It seems I really do have a thing for sunflowers this week! This weekend we visited some fine friends for a slice of birthday cake and cheer. I’m always in awe of this amazing house, it makes you feel suddenly at ease the moment you step over the threshold. The atmosphere is calming, the décor…well I find it hard to describe it so a few keywords will have to do: zen, harmonious, peaceful, relaxing, exciting.
This photo was taken in the living room, an amazingly comfortable place to relax, the beautiful Buddha’s head sits atop a wood burner, there are tapestries adorning the walls and sofas you just won’t want to leave! Oh, and a gorgeous sunflower too!
As you can see the living room is a place of harmony and peace. These flowers really caught my eye, so delicate and vibrant. I’m not really a flower fan, honest! I see them all around me but I never take much notice. But these were beautiful and I couldn’t resist snapping them!
Okay, one last photo! This from the kitchen, on the side of the fridge.
Guaranteed to raise a smile!

LOL Love the quote!
Hehe, made me smile when I saw it!
I’m a sucker for a well loved (and tended) flower. ohhhh the sunflower is superb!
I didn’t want to bore any of you with endless shots of flowers, they have so many in wonderful features in their home but I thought sharing just a few was enough.
Great shots and decorating… I envy people who can transform the look of a room beyond it being a container of furniture.
You never take any notice of the room itself as a square box because of the decor, truly inspiring and oh so calming and graceful.
Love the flowers, love the quote and love their decorating style! I wanna sit in their living room 🙂
I didn’t want to leave their sitting room! I won’t even get started on the lovely Christmas day we had there, all snug and cosy, filled with happy faces and laughter!
Such warm and inviting photos! Your routine sounds wonderful – wish I had one .
Thanks Patti! I think we appreciate life a little better when we see such harmonious settings, something to aspire to I think.
Right now the fields are adorned with tons of yellow little flowers that looks like miniature sunflowers. They remind me much of the ‘kosmos’ in South Africa except that those are white and pink/purple shades – like the little white flower in the arrangement. They grow wild as well and yes, also between autumn and winter. Where we are it is now also between autumn and winter – simply gorgeous!
