One page at a time...

Oooh, I've found a delightful (new) book... wanna see?

I'm reading it one page at a time. Savouring each new pic and reading every word... It's called 'Reclaiming Style'. It's by a couple who run a business in England called Retrouvius (I nearly typed in retrovirus there - again the science lurks - oops!). And the book is all about using reclaimed/salvaged materials in building and renovating. They make gorgeous, and I mean GORGEOUS, homes!

So, I make a cuppa and settle down to savour the pages. Whilst eating my third scotch finger of the day, yep I'm a rebel all right! This page is so far my favourite...

I love the light in the space. The white, ah the white. Just a little touch of blue (and such a blue it is!). The raw finish; open framework. The lines of the furniture. The natural elements; wooden floor, branches to decorate. Ahhh. So lovely.

And then I look up to take a sip of tea... and look around me ;-) And reality returns! But just for a moment (or a few moments), I'm in this world of white, wood and 'rusticism'. And I'm loving it all. One page at a time. Not wasting any words, just like they're not wasting any materials...

Best bit of all; I've another lovely book to savour when this one's done! This one is about op-shopping, or thrifting. And don't we all love a bit of that around here?! I've a surfeit of books about the place at the mo, must have been a birthday recently :-) There are bonuses apparently!

Now, I'm going back to my tea and book... see you on the other side (of the week)...
