Weekly Inspiration #4

So this week, I've been feeling the Orange vibe. I'm also loving the idea of male/female sides of a bedroom (as shown in Disney pixar's UP) and incororating a division screen into our master bedroom somehow. Also, I loved a Portrait Wall I saw at a friends house the other day which climbed the staircase and looked brilliant. And finally, I've been truely inspired to launch an "Inspired by Fashion" series of Interior scheme posts after reading one of my favourite Fashion blogs, Kendi Everyday - keep your beady eyes peeled for the upcoming post this weekend!

Weekly Inspiration #3

Well – I think it’s fair to say I’ve failed miserably on my New Year’s resolution to post a weekly inspiration montage, considering it’s the 14^th February and I’ve only just posted my 3^rd one! Oops. Bi-weekly is perhaps more accurate, but that doesn’t have quite the same ring to it does it?!

This past week or so, I’ve been feeling all Loved Up. Yes folks, it’s Valentine’s day and Love is All Around. So I’ve been looking at romantic images – you know the sort – rose petal scattered beds, candlelit dinners and open fires. But I’ve also gone a little abstract as well: writing desks are such a romantic piece of furniture don’t you think? Long before email and instant messaging, Writing Desks were privy to all our romantic musings. I’d like to think that people still write – pen to paper – and commit their feelings with ink. Never had a love letter yet, but I’m still young… Also, I’m still perusing the web for new bedding with our second bedroom in mind, and looking for an inspiring colour palette too.

What’s got your design juices flowing this Valentines week…?

Weekly Inspiration #2

So, this week I’ve been looking at adding a splash of colour to the Nursery and for those of you who read last weeks’ Nursery Design post, you’ll know I was also looking at wall transfers and some very inspiring nurseries on Cheap & Chic blog. So here is a little sampleboard of this weeks’ inspirational images. I’m LOVING Ann Kelle’s fabrics which I came across accidentally and in particular the Argyle pattern, Remix. I’m seriously looking at using this for curtains in the Nursery. And I’ve also been looking at neat storage solutions and am loving the suggestion to take photos of shoes and put them in plain boxes to give a clean closet interior. Yum.

Weekly Inspiration #1

One of my New Year's Resolutions was to broaden my blog posts in 2012 and post more regularly. So, in what can only be described as a blatant copying off one of my favourite blogs, Elegant Musings, I have decided to post a weekly (!) inspirational post showing the things on the web which have caught my beedy eye this week, as well as anything which is particuarly influencing my current tastes, be it a newspaper article, upcoming event or film which i've recently watched.

This week, I'm feeling the vintage vibe. I'm looking at our kitchen and none-existant dining area and mulling over the possibilites. The space restrictions have lead me to look at making a boothed seating area, a la the 1950s. Also, i've been looking at vintage pieces for our master bedroom to dress the room. Finally, I saw the film, Revolutionary Road, earlier this week and spent the whole film drooling over the decor, so i've been googling that a fair bit too.

What's been catching your eye this week?
