Ben & Phoebe's Daybed


I recently helped my cousin and his gorgeous fiance {they just got engaged on the weekend} with the cushioning on this lovely daybed which they purchased from Cotswold for their beach house. We selected an array of brightly coloured exterior fabrics for the scatter cushions and a trusty navy and white stripe exterior fabric for the seat cushions and voila this is the result. I just love it and apparently they do too!!

this is beautiful.

Hi Janet, no we are not going to paint the floors in our new house. White floors are a complete nightmare to live with. They require constant cleaning. We may do a woodwash rubbed back kind of limewash sort of finish but I'm not sure yet. I love the look of white floors but with 2 children and 2 dogs I just can't live with the constant upkeep of them.

Hi Anna,
Love the classic Navy & White base with the addition of the gorgeous multi-coloured brights
(rather than the usual and more obvious combination of adding red & blue to navy & white)
You have inspired me (yet again!)
Thank you!
