This is my kind of bedroom! I found this gorgeous room whilst doing my daily bit of pinning on Pinterest … and it is completely my style as well as my favourite colours so I wanted to share it with my readers … I love the simple and strong lines on the furniture mixed with the patterened cushions and rug! Just love love love … I think grey is such a fantastic colour – if you hadn’t guessed by now it is one of my favourites! Mixing grey and teal provides a […] Continue reading →
I was given this gorgeous book for Christmas … Vintage Remix – The Interiors of Kishani Perera.

Not only are the images gorgeous, the book will walk you through, step-by-step, practical points to consider when putting a space together. Fundamentally, the idea of the book is to help you create a mix of old and new … a space […] Continue reading →
When you’re putting a space together it’s not always necessary to stick with just one style or one colour … mixing styles can be an excellent way to create an eclectic and stylish space. I’m a huge fan of mixing classical / vintage pieces with slightly more modern styles. I love this space below; it’s full of adventure and detail – the mix of vintage and new elements makes your eyes dart all over the space trying to take it all in! In this room the […] Continue reading →
Isn’t Benjamin Dhong’s home absolutely beautiful? Designer Dhong transformed his home in San Francisco to chic, sexy and bold – no two rooms are the same. He mixes textures, colours and interesting pieces of furniture to create rooms which are truly unique. The home feels a little bit dramatic in some spaces, but ultimately its fresh and distinctive.

I love the simplicity of these bookshelves … If you have space within a room a simple design such as the above picture will look impressive. A collection of books from floor to ceiling is a significant feature within any room – and a great way to tidy up and store any books you may need to attend to!

I hope you’ll enjoy reading my posts this year […] Continue reading →
Hi readers … apologies for my absence over the majority of December. I’d figured that things would calm down a bit and I’d be able to blog to my heart’s content … but (thankfully) no such luck … my projects have been going full-steam ahead and I’ve been running around like a headless chicken. All of the blogs I’ve been following have been super full of Christmas stuff and it is so gorgeous and inspiring. But as I sit and write this and look […] Continue reading →

Originally I wanted to today’s colour concept to be inspired by Christmas candy cane; you know – that sweet which is just so symbolic of the festive period. I was looking for a great shot of candy cane but then came across this beautiful photo which reminded me that Christmas and the festive season isn’t all about red and white! Here are some images I found which are so inspirational if you’re looking to create a not-so-traditional Christmas interior! So if […] Continue reading →
I stumbled upon Adam Levine’s home when I was reading Architectural Digest the other day. His bachelor pad is up in the Hollywood Hills, California, mixing sophistication with contemporary, but good taste. His home exudes an air of calm confidence. It’s filled with design classics such as Jean Prouvé, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Arne Jacobsen, and other 20th-century-design icons. I’ve never been a massive fan of this sort of style but this home has been pulled together […] Continue reading →
