A new discovery…

I was browsing online for Christmas presents… for the family… ok, maybe I might have been looking for presents for me! Anyways, I came across a beautiful framed print (from John Lewis of all places) and it was love at first sight! I did a little research and found out that it was done by Wiltshire-based artist Sally Swanell. If you asked me to conjure up a picture of my dream home, it would look a little something like Sally Swanell’s prints – the little red brick chimneys, sprawling grounds and dormer windows have been plucked right out of my dream home fantasies!  The Christmas prints are particularly charming but my favourite has got to be the ‘Manor House’ in the 2nd picture below…

  10. I like the first house but I also like the lived-in feel of the indoor pics - the chaos yet warmth of Christmas.
