    Hi! I love the plates, I wish to have more empty walls and can I ask you what paint did you use for the pebbles?

      Thank you, I just used some emulsion that we already had left over, it seemed to work pretty well though! xx

      Thanks Rebecca, the mirror was a boot sale find. We've been trying to get all our pictures and bits up now we've nearly finished all the decoating. xx

      Thank you Col, I can't really take much credit for the plate wall as Elizabeth drew them all and I just hung them up for her. It was lovely to do something together though and she was so excited to see them going up on display. xx

      Thanks Rachel, I used sticky plate discs on the back, can't remember who makes them but found those on eBay and they're really good, they don't come off again unless you soak them off. I used command sticky hooks to put them up with too which are great, just pull them off when you dont need them and they don't leave any marks. I use them everywhere! Thanks for your lovely comments, have a lovely weekend xx

    Oh my, so many gorgeous things here! Love the plate wall. Elizabeth shares your creative talents I see! And the pebbles dipped in paint are so clever and effective.

    But I just love your collection of pictures. Where did you get the one with the daisies on the top left? It's gorgeous.

    So many lovely things in this post Caroline. My heart skipped a beat when I saw your hexagon mirror, what a lovely piece. The plates are a lovely idea; so creative and a lovely way for Elizabeth to showcase her art. The pastel pebbles are just adorable, they look so great on the dark stones. And your picture wall, well it makes me want a picture wall. x
