PRETTY

image: the little corner
these lights with the shades are very pretty. i like them against the book pages on the wall, i think it prevents it being too girly. what do you think?

HOUSE DOCTOR SPRING 2013 INSPIRATION

i stumbled across 'house doctor' while perusing the decor8 blog and i love it. industrial details, type, bell jars, timber tabletops...whats not to love? unfortunately they don't have any dealers in australia but the images are lovely anyway! they have heaps of lovely things for the home, including furniture, home decor, linen, accessories, lighting etc.

who doesn't love a wire basket?

 upholstered bed, type prints on the cushions, throws, wire basket with a demijohn, pendant lights with exposed globes. i love how the upholstered bedhead and the cushions and throws soften the industrial look so it is more cozy.

BLACK & WHITE # 1

image: bright bold & beautiful
timber herringbone floors with white furniture, a string of carnival lights, a freestanding industrial lamp, a stack of pictures including a typographic print, sheepskins, a log and a branch to take out some formality. i love the black and white with the natural elements.

COLOURS I LOVE


images: 79 ideas
pink and orange are amongst my favourite colours and typically i go for really strong, rich versions of these colours. i do quite like that the colours in these images are not overwhelming but are still a feature. i particularly love the second image, with the lining boards, timber shelf, orange lamp, the blossoms and the rug on the back of the chair. the balance in the neutral tones used in the other cushions prevents the colour becoming overwhelming.

the prettiness in the first image is something also that i am drawn to, with the french style armchair, chandelier, cushion details, rug and the ceiling.
