This is an old photo from our bedroom in the loft but this corner looks pretty much the same now. I’m sharing this image as I love these French iron crosses and we have 3 inside and another in the garden! I have a lovely one I bought in France last year which I will be bringing to @10harleston early next week. It’s currently in my garden sitting in the pouring rain and I don’t fancy dragging it in to photograph it on such a dark day! I will however post photos next week of the cross and all the other beautiful items in the store from my fellow dealers… @jamesandjoannadesign @rubyroseantiques @countryhouse_interiors @country_clutter @midnightvintage64 @homebyannielambert #10harleston #antiquesinmyhome #mydarkhome #darkinteriors #frenchcross #mycuratedhome #myhousethismonth #styleitdark

Beautiful blue skies here today in Suffolk! I popped into @10harleston yesterday to drop off some new stock and the store is looking just gorgeous with so many lovely things from all my fellow stockists… @rubyroseantiques @midnightvintage64 @homebyannielambert @country_clutter @countryhouse_interiors @jamesandjoannadesign are upstairs in the most stunning space with all their beautiful handmade textiles. Harleston is really worth a visit and I would recommend lunch @soulcafe.harleston Hope to see you there soon! #10harleston #antiqueshop #vintageforsale #brocantestyle #countryhouseinteriors #curatedvintage

My website has been very neglected for a long time so I am having a spring sale to make way for lots of fresh stock waiting in the wings! Everything on the website now has 20% off until next Sunday at 9am. Just use the code SBR20 at the checkout. #reducedvintagefinds #vintagesale

I’m sorting stock today for a couple of different events which means walking up and down my muddy garden in the rain to the sheds and bringing more stuff into the house!! Anyway these lovely pieces are coming with me to @thereclaimedhomefair 2nd March in Chipping Norton. I will be in the lower hall with some great sellers and you will probably hear us before you see us! (Not mentioning any names @withjoroberts ) #thereclaimedhomefair #brocantestyle #myrustichome #frenchfinds

I’m starting to gather some special items to bring to @thereclaimedhomefair in Chipping Norton 2nd March. I will be bringing this gorgeous taxidermy display of birds which is currently sitting amongst some of my treasures in my room. The lovely bell jar is from @oaklandcollectibles and displayed inside with the books is a little pewter shoe pin cushion from Kath @katie_bell_treasure . Kath will be stalling next to me downstairs with the “lower hall brigade” @withjoroberts @heirs_vintage_ @nicholasandsteele @rosablue @mynookshop I’m really looking forward to this gorgeous fair and hope some of you can come x #thereclaimedhomefair #mycuratedhome #brocantestyle

Today will be spent packing boxes and loading the car and thankfully for once I have a space outside the house!! Tomorrow I will be stalling @burycourtbarn for the lovely @homeandvintagelifestyle event along with some really good sellers and makers. I’m having a winter clearance sale and every item on my stall will be reduced! I will be bringing lots of lovely kitchenwares and art so come and say hello. Further details can be found on @homeandvintagelifestyle page. Have a great weekend. #vintagestyle #vintageforsale #mycuratedstyle #brocantestyle

I have a confession to make, I’ve only just taken down my Christmas garland over the mantel! (please tell me I’m not the only one with remnants of Christmas still around). I’ve just shoved the twisted twigs from it into the French urn and decided to do a quick reel of my loft. It’s been a few years since we did the loft conversion and I’d forgotten how many decisions needed to be made on every detail. We are now in the middle of an extension and back to making decisions and choices and hoping we get it right! I have a busy week ahead as I’m doing @homeandvintageliving fair in Surrey and will be selling lots of beautiful pieces at very reduced prices. All the details are @homeandvintageliving I hope to see you there x #mydarkhome #loftconversion #antiquesinmyhome #mycuratedhome

It was lovely to see a bit of sunshine this morning so captured a little of my loft landing. Our loft has a few pieces of religious icons including the iron cross here and another in the bedroom! This lovely old carved piece was found by my husband a few years ago at a fair in France and he fits perfectly onto this garden plinth. The smaller Madonna was bought to sell but I placed her here for Christmas, she will be for sale at some point though as I can’t keep everything! Time is ticking so I’m off to finish my tax return, always last minute! #cornerofmyhome #religiousicons #myhomestyle #mydarkhome

January 1st 2024 I have hardly posted on here this year as life just got in the way. I’ve had a lot of fun stalling at some lovely fairs, some solo and some with my @merchantstores special friends. I feel so grateful for all the friends I’ve made in this lovely community and the kindness I’ve been shown this year. We’ve started a few projects this year including the bathroom which was about 10 years overdue which led to 2 bedrooms being decorated. In Suffolk we had a porch built and finally the extension began after waiting many years! In September we lost Reg which really broke our hearts, he really was a special boy. Since then we’ve had a lot to cope with as a family. However I feel very positive about 2024 and very grateful for my wonderful family and friends. This year I’m actually going to update my website regularly as it’s been very neglected which means lots more posting on here! Thank you to anyone who’s bought from me this year it’s so much appreciated and I can’t wait to get selling! Happy new year to you all! #happynewyear #2023recap

Late as always! I finished the mantel last night and have added loads of gyp this time although it did look like there was a sprinkling of snow on the floor this morning! This was a little more stressful to do than last year as I hadn’t secured it properly and half of it fell off!! This is made with a base of chicken wire moulded roughly to the shape I wanted and then lots of tree offcuts shoved in. I then put on the wire lights and added twigs, eucalyptus and gypsophilia. I then made the bow from some cotton organdie as I love the crumpled look! Swipe to see with lights on. Now off to sort out the chaos of my house… #christmasmantel #christmasdecor #christmasmantelinspo #myhouseatchristmas #myhousethismonth #periodlivingxmas #myperiodhomestyle #farrowandballmolesbreath

Another view of my little tree in the bedroom. To be truthful the rest of the room is in chaos and most of the house! I started doing the mantel display last night but hadn’t secured it properly so half of it fell off! (Joanne @hardcastletowers I feel your pain!!) Anyway it’s nearly done and I will hopefully have a post up tomorrow unless it’s on the lounge floor! #christmasdecor #christmastree #myhousethismonth #myperiodhomestyle #periodlivingxmas #farrowandballdownpipe #farrowandballpurbeckstone
