Lost Afternoon

For me, a coffee table stacked high with interesting books is a dream come true! I could dwindle away hours flicking through the pages and this coffee table looks like the perfect afternoon. I especially love the bright tulips, circling the gold rim of the table. Swoon.

Happy Friday!

Creative Search

Pinterest is a constant source of creative information for me. Whether I’m on the search for the perfect festive table setting or for inspiration for ongoing projects, Pinterest never lets me down. This month has been no different, and I’ve come …

Pink Shade

The best way to describe my relationship with this lamp shade? Love at first sight.

Maybe it’s the explosion of colour against the grey wall, or the orange squiggly cord…whatever it is, I think it’s the perfect combination of quirky and fun.

Mirrored Wall

When you’ve got a small space, mirrors are perfect . They add depth to a room and make it appear larger than it actually is. I’ve recently began collecting art deco mirrors from charity and junk shops so that I can build up a gallery wall of mirrors.

I love the mirrors in the bathroom, tilted on the shelf all happy!

It’s Happening

I know, it’s perhaps a little too early but let’s not fight it any longer…it’s time for a little Christmas inspiration!

If you’re looking for a lovely way of decorating your side table or just filling a vase with something visually beautiful, then look no further than this! You can collect the branches on a weekend walk and then decorate the branches with stunning glass baubles.

I must admit, I love the pastel colour scheme. Yum.

Mint & Stripe

These two images have been a huge source of inspiration for me this week – beautiful hand painted panels with a minty pop of colour and a gallery wall surrounding a striking stripe settee.

Would you have either of these bold statements in your home?

Happy Tuesday!

Crystal Light

I spent a lovely afternoon on Saturday under an ornate ceiling which was adorned with beautiful crystal chandeliers. Swoon.

I wrote this post a few months ago that gained inspiration from decorated ceilings and thought that now would be the perfect opportunity to put together a chandelier post to kick off the week with…
