Traditional Interior - With Minimalistic Touches

I love any excuse to decorate and decorating for Christmas was great fun, better still, hearing one friend say that my living room looked like something out of House and Garden was the best compliment I could receive.  However, as I'm in the process of removing my Christmas trimmings, I realised how busy my living room had begun to look. I only have a small space so it's very difficult when you love beautiful things not to go overboard and thereby end up creating a cluttered look. Looking around this year, I definitely felt I may have overdone the decorations. How can one create a country feeling with less clutter you may wonder.

Yesterday I came across a pretty country style interior, an early Victorian semi detached home in London. These traditional homes normally have the downstairs rooms separate. Usually a front sitting room leading off the hall, then a dining room and a rear kitchen. However, this semi has been opened up by knocking out internal ground floor walls thereby creating a large open plan living area with french doors to a pretty garden.  I love that the owners have brought in traditional furnishing but kept a minimalistic feel. In  this case I do think "less is more," what do you think?

Hope your Christmas and New Year have given you chance to wind down to a nice relaxed state.

A Reflection of 2012 - & Most Popular Posts

Looking back at 2012 it's been one of the toughest of my life. Watching my mother lose her battle with cancer, my life has virtually been on hold. However, this blog "Lee Caroline - A World of Inspiration", has kept me going, it has been an inspiration not just for my readers but for myself too. LC has been an outlet for my semi starved, creative side, a place to share the wonderful interiors, recipes, art, crafts and DIY I discover in my daily trips around the Internet. More importantly, I've  discovered a world of wonderful and caring people, total strangers that drop by from afar taking time to comment on a postm and people giving encouragement, sharing a little of their lives with you. I just want to say, you have no idea how much this has meant to me. I have not met you personally, but I've felt encouraged and uplifted and at times consoled through the comments and sometimes personal emails I get from those who have been touched in some way by something they have read or seen on my blog.

2013 will be a new year for me, a new beginning and I have vowed to spend equal time on my blog and my painting. I'm finally purchasing that elusive DSLR in February. My new camera will enable me to share high quality images of homes and beautiful things that I see in New Zealand. I am quite excited about this and have lots of great posts planned.  Looking back over 2013 I've made a short list of some of my most viewed posts to share again. I want to thank everyone for their support throughout 2012 and I wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

Merry Xmas - Welcome to My Living Room

Well, its finally here, Christmas day in New Zealand, one day ahead of most of you. The aroma of my roast Turkey with cranberries and walnuts fills the air, my mini Christmas mince pies are ready, and the table is set with some of my mothers beautiful vintage silver and china. This will be my first Christmas without my mother, I miss her terribly but I'm sure she's watching over. So, while I'm waiting  for my guests to arrive I thought my readers might like a quick tour of my living room on Christmas day...

Oh and Poppy wants to wish all my readers a very Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year. I'll be  having a break for a few days but will be back later this week. You can still catch up with snippets on my Face Book page.

Christmas Tablescape - French Style With A Touch Of Silver

The other week I was wandering around Le Monde, one of my favourite Auckland homeware stores. First I was awed by a gorgeous room setting with accents of a deep, lime green, then I spotted their beautiful Christmas tablescapes. Le Monde is one of those stores you can't resist walking into, displayed cleverly into room settings, but never cluttered, I'm always inspired by the ever changing colours and designs.  A few weeks ago I was inspired by their blue and white setting and dashed home to bring more blue and white into my sitting room. Today I feel inspired by another of their beautiful settings with accents of lime green and seriously thinking about introducing touches of this colour into my living area next Winter. 

While I was browsing, I spotted two gorgeous Christmas tablescapes which Le Monde kindly let me photograph. Today I'm sharing a silver tablescape, with a French feel, and tomorrow, one a little more rustic, I hope they  inspire your own table this Christmas.  If you live in Auckland and you haven't visited Le Monde, I encourage you to visit this beautiful shop. oh! and its right next to La Cigale French Market, so makes a great Saturday morning shopping and eating ☺

Hope you've been inspired, please come back tomorrow as I will be sharing Le Monde's gorgeous rustic table setting, sneak peek below.
