Kitchen Inspiration

As the kitchen in the new house needs to be renovated here are a few images that I have been drooling over looking at. I am hoping to combine things I like from each of them into one beautiful kitchen.

I must apologise for not knowing all the sources for the images if anyone can help I will update.

Have a great day.

Modern Country

I have to say that one of my favourite design styles is Modern Country, I love the casual but slightly refined take on country interiors. I am not one for lots of clutter so modern country lets me still have some of my favourite pieces on display without it being over the top. To mix a modern square line sofa with a distressed coffee table and big comfy chair really appeals to me.

The Home Office

As we are on the move again I have been looking at some of my old photo's for inspiration for the home office. I have no idea what size or shape our new office will be but I do know that it has to change from what we have now. My other half gets all of his work via computer at home and I have two monitors on the go a left over from our furniture store but when I look at the office's you see in the magazines you never see a desktop computer they always have a laptop or a Mac. I have harassed my other half to no end about all the wires required to keep our home network going, to be told there is nothing he can do. Do anyone else in blog land have the same problem or do you all have laptops? My dream computer would be a Mac but that is certainly a few years away and who knows what will be available by then, anyway these are my inspiration!

Gustavian Style

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend. Just a few pics that I am so..oooo in love with.

I would love to sit here with a good book and a glass of wine it just looks so inviting.

The soft neutral palette is what makes this room work.

The Moro clock I wish I could find one here.

What can I say I wish this was my house!

Just Beautiful...the mix of soft blue and white I love it!

Not Enough Time

I love to sit and read all the blogs that I follow but lately there just hasn't been enough time.  We are on the move again so my day has consisted of dragging out the packing boxes and tissue paper and starting to pack up all of  my prized possessions, which are now considerably more than when we arrived here.  Much to my husband disgust I discovered Homesense!  I should have known not to paint the bedrooms I'm almost complete with the makeovers and now there is no point in adding the final touches so I'm afraid there will be no pics to post.

The decision to move means I now have a garage full of furniture ready to be painted but do not have the time to do it.  I am trying to convince my other half that we should ship it with us but he wants me to sell it.  Maybe if I can get most of the packing done this week I can concentrate on painting.

The one positive to moving is I can reinvent yet another house, the picture below is the look I would love in the new house but my other half is taking some convincing let me know what you think.  I love the white with the dark woods I think it takes shabby chic to a whole new level.

Inspiration

I can't believe it is Friday already where has the week gone. I have been busy with painting my daughters rooms and thought I would share with you some of the bedroom designs that have inspired us. Taylor's room will be a mix of shabby chic and her favourite colours are blue and brown so we are trying to incorporate them into the design.

Thanks to pure design

I love the fact that they have used a parsons desk as a side table, for me this idea fits perfectly for Taylor's small room it means I don't have to worry about a nightstand.
