Aqua Me This

Rachel is a newly married twentysomething living with her husband, M, in Somerset, England. Having lived in London for 6 years, they are new to country living but getting used to it. M sells fine wine; Rachel blogs, makes bunting and takes photographs of everything on her phone. Together they are trying to turn their rented cottage into domestic bliss.

We have this poster from the Design Museum in London on the wall above our bed. It’s a print of a photograph by Tim Walker of Lily Cole and I love it. I adore the colour, a sort of aqua, eggshell blue and I love she looks a little like a peacock (our wedding theme) and that it looks a little Moroccan too (one of our favourite holidays). It’s also fashion-y but not so much that Husband would object.

Last week I was browsing vintage goodies on line when I came across this blanket. I fell in love with it immediately, the colour, the style, the material. It’s made in England from 100% wool and beautiful. And perfectly matches our print. Best of all, it was on sale. I emailed it to Husband. Who loved it too. So we ordered it and it arrived this morning. And is just as gorgeous in real life.
