Domino Love

I love everything about this little nook of a room, the french doors, the botanical prints, the chairs, the fabric on the cushions... love at first sight

I love the bedding in this pic - the use of colour against all the different textures in white, it's so pretty and modern.

Black and white is always a fabulous idea. I love how it's used quite sparsely in the above pic, but with such impact. I love the splash of pink too.

Ooh, swoon. I can't wait for the day when my house will look half as stylish as all these great spaces.

Personal manifesto

I love inspiration boards and am currently gathering pieces to put one together, but I equally love this idea - the Personal Manifesto! The very talented Mark Pavey designed this. Isn't it fabulous! What would yours say?

Mine might say something along the lines of:

Relax - it's ok the house isn't clean

Worrying about something? Will it matter 12 months from now?

You are loved by a handsome very kind man, you are a very lucky girl!

Red lipstick is always a good idea

Do you what you love

Every day is a gift, savour each moment.

...

I don't know, something like that, but using more witty and inspiring words.

Personal manifesto found at mustard and sage.

When I have a baby...

I'm announcing it with style, which will hopefully involve letterpress and gorgeous graphics like the one above created by Mandate Press. I love it!

Happy Weekend Friends!

Hi Friends,

Hope you're having a great weekend. I was going to do some painting - but there may be another dust storm approaching.. and I'm not really going for any red earthy tones in my cream paint for our bedroom.

Lucky for me my lovely friend Mel gave me a call and we caught up and I lavished attention on her gorgeous baby Trent. On our way around the shops I found Roman Holiday on dvd - so excited!!

I'm due for a holiday at the moment (but I haven't got one planned yet) so I'm going to watch it and hopefully it will transport me back to when Ben and I were Italy last year. Plus, a bit of Audrey is good any time!

Have a good one

Needle felted birds

How gorgeous are these? These felted birds are made by the very talented Lauren Alane. The handmade creations are so popular that they sell out within minutes of being listed in her Etsy shop. To grab one, add you name to the mailing list and be quick to the shop when she lists them.

I don't know about you, but the love birds in the first pic is probably the cutest cake topper I've ever seen! If only I'd discovered this before I got married!! Surely I could decorate a cake with them on our anniversary??

Crochet curtains

LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE!!
