this gorgeous one in our home; I adore the moodiness of the painted black.
