Orange Obsession

Do you ever surprise yourself by liking something you didn't think was in your taste palette?  I REALLY love this Laura Ashley fabric and on no level did I think I was an orange person (clearly I'm embracing my inner coral Bec).  If the passion doesn't subside, I am definitely covering a "statement" chair in it next year when we do our extension.

Carnell Estate

Welcome to the grand Scottish estate Brangelina and their brood (such a tired way to describe them I know but is their a better expression?) are calling home for the next little while.  The 16th Century 'house' is set within extensive gardens and park lands which I imagine give them the privacy they desire from the locals.

The grounds are just so beautiful, and wouldn't it be lovely to spend a winter like this.  You can read more about the history of the estate here if you're interested.
