Happy Holidays :)

laundry room loving!

The laundry room without a doubt is the

most overlooked room in any house...

Doing the laundry is hard enough! So we think

it's time to give our laundries a make over and help

take some of the stress out of this painful chore!

Whether you have an entire room or a small closet you can transform

any space that holds your washer and dryer into a beautiful room

that gives you the functionality that you need too......

Cute storage is the secret!

Use tin or wooden boxes, baskets and jars

to organise and hide laundry detergent and all the other messy stuff

you don't want your visitors to see!

The key here is to assign everything its own space

for easy use and more importantly a quick clean up!

How clever is this laundry riser/pedestal

that lifts your washer and dryer to a comfortable height and also

gives you space to store your laundry baskets in!

Our next project is to build one for ourselves...

and then show you all how to do it too!

:::Wall Gallery//

Wall Galleries are a great way to

put everything you love in a frame, on display for all to see!

We love mixing realistic watercolour paintings with

bold typographic artworks, along side delicate illustrations,

old photos, cool quotes, serious potraits, vintage maps,

collected postcards and pretty much whatever

else you can find to stick on a wall!

They best thing? There are no rules to this one!

Sky Parlour framed art are a great way to start your own wall gallery!

our dream work space :)

Home office spaces are always so boring and uninspiring!

So we thought we'd share a few that made our hearts skip a beat.

On the top of our christmas wish list?

This french doored weatherboard cottage

in the middle of a lush garden...

Now we just need to find someone to make it for us?

Surprise us santa... please!

Of course one can dream and we realise the cottage is a little unrealistic...

so... we will settle for the ones below :)

Adding an industrial vibe to your office is always really effective.

Storage ideas? Find some old black lockers, industrial steel filing cabinets...

Team them up with black pendant lights with visible cording,

a retro chair in a contrasting material (timber, acrylic or leather)

and add a nice rustic timber desk top and cabinet.

For the desk top search for some recycled timber and panel it together-

when sanded it has a nicer finish and

you're saving the environment at the same time!

For an extra cool touch paint the lockers

or one feature wall with chalkboard paint!

DIY window frame cabinet!

WINDOW FRAME CABINETS!

We are totally obsessed with art deco window frames.

Their diverse styles along with their geometric and rustic

qualities are something that you don't see very

often in modern window design.

They are also great for turning boring old wooden boxes into

cute window framed cabinets!

To achieve this look for your home:

Find an old window frame, you can try ebay or

second hand furniture stores...

Make or buy a panelled wooden box without a lid

(we especially love the look of old wooden

fruit carts with text on them)

add a few shelves on the inside in line with the

panelling of the window frame...

attach the window frame on a couple of hinges

and you have your own very cute, unique styled cabinet!

christmas at my home :)

I've been SO busy lately that I haven't had time to

decorate my beautiful christmas tree...

I may be bias but even without decorations I think it is the most

amazing looking and smelling christmas tree I have ever seen!

This weekend we have finally gotten around to decorating and I thought

I'd show put up a few snaps of what christmas looks like in my home...

full of love, health and happiness xx

@home with AGYNESS DEYN

We are used to seeing Agyness Deyn's distinctive style splashed

across fashion magazines world wide...

however we are not used to seeing this side of her!

We are not too sure what to think about this one...

there are some elements that we love

and some that we could live without...

what we're definitely sure of is that there is

A LOT going on in this Brooklyn loft!

Deyn's home puts a whole new meaning to the word eclectic:

If we could take bits and pieces to add to our collection of goodies

the first thing we would take is the hot air balloon chandelier!

AMAZING!

Although there are a lot of clashing prints, era's, colours and trends

we still think it's not a bad little collection for a 28 year old!

If you are a fan of the loft... it is up for grabs for a measly US2.5million

... beaming ...

We love the way exposed ceiling beams can create a

homely, rustic, cottage feel.

If you're lucky enough to have a cathedral style roof in your home

add some rustic white symmetrical ceiling beams to create a

geometric wonderland

::: aztec aspiration ✝

We L.O.V.E eclectic, aztec inspired homes.

NB: to fully achieve this look you will need to have a little bit of hoarder in you!

::: Collect bits and bobs from flea markets :::

overload on candles and decorative cross collections

raid your granny's house for some old pigeon hole shelves

add a rustic, wrought iron mirror

team it all up with some recycled wooden furniture

and throw in a few crystal rock clusters...

Necessities for this look?

A sun-bleached animal skull...

If you're an animal lover or just don't like the

thought of animal skulls,

timber deer heads, resin, ceramic or metal skulls

are a great substitute!

❂ ❄ ❅ Christmas Styling ideas ❅ ❄ ❂

There's no denying we love the look

(and most importantly the smell)

of a freshly cut, lush, green Christmas tree!

However for those of you who are a little sick and tired of the same

old festive look we have put together a few different ideas that

you can easily replicate in your home this Christmas!

:: dreamy whites ::

The latest addition to our never ending wishlist...

WHITE FLOORBOARDS!

Yes we know it's not easy maintain,

but all those scratches and blemishes is

what gives it character and makes it look so good!

Turquoise Accents

We thought it was just us that had a turquoise obsession but we've realised there

are a lot of you out there who love it too!

Personally we think everyone should have a little turquoise in their home...

which is why we made our turquoise coffee table!

Here are some more cute turquoise styling ideas!

summer days :)

today is the first day of summer

and we are so in love with these summer houses...

trees as walls, glass ceilings with the sun shining through,

chandeliers by the pool and day beds to die for!

Can we add these to our christmas wish list?
