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.......;)

Inspired Likes

Welcome to my blog :)
The heading says it all! Inspired likes is about everything that makes me who I am. It's about all the lovely things that I come across on the web and how it makes me feel....and how it inspires me. I love all things beautiful and interesting. I have folders full of beautiful images and great ideas so I thought it is time to share with alike minded people.

Here you will find a mixture of all the things that inspire me, photography, my children, decor, illustrations, everything that makes me pause for a little while and dream. Life is so hectic these days, do you take the time to smell the pretty flowers you just picked and put on your hall stand? My blog helps me slow down and appreciate what people out there are doing to make the their lives a little more colourful and joyful with all the madness that is happening in the world.

Below are the two men in my life - the little lady is on her way :) My main stream of inspiration comes from my family - I live to make life a little more colourful and beautiful for them. Life is precious and so is family - we need to cherish one another and never stop loving.
