Thursday evening DIY: Clock work

Take two FAB shops that most people can't live without (in Sweden at least); IKEA and H&M. Not brands you'd normally pair together. But hot on the blog rounds this week are these clever interior design ideas using IKEA's BONDIS clock and a H&M leather belt.

The pretty London home of Parma Lilic owner

This London home of Janie Jackson, owner of shop Parma Lilac is just so beautiful *sigh*. So simple, so light, so me! And I love the photographic style.

I remember reading an article about how to produce this type of effect with a camera, and one way is to cover the lens with a pair of thin denier tights, yes, I know! Worth a try anyway?! Unless you know of a slightly more modern app?

Happy Monday by the way. I hope you had a lovely weekend?!

Perfect prints for the home

This afternoon I am loving 'Shhh my darling' prints by Italian duo Jenny and Gra.

If you have a mo pop over and check out their web shop. I particularly love these cushions. In my mind you can never have too many cushions, in my husband's mind we already have too many cushions.....can you see my dilemma?!

White space with beautiful displays

Since this week has accidentally become about ways to display your nearest and dearest objects (pictures, dolls, your pets!), I thought this shop, Le Petit Salon in Bulgaria could definitely teach us a few things. It's such a beautiful space and uses so many different tricks. Maybe a trip to Sofia is in order!

New year shopping inspiration

Aaaa such a lovely white and wood room. It feels like 2012 is a lifetime away although it's in a mere 3 weeks. Perhaps that's because we have to wait until then for the RAFT collection at Bodie & Fou.

Shopping for vintage - industrial

Wonderful vintage-industrial home furniture is not always easy to find. But I looooove Etsy and always find beautiful things on there. My favourite Etsy shop of the day is Rough South Home. Here's my pick...

Steel splashback

I particularly like their steel steel splash back - which you could use to create a similar feel to the lovely kitchen in this picture below from the Varberg home I posted a few weeks ago.
