I likes Etsy

Here are some pretty things that I found over at Etsy......I really wish I could crochet already - my son and I love collecting stones and pebbles down at the beach, one day i'll get there but until then you can find these cute stones at the little shop Monicaj

Some air plants at the shop Tohold.....I like the colours and that you don't need to water them everyday :)

Some prints below at AmandaRaek's shop

Im in love!

Oh my.....how I wish I could have my own home already! I'm in wall paper heaven tonight, I absolutely love this wall paper by Piet Hein Eek - I first came across this idea on an Anthropologie advert and instantly fell in love - Ever since then I've been wondering where to find all the little pieces of scrap wood......NOW, I can just order the wall paper over at Bodie and Fou! Aaaah - happiness!

Loving the headboard

Gee - I came across this gorgeous bedroom on Style Files. I just love the feel of this bedroom - so clean and simple. Beautiful!!! Don't you love the print behind the bed? The grey doors are also very very nice :)

Inspired spaces for little faces

My little Rose has finally arrived and she is absolutely perfect!!! Here are some inspired spaces for little people. I love the paper pom pom flowers. If you want to make some here is the DIY link :)

Norwegian Interiors

I'm really loving the interior spaces and style in Norway. Here are some of my favourite finds....

The above is home in Norway, the photo is by Nina Ruud and I found the image on the blog, From Scandinavia with love. I love the white floors and the mix of colour and retro style in the furniture.

The pictures below are from the Decor8blog. The house belongs to an interior blogger Siw Haveland. I love the bedroom!!!!

Dont you just love the simplicity of the entrance hall - I love the bench and I'm so in love with the crochet throws on the bed!!!!

The images below were shot by the talented Trine Thorson. I just LOVE the style in this house, I could seriously see myself living in such a beautiful space!

I like - Im inspired - I love - I want

Geepers - I have been without electricity, hot water, internet and a stove for almost 2 days now! It's absolutely crazy not being able to turn on a light or open my lap top. But on the other hand, I spent the entire day in the garden, we planted some beautiful little flowers, I finally used all my collected shells to make some wall art and even took the dogs - our crazy dogs - for a much needed walk. I've also started chrochet classes recently - I really want to get off my procrastinating toosh and finally start doing the things I love - take more photographs, get creative and just make and update things that I love. Speaking about things that I love, I found the most perfect little drawer set this weekend at the vintage market - will post some pics later but now I found some more inspiring stuff......Have a look for yourself :)

A little village - It's so cute - I can imagine these little houses in my little Rose bud's cot. When you finsihed reading my blog go and oogle over the etsy shop that belongs to Syko there are some really amazing creations there :) I love reading the Decor8blog, I get soooooo much inspiration there, my whole outlook on decor has changed since I stumbled across it. Today Holly Becker wrote an article on Heather Anderson's farmhouse in Michigan. I love the style there. Anyway, on her blog you will find a tutorial to make the frame below - I love it!

Here is some more inspiration from my favorite blog.......The pics are from an industrial chic loft in Buenos Aires which belongs to Karina Manghi. Her photography is stunning and so inspiring! I'm also so in love with the pink bed and the crochet throw in her loft...mmmmm Happiness

Where would we be without colour

imagine living in a world without colour, living in a space that has no personality - where everything is white. I was once obsessed with having everything in my surroundings as white as can be, I would day dream over white interior spaces, everything in shades of white, creams and greys....... but that has all changed - I need colour now.
Nothing so bright that you would need to purchase yourself a new pair of gucci sunglasses - could be a good excuse though ;) but something still along the clean fresh lines where you have a white backdrop but with splashes of colour here and there. You need to have a balance of all the elements in a room and not just become lost in a white canvas.

Here is some colour inspiration

The pillows above are from Skinny laMinx - they sell for R220 each, they would compliment any white couch or piece of furntiure.







Dont you just love the headboard above! I could so easily see myself making something like that.......;)
