Black&White

It's all about Black & White this afternoon. Decorating a room or entire home in black and white is so clean and sharp looking.




So in love with the double bed head and the ribbon tied around the lampshades... definitely going to try that one.

JuJu Headdresses

First saw these gorgeous chicken feather wall hangs, better known as JuJu Headdresses in the gift store at Flying Nun in Samford. I fell in love. These are actually traditional head pieces made and worn by African tribes. Not only a great statement for any room, but a great talking point. 
Available in different colours and sizes.


I'm pretty obsessed with funky cushions at the moment. Love... love these!

Turning pallets into furniture.

These pictures show how easy it is to turn something like an old palette into easy, moveable furniture. I especially love the coffee table. The rustic looking table is softened with purples.

DIY #1

Every now and then I will post some great DIY projects for your home. Scrounge your local second hand store for some old bottles. Go all out and search the beach for your own shells or buy them. Why not tie some twine around the neck of these bottles and hang a rustic key with an attached note, could make one very cute and unique present to a friend. Stay tuned for the next DIY project. Oh...and please let me know if anyone gives these sea shell bottles a go. I'd love to know how they turn out.

When the Wind Blows the Cradle Will Rock.

Since I have many friends who have recently had babies or are due to have babies, I couldn't see a better time to show you my favourite nursery designs. My sister-in-law is due to have her second baby (boy we think) in 6 months, and she had asked my help to design the room. 

We have decided on grey as the base colour with lime green as the feature. I was thinking a theme of owls would go nicely. Here are some pictures that have inspired this design.

For mum.

Lately mum and I have been discussing what lights she should hang over her kitchen bench. Well here you go mum... I hope these images inspire you!
p.s.. I love how the kitchen can create so much fun and heart felt love.

Beach

For a long time I have debated beach or bush. But from these pictures, I think these quiet, soft and comfy cottages are winning me over to the beach. I picture myself sitting on the porch drinking wine and listening to classical music with my husband. And taking short bike rides to the local produce market. This is how I imagine my beach cottage to look...
