Tuesday's finds

This chimney breast. An artwork in itself!

Found here.

This wine.

I'd buy ten bottles, purely because of the labels!

You see, I'm fascinated by starlings and their roosting displays!

This light fitting.

All found whilst researching today for an upcoming job I'll be working on.

(Honest!!)

Couldn't resist!

Two posts in one day?!

I expect you'll be falling off your chairs and spilling your cups of tea over those keyboards!!

I just had to post this image of the house of Swedish blogger and decorator, Maliin Stoor, found whilst soaking up another dose of the gorgeousness that is Emma's Design Blogg.

It was the natural light streaming in through those doors which caught my attention, not to mention the beautiful decor! You know the light I mean, late afternoon on a Winter's day, not long before the sun slowly begins to set. I just love it!

Please head on over here if you haven't already been and take a look....this small picture really doesn't do it justice!

Oh and that branch light...!!

Marjorie Skouras

No doubt many of you will have seen this beautiful image recently.

I spotted it over at Greige and fell in love with the chandelier instantly...doesn't it work perfectly in that unassuming space?

Oh and just to divert for a sec, take a look at the industrial wedding in today's post over at Greige. Fantastic in every way! Now back to the chandelier (!!) I have to admit, I wasn't aware of the designer right away.

However, a trip to the lovely Ada & Darcy proved very informative and led me to Marjorie Skouras and more of these beauties in plenty of colourways.

Equally lovely interior accessories too...

...and images of her beautiful chandeliers used in her own interior schemes.

A lovely start to my 28th year...

Time spent at the caravan is time very well spent in my opinion!

Our lovely friends Ange and Ben brought some lanterns with them to light at midnight. It was so nice watching them float away above the sea until they were tiny specks in the distance.

We were woken on the morning of my birthday by the sunrise streaming in through the windows.

Larry loved his time on the beach as usual. This time, chasing seagulls and fetching flip-flops. That's not a fish in his mouth I promise...he's not that clever!

 

...and the icing on the cake was this gorgeous present from my lovely mum and dad.

I saw this 1930's lamp in one of my favourite antique shops months ago when shopping with my mum. At the time I decided not to buy it as I'd spent quite a bit that month but was upset when I realised it had been sold. I really wasn't expecting to see it again when I unwrapped my parcel! They definitely know how to make their daughter happy!!! So, here's a huge big thank-you to everyone who made my birthday so special.

I love surprises don't you? x

Today, I'd like to own...

One of these beauties!

I don't mind which colour, but if someone would like to install one of Roast Designs blown glass chandeliers in our living room while I'm at work that would be great...thank-you! x

An inland sea

Whilst flicking through this month's issue of House and Garden, I came across this amazing light installation by lighting designer, Bruce Munro. 

The images above show how the installation, named CDSea, will look both at night and during the day. One million discs laid on Long Knoll field in Wiltshire will reflect the sun during the day and the moon at night, creating the impression of an 'inland sea' and you can even play your part by sending in any unwanted CD's of your own. Brilliant!
