I played in this on Sunday:

I wasn't exaggerating when I told you that the play house is as much mine as my daughter's! I decided to poke my nose into it to make sure it was wintering well (and it was) and when Sophie caught wind of what I was doing she duly followed me inside. Although it was fairly cold, we had a lovely little meal of (plastic) spaghetti and meat sauce, replete with crusty bread and smoothies. She tossed in some plastic strawberries and cherries into her toy blender, and within seconds we were (pretend) sipping on a seriously delicious drink. I held her baby while she cooked and the sun coming in the peak's window warmed me as I pretended to eat and care for my toy grandchild. I didn't feel at all silly, as the joy she got from rediscovering her playhouse was contagious. She had forgotten this, and had wondered where that had been...she was in her element.
And I was in mine.

Twenty cold toes later (we took off our boots to protect her hardwood floors - like every good Canadian does), and we headed inside for some real hot chocolate.
The next day, when the sky was dropping snow and freezing rain upon us, she asked if we could do it all over again...
The grown-up in me declined.
I don't particularly like frozen toes...
So I "ate" this instead:

Anyway, Atlanta is an interiors stylist who works with her husband, designer Dave Coote. They own The Beach Studios, an agency in the UK that provides shoot spaces for the film, photographic and television industries.






Love the floors & the round window (below):



I've been noticing these shalves lately that go accross the whole wall. Wouldn't this be the best place for an ever-changing display?!!
The table (below) is so perfectly worn:
Hutch-love (below):
"A separate living room with an inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove." The wood nook (below) is on my list of things that is definitely happening in my house (as soon as I get one! ;) I just love the warmth it adds to a room & it's so incredibly functional too. 

"A generous hallway and a tiled scullery. All other floors downstairs are dark stained fumed oak boards." I love the tongue-and-groove walls & ceilings!!!
How beautiful is this little marble-topped console?!
I just love the mood of all of the spaces in this house.
"Upstairs offers 3 bedrooms for photography. Bedroom one has an antique iron bedstead, windows on 3 sides and pale grey painted floorboards. " I want to go on vacation here. WOW How could you worry about anything here??!!
I LOVE all the windows in this bedroom. It's like a treehouse! I really can't get over it. It's amazing.
And what a beautiful idea with the baskets under the bed for pretty storage:
"Bedroom two has a french antique carved wood bed head, Neisha Crosland wallpaper on one wall and pale grey painted floorboards. " I often see wallpaper in these "attic" rooms & I think it does a lot for the small spaces. Put behind the bed the way it is done, below, makes the bed the focal point & also adds some height to the wall.
"Bedroom 3 has original beams, and an upholstered bed head covered in original 18th century embroidered linen and painted bone wood floor."
Again, loving all the white (below) and the books make this space for me:

















Well, I hope you've enjoyed this peak at Atlanta Bartlett's work & I will be showing lots more if it in the next few weeks/ months/ however long it takes me to share it all (because it's all this amazing!!) hope everyone had a great weekend!!
