We spent Halloween with my sister Brenda, her husband Jimmy, their three children, Casey, Dara and Rowan, two cats, one dog and a fish at their home in Kildangan, Co Kildare.
Brenda, describe your home style in three words. Strong colour, natural materials, eclectic, whimsical. Yes I do know that’s more than three : )
Best thing about your home? The size, it’s big and spacious.
Favourite possession? Changes on a daily basis, right now it’s our new book wallpaper in the hallway.
Best things to do or see in Kildare? Kildare Village, Newbridge Shopping Centre, Japanese Gardens, I could go on and on and on…
Oh hello Sheila! Treasured childhood friend of Brenda…
Brenda’s chidren, the boy Dara, the girl in the hat Casey, the wee one in Adrian’s arms, Rowan and our children bar one, Saoirse in plaits and denim and Sadhbh in smiles and cream. Shaylyn missing.
Brenda’s book wallpaper’s a dream. Just stunning.
But then so is this beautiful dresser…
My sisters house? In a nutshell, colourful, warm, quirky, cosy…
How does it differ from mine? Brenda loves and embraces strong colour, much stronger than I’d normally go for.
She has a confident, characterful style, she loves dark, whimsy, circus and drama and that’s why Halloween is perfect for her. She has great style, very confident. Think yellow tulips or sunflowers on a natural wood table with red and blue accents and that is my sister.
Wow Jane you did a great job, the house looks amazing and tidy! It was a great nite xxx
It’s a case of not seeing the woods for the trees I’d say Brenda, looks great through someone else’s eyes : ) At least your’re happy sis : )
Jane,
Hope your holiday was fun fun fun. Little ones had their fill. And you enjoyed yo.ur sister, her house, and her family too. I loved the doll and the bookcases too
Love,
Shalagh
Great website Jane
Thanks Alison, hope all’s well with you : )
