This image seriously stopped me in my tracks.

I don't know what it was...the shot of colour from the vintage Eames chair, the striking shell-like centrepiece or that hide (ok-so faux would be better). I think it's just a simple case of all these elements and more make up a pretty spectacular room!

This is the home of interior designer, Marie Olsson Nylander and no wonder it seems to be popping up on so many blogs - it's unbelieveable! The mixture of colours, patterns and textures she's created in her home is the best I've seen in a long time. This image, I hadn't seen, which I found here via Annaleena's blog.

Take a look there too..it's worth it! x

Diamond in the rough

I'm loving the Rough Luxe hotel in London, the latest interior scheme by internationally acclaimed designer, Rabih Hage. No gimmicks....just exactly what it say's on the tin! Whilst we're heading down to London at the end of next month, we'll be resting our weary heads in our lovely friend's flat in Notting Hill post carnival festivities!! I'd love to have a good old nosey round this place too! Thanks ej for telling me about this one! x

A woman after my own heart

Sheryl Crow happens to be one of my all-time favourite singer/songwriters and having come across her New York loft over at Simply Grove, it's confirmed she not only has exceptional musical talent but also impeccable taste too. A neutral colour palette throughout softens the industrial elements within the space, such as the concrete flooring in the bathroom and the light fittings in the hallway. Add to this an amazing array of curiosities and you end up with an eclectic and homely space definitely worth lusting over. 

'If I can re-use something or give it a new life, that's definitely better than throwing it out.' - Sheryl Crow

My thoughts exactly!!! Have a happy weekend. x
