Fresh & Fabulous

Freshen up the house for Spring, I love ringing the change of seasons in simple ways; fresh seasonal flowers, taking down heavy winter curtains, changing art work around, putting heavy dark frames away and keeping out lighter ones; and of course fresh coloured cushions, all these little changes signal warmer days aren't far away.

h&g Spring/Summer '10 Inspiration

The inspiration for hope & glory for the upcoming seasons of warmth and sunshine (fingers crossed!) is 50's pastels and english florals. How do I make the decisions for the shop's direction? Its all about what I'm loving right now! This feels like the most authentic way to lead the shop, especially, as from the beginning I decided to only stock things I love and would have in my own home.

So to give you a visual idea of my inspiration, without further ado....


50's inspired pastels and brights
