Gorgeous Country Home

This stunning home belongs to Caroline Scheeler and was recently featured in Country Living. I have fallen in love with the dark colours against the crisp white and this kitchen is a beautiful example of how well dark walls and white accents work together. The colour of the walls is Ralph Lauren "Mercer" paint and the marble chosen because it will age.

What a lovely place to sit and watch the world go by! The coffee table can be bought here in Australia at Orson & Blake.

This has to be the idea of the week! These panels were rescued from an old Horse stable and pair up well with an antique French gilded mirror...and I love the reflection!!

As you can see Caroline is Equestrian mad. I love the fact that it is not little statues and kitsch horse things every where. She has worked out a wonderful balance of showing what she loves...with style!
Gorgeous!!!
The Belgian sofa is an antique. It has been matched up reclaimed and new reproduction pieces. They all look wonderful together.

I am not usually a fan of animal prints, but I can take it here. The Italian headboard reminds me of Brooke Giannetti's home.
Panelling in a bathroom always looks stylish, and I love it around this bath.
The fact that Caroline travels the world for her job is evident in all of the well chosen vignettes she has around her home. This one features a vintage Italian sunburst mirror, a foot of an old claw foot bath and suitcases she has picked up at a Belgian flea market.
I just love it!
Oh - the Church wasn't that bad =0). I give you a before and after when I have finished.

..but at the moment the kids are cuddled in front of this fire in our bedroom sleeping, Lamb is in the oven cooking and I am about to have a cup of coffee while I sketch.
The weekend is looking good already. Hope you have a good one too.
