A Coffee at Annabel's



On Saturday I spent the afternoon hanging out with my friend Annabel. If you're ready to feel a bit jealous of a beautiful home then check out these snaps...



Her neat and tidy storage. The jars are from Jamie Oliver - I know because I copied her and got a load for myself a while back... mine don't look quite as neat as these though.



Have come to conclusion that we need some alcove shelves/storage in our sitting room, I just hope I can keeping it looking as good as hers - not that it's a competition; honest!







It was bliss to just relax in the sunshine and chat, just the two of us and the cats. I did come away feeling a bit jealous of her lovely calm home... especially...



...when I opened the door to this room when I got home - I'm meant to be sorting it out right now, so I'd better get on!

  1. What a lovely house, you have really stylish friends! Alcove shelving is high on my list of things to do to our house, I love it (and properly unpacking books makes me feel really settled...)

    Love that your house isn't always immaculate ! ;)

    1. I have high standards for my friends... if they don't have stylish homes then they're out ;-)

  3. Your friend does have a beautiful house, and I love her name ;)
    Good luck for the cleaning (I am sorting things out too at our place and it's been taking most of my free time for days - hence no blog time -, but it's worth it!)

    1. I've been missing your blog Anabelle! Maybe I should take a break from blogging and tidy instead...

  4. Love that house + I'm a big fan of sheepskin chairs. I'm sure my house is less tidy than yours - it's chaos. I'm back working in Chiswick if you fancy a coffee some time x

    1. Hi Lynne, we can have a messy house competition if you like!? I saw your 'back to work' photo on instagram and wondered if you'd be in Chiswick again, would be nice to meet up!
