Are you Pinterested?

After being introduced to Pinterest by my lovely friend, I have literally not been able to get anything done! 

If, like me you have already been seduced by the wonderful world of Pinterest you will have discovered the huge variety of images people have 'pinned' relating to all types of topics from fashion, food, home decor, crafts, even cute little kittens wearing hats!

If you haven't yet heard of it, well I am sorry I may have just ruined any productivity you had!

But seriously it's a great quick way to pick up inspiration and clever ideas to replicate throughout your life. 

When it comes to ideas which inspire me I tend to go with my gut instinct, if in the first 3 seconds of seeing something and I like it, then simply I like it, even love it!

I try not to over analyse things too much and always work with what you love and enjoy rather then what someone or magazines tell me to do. This goes for most aspects in my life not just with interiors! 

So, from my many hours of trawling pinterest I have selected my favorite interiors and craft projects which just instantly sang to me!

Hope they inspire you too, and don't forget to check out pinterest, don't say I didn't warn you!

Which image inspires you most?

New Year. New Start.

Well it's one week into the New Year and all my resolutions and promises to myself have only started with just the one run and finally booking a dentist appointment.

However my main resolution was to get back started with my blog! It's so easy for time to run away with us, especially during the holidays, that even the tasks we enjoy never seem to get accomplished!

So as I start again providing my thoughts and new ideas of the wonderful world of interiors.
This year I will be attending a handful of trade shows which I will report on all the new and exciting products and designers, which I am very excited about.

January always gives the excuse for everyone, including myself to get organised! Until we get to week 2 and forget all about our neatly laid out diaries and excel files making sure we note EVERYTHING we bought everyday keeping track of the finances... well except those shoes, and that dinner out, they don't really count! Then we end up forgetting as we clear out our purse filled to the brim of receipts we're always told we are meant to keep hold of.

So instead of kidding myself I'll start this year with interior inspiration of organised space! So even if I don't organise myself at least we can still look at lovely interiors!

An organised symmetrical bookshelf creates not only storage but I have always thought bookshelfs are so romantic as they can create intellectual art work, colour and texture to any interior.

There is nothing worse then trying to find your planned outfit in the a bundle of clothes pushed into wardrobes and draws, this new year I am trying to organise my wardrobe!

Organised doesn't mean boring! This fantastic colourful workspace would help me get up in the morning for work! The bright pink and blue bookshelf on casters makes organisation easier and fun. Using different sized shelves provides space for all objects getting away from a regimented look.

So I hope everyone has had a fantastic start to a New Year! And whether you continue with your resolutions or not, it's a start to recognise them and at least by keeping them in the back of your mind one day we can all achieve our goals!

And besides I always seem to get motivated when spring turns!

Mix Match.

Sorry, it's been a little bit since last post! I've been busy busy with work! However I did need to express my feelings in the interior design of our homes! Use what's in design magazines and what's online as inspiration! Making a house a home means using personality and individuality, so use what's unique to your life to create a space which is totally YOU and suits your lifestyle!
Mixing new buys with sentimental pieces creating an interior story all about you.

I think this is a fantastic example, mixing colours and styles creating a jam style of delight.
Understanding the individuals of the people who live and use their home,  should then be replicated in the interior design using their experiences, interests and dreams as inspiration!

The image makes you really feel the personality of the home and owners who have gradually collected furniture and objects over time, which have meaning. The strength of the turquoise wall and personal artwork,  with the impact of the fushia cushions, enlightens the space, mixing traditional furniture with geometric patterns, like on the rug and the modern style coffee table creates an individual interior, unique to the client.

Do you have any piece of furniture which you know will always stay with you no matter how you decorate?
