On this cold and wet Wellington day I just want to curl up in a big white bed.

5 Things Pleasing 6/4/2014

My weekly round up this week.

1. In the most recent Home Adore magazine they featured Perth Bistro Guillaume. I am in love with the vivid greens, the combination of textures-the glossy tiles, the leather benches, the mosaics, the carpets...I could go on. I particularly love the lights which look like flower buds pre-bloom and how their round shape is replicated in the chairs...what an amazing space.

2. Catherine Martin Metropolis collection has been out for a little while now but I got to see some of the fabrics in person this week and so I have a renewed love of her glamorous designs. I particularly love the gold wallpapers.

3. H&M have go some seriouuuusly cool homewares in their collection. I spent nearly an hour trawling through the online shop this week. And now NZ Post makes it possible to ship their products here - yess! They have some really affordable rugs too.

4. I came across this image and I love the opulence of the shower curtain in contrast to the contemporary bathroom...particularly in combination with the black floorboards. It is so simple yet so visually striking.

5. And...well I like this. I'm all about the motivational posters lately.

Homage to doggies

Have you noticed that quite often dogs feature in interior decor photographs? I think it is because dogs make a home (and destroy it). Here are some sweet shots I've come across.

5 Things Pleasing 30/3/14

Slight delay, but here are my five things pleasing for last week.

1. I keep seeing the word LOVE appear in home schemes. Spot the LOVE.

2. I think you either love or hate the idea of a bathtub in the bedroom. To me it screams ultimate luxury and I particularly love this example:

3. I love this idea of stringing leaves as decoration above a dining table.

(not sure)

4. One of my fav places to visit when road-tripping to Napier is Bridge cafe in the Manuatu Gorge. It has the most beautiful garden and rustic interior - check it out next time you are out that way.

5. My other fav place to stop is Box of Birds, an amazing homewares shop in Shannon.

Pleasing spaces - Apartment Living

It seems these days (in Europe especially) people are trying to cram as much as they can into small spaces. We are a bit spoilt for space here in New Zealand, but with house prices going up some of us are being forced to downsize. With downsizing in mind, here are some pleasing small spaces I have come across...downsizing might not be so bad afterall.
