One of my absolutely fave blogs is pi'lo by Canadian, Heather Shaw.

She has the most extraordinarily simple and beautiful style and creates glorious homewares, children's treasures and 'things' from mostly creamy white linen and felt and other vintage materials.

There is something so serene and inviting about Heather's blog, house and homewares. No wild colour clashes here, which is something I've been trying to harness myself.

I would say my natural inclination is to stay with a 'clean' palette although some of the fabrics I fall for just send it all awry. Although I know this is perfectly acceptable and that I can have whatever colours I like it does upset my preferred style. Funny though that I like to wear brigher colours than I would ever have in my house!

My aim this year is to whittle the stash down to a more calm colour wheel.
Poppytalk is hosting an annual contest to find the best of design and pi'lo has been nominated for the 'favourite handmade housewares'. I placed a vote for Heather today and if you'd like to help her out please pop over here and click on pi'lo. Easy! I'm sure she'd be pleased!
