Gingham, Union Jack, Crochet, Florals, Spotty, Linen cupboard, Applique, Tea Pastels and Boho are the words that BHS use to descibe their new homeware called ‘Maison Vintage’  Within this collection are three key looks; British, Fifties Bliss & Linen Cupboard. The looks are spot on with the key trends for this A/W especially 50′s Bliss.  I think the over all look is really pretty, especially the crochet cushions with the little birds in the 50′s collection.  And I love the trays in the British collection.

The pricing isn’t bad either, something that BHS always seem to get right. Click here to see the full range

If you get a chance then grab a copy of the September issue of Homes & Gardens as there is a lovely feature called ‘Country Chapel’ on page 109.  The owners live in a converted a chapel and have lots of vintage/country accessories as seen in the pictures above.

If you want some help on how to create this look then I would suggest buying the following book by Cath Kidston.  It’s only pocket size and one of my favourites.

I think this a great little book by Terence Conran, published by Conran Octopus.  The first thing that appeals to me is the size.  Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love chunky coffee table books, but how refreshing to see something so stylish produced in a bite size package, and, to be able to take it out and about with you; something that comes in handy if you are working on a decorating project.

Then of course, there is the content.  I think this book covers just about every aspect of home design, from clearing out the clutter to utilising redundant space in your home (a problem that effects most of us!).  There is a section dedicated to storage, which in my opinion is the secret to happiness!  You can click here to order the book from Amazon for £8.59 and if you buy it, do let me know what you think…
