Inspiration

I've been a bit absent as I'm not feeling too well lately.  This cosy looking chair in this gorgeous light filled study cheered me up a little.  That painted wallpaper is rockin'.

Real Living Finalist

I'd forgotten that a while back I sent come pics of our kitchen to Real Living for their 'Win A Stylist' competition.    That is until the lovely Jo in Melbourne left me a comment congratulating me, upon which I went for a little dig through the pile of mail that had accumulated during our holiday.  How funny!  There is my little patch of wallpaper on Page 51!

We had such a lovely time away in Byron Bay.   I will be posting some pics of our adventures and a few new purchases soon.

Today I'm loving....

...this yellow patterned wallpaper used in the home of Helen and David from Signature Prints.  Lucy has done an inspiring tour of their home over at The Design Files.

New goodies from Ferm

I found myself looking at the Ferm Living website recently after a bit of an absence.  They have some lovely new things.  I adore this wallpaper! Although not sure if it's available in Australia yet. 

These vintage looking kids wallpapers are awesome. 

I am also liking the new kids bedding ranges.

And this super cute dollhouse!

A foxy little cushion

And one can never have too many glamorous tea towels....

So pretty. Marimekko wallpaper rocks.

Study

I am planning a re-do of our bomb-site study.  Loads and loads of storage is required, so I no longer have an excuse to stand at the door, throw and run.   I'm toying with the idea of a dark, statement wallpaper with a few floating shelves as a bit of a 'Hey! Look at me!' as you walk through our front door (it's the first room you walk past).   Is that loopy?  Will I want to put rocks in my pockets and throw myself into the nearest river when I wake up the next morning and wonder what I've done?

Check out this from Skona Hem.  It's from the same house as my dream kitchen inspiration.  Not sure if dragon wallpaper (this one is by Osborne and Little) is a bit to asian-y for me....but I do like the feel.  And the timber shelving.

 How about some cockatoos by Catherine Martin?

Or something more subtle, like Woods by Cole and Sons?

Shown here with white floating shelves, a la our study.

I also like Bindweed by Ferm Living.  Currently on sale for $80 per roll! Tempting.

 I am also contemplating something a little different on the lighting front.  Maybe the St Paul Belle Light by Lightly?

A cluster of globe lights from Koskela? (apologies for dodgy image)

The Criss Cross by Bernabeifreeman?  In white.  Or yellow?

Or a Nelson Bubble wall lamp from Spence and Lyda.

Ooooh la la.  So many decisions.  So much fun!
