So I'm starting to plan a big trip next year and one of the destinations we are going to is New York. I came across The Jane while hunting for quirky accommodation and now I have my heart set on staying there. Check it out:

House of dumplings

Oh happy day! I can now buy dumplings any time I want instead of braving the cold at Left Bank Market or the vege market on Sunday. House of Dumplings has opened a takeaway shop on taranaki street. You should visit for the dumplings, but also for the effort they have gone to for the decor! On Dish they described it: "Kind of like an ancient Chinese haberdashery, but for food. The interior is clad with rough recycled wooden panels and canvas, whilst drawers, shelves and cupboards all appear stuffed with exotic spices and balls of string. Outside, House of Dumplings leans into the street thanks to a hut-like awning and bamboo covering."

5 Pleasing Interiors - Bell Jars

You seem to be able to put just about anything in a bell jar and it will look good. Proof is in the pictures.

I don't know about you, but the bell jar reminds me of watching Beauty and the Beast!!!

Have you been to Arthur's?

I finally have. Don't ask me about the food, I was more interested in the quirky decor!

Five Pleasing Interiors - Edgy Artwork

I recently said to my husband that our house is lacking some edgy artwork. It's not for everyone, but I like pictures that evoke thought.

I miss summer and sitting outside without freezing to death... :(
