Looking at the Moon

I'm not sure why but I seem to get a lot of random emails. I'm not really someone who forwards them on, but these photos of the moon are amazing. Such a creative idea. I love them so much and wish I would think of these things.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Sunday's touch of bling #2

While this room is probably something I would never have in my own home, I do like the gold bling. I love the thick slab table top seamingly floating. The art work behind the table is amazing, and probably the thing I would love to have in my home.

Today lovers, that all I have to leave you with..

Weekend project inspiration #1

Ok so I know it's kind of cheating because I don't think you could buy it as a single item - but I am loving this idea from Martha Stewart as seen at PVE design. So simple and lovely. I'm going to hunt down some bottles. Maybe it could be a little project for the weekend. I think the thrift shops would be the place to start for the smaller bottles, but something new for the hurrican vase. Has anyone out there tried to replicate this? Let me know!

The She-bang-a-bang

OMG! I thought that I loved the George side table by Oly from Coco Republic that I posted about a few weeks ago, but my heart is now torn for another love. Its tough being a lover, and today I blame Coco Kelly.. what a beautiful table. How can one choose?? The designer obviously has a unique perspective. I love it. I'm not too sure how my two year old would go with it though.. That aside, I checked out other designs here from Matthew studios and loved this light. If only I owned a house that would do it justice.

Sunday's touch of bling #1

I love everything about this picture. The clean join between the ceiling and walls - an ornate cornice might have been too much I think, I love the simple wall decoration, and the black paint in the book case. I love how the size and colours of the painting are mirrored in the bookshelf - joining the two living areas. Mostly though I love todays little piece of bling - the gold table topped with glass. So beautiful. Thanks to Pink Wallpaper for sharing.

Blue Velvet lust

Kelly Green blog

It must have been the SITC couch that did it, but now everytime I see blue velvet furniture I go weak at the knees. So today a little touch of blue. (and a slight hint of green) I wonder if I could convince Mr Husband of a blue velvet Chesterfield... oh we dream lovers!

Blue and Green for the lovers

When i was a little one I remember loving blue. I wsant really a girly girl so not really into the pinks and reds. The thing that seem to dictate the clothes and toys I was given was the fact that my sister was on 15 months older than me, so if we got a present, it was generally the same or similar but in a different colour. Lately i have seen lots of blue and green that I love, particulalry in clothes but interiors too. I think it was a skirt by Kate Spade (who I have a girl crush on )that started it all, unfortunately now of course I cant find a picture anywhere. But it was a full pleated skirt with white blue and green stripes of diffrent widths, teamed with a thin belt. The ultimate lady like skirt for spring. ahhh

Another example more close to home is the new season David Lawrence dress that has the same colours going. I think it looks almost like a sateen fabric, not in store last time I checked so I cant confirm.

The block colours of the season really seem to be complemented with blues and greens and then orange and reds. I'm loving it all. And the weather today makes me want to go out there and buy a new wardrobe of blue and green!

note to self

Interiors on the other hand, should still remain classic (or at least classy) in their colour combinations. i certainly wouldnt be keen for the same stripe affect on my walls at home. However - beautiful blue intriors have always held a fond place in my heart.

And i am so sorry but I have lost the reference for this striking room. Loving the skirting board / wall contrast and the fact that the ceilings were kept flush and simple.
