5 Things Pleasing 16/3/14

Five things that got my design mojo going this week:

1. This pomegranate pattern by Georgiana Paraschiv on SocietySix.

2. The fact that Society Six now does Shower Curtains! I personally HAVE to have a pomegranate shower curtain, but here are some other cool ones too:

 Happy by Olivia Joy StClaire

 Lots of cats by Kitten Rain

Gold dots by Georgiana Paraschiv 

3. I love this use of paint to imitate light.

5 Things Pleasing 9/3/13

So what pleased me this week?

1. This living space with a picture window overlooking a stunning mosaic wall - perfection.

2. I love the simplicity of this kitchen diner. It would cost so little to achieve this look and yet it is so appealing. Light-filled, casual and welcoming.

3. I am a bit late to the Twilight party, but the first Twilight was on sky movies this weekend so I thought I'd give it a shot. I ended up having to watch all five! The Cullen's house caught my eye in the films, a beautiful architecturally designed home in a forest setting with large glass windows to capture the views.

4. I have seen this Hygge & West wallpaper before, but I particularly love this use of it in a bathroom with a yellow enamel light shade to replicate the yellow of the birds. Might have to copy this look.

5. It is my two year wedding anniversary tomorrow so I'm feeling the love. This quote by F Scott Fitzgerald caught my eye.

Colour of the week - Minty green

A little colour inspiration - this week minty green. I think this colour works best in small doses to add a pop of pastel. There are so many fun minty accessories out there at the moment.
