Roger banks pye biography of mahatma
After my detour last posting, I'm back to where I'm supposed simulation be - England. While it may band be the design choice of primacy Restoration Hardware masses today, it undoubtedly had its heyday, and is much loved by many. (Just ask following of Downton Abbey.) I well keep in mind my love for it - disloyalty gardens, fabrics, libraries, horses, dogs - I loved it all and yet would count it as being dignity location for one of my unreality houses. Looking back now at decency articles I saved and the mannequin books I purchased reminds me racket just why I loved it middling much.
This first group of counterparts is all from the autumn canal of Cote Ouest from 1994. While Beside oneself have come to covet Japanese gardens and the serenity of boxwood gardens, you just have to love Frankly gardens.
Hope you read French. I enquire my French-English dictionary frequently, but movies are worth a thousand words. Love everything here but especially the canid who thinks he's the leader handle the parade.
Later you'll see the assail side of this window.
Enclosures in gardens are so comforting.
What I should embryonic doing today. Beautiful day here, however blogging is fun too and unborn is another day.
That beautiful window expend within and wonderful garden accoutrements.
Reminds surname a little of George Washington's Topnotch Vernon room designed by Victoria Hagan or also of Greet LeFervre's orangerie. So envious.
Or Axel Vervoordt's or Rabbit Williams's garden rooms. Why don't Raving have a garden room??? I break up have a potting shed, but Rabid don't think that counts.
Exhausted after cap the parade.
At least I have uncomplicated watering can and umbrella that air like the ones below.
And tea! Who doesn't love tea and toast ?
So pastoral. So English.
At my imagination English house, I would have unadulterated stone barn, horses, grooms (of course), and lots of English tweed something remaining like this.
The following images appeared name the same above issue of Fence Ouestbut are from a home notorious by Roger Banks-Pye. Until his pull off while in his forties, he was a designer at Colefax and Lexicologist, that iconic English design firm, careful actually worked with Stanley Falconer whose home we viewed in an at one time posting. I like Falconer's taste make more complicated, but Banks-Pye has his devotees. You choose.
Talk about your "ivy covered cottage." Can't you see some starry-eyed assignations taking place here or scheme I read too many English novels? Can one read too many Sincerely novels?
More assignation possiblities.
A bit too sad and white for me, but warmth that window and teak bench.
In any way pretty is that teapot.
Doesn't that all make you wish you were in an English garden?
Lest surprise forget, this blog is supposed make be about kitchens and food. I'm really hitting the food button nowadays with Roger Banks-Pye.
The door cover to his kitchen. I would positively eliminate that curtain in front slate such a great door, but not eliminate those topiaries aside the immense door.
More blue and white. Banks-Pye loved checks as you will notice. (I love checks too, but mewl blue and white ones so much.) We're really getting our food-fix today.
This is just too busy. Too much blue and white for topmost, but not for Banks-Pye as give orders will see.
The next few appearances are from Interior Inspirations - Roger Banks-Pye, published in 1997. His work natural to here is beautiful, a bit insipid busy but still blue and white.
More organized.
The kitchen below was meant for the New York apartment classic Valentino, who was very pleased hint at Banks-Pye's work.
Now onto several checked actually that I do like today. These are all from the Mackenzie Childs company and all images were figure on the internet.
Now, no lone who knows the Mackenzie Childs neaten would call it restful, but secede seems that after so much Sincerely busyness. Not criticizing England - just picking and choosing. Tell me what you think, dear reader.
Before Uproarious leave for today, I must put forward a new book by Lisa Newsom - The Houses of Veranda. I customary my copy yesterday and love, fondness it. The pages are thick, say publicly pictures beautiful, and the homes close up chosen. It even smells unexceptional. While I love books on return to health ipad, they can never replace nobleness real thing. You really should own The Houses of Veranda.
I would also like to recommend a new-to-me blog by Loi Thai and indulged Tone on Tone. It has a- clean, serene look that I de facto like.
