Bedrooms

I usually like vibrant colours against a white background but I think it is a good exercise to get out of your comfort zone every now and again. Pale blue would be one of those colours that does not feature on my blog very often. So to be fair to pale blue I decided to find some pale blue bedrooms

WOW. Nenagh Gal has just posted about a wonderful Irish home with one of the most beautiful views EVER!

Mermaid Isle ticks so many boxes on my dream home list – close to the water, plenty of windows to take in the stunning views, warm interiors, hot tubs outside and a little cottage for my guests and family.

I have no words but please do check out Nenaghgal’s post and photos as well as the Mermaid Isle site. And its for sale! I am definitely playing lotto this weekend!

This bedroom looks so inviting. I feel all cheery and healthy? just looking at it.

I believe you could really turn your life around if you lived in a place like this. 🙂 You would wake up early, go for morning jogs, wear white cotton clothes on your sunkissed skin and eat museli for breakfast.

I love Componibili cabinets. They are just so round and cute. And it just so happens we need a bedside table for the second bedroom / office. I think its fate, don’t you?

I stumbled across an authorised Kartell dealer currenlty offering free delivery within the UK and Ireland. I am going to do a quick scoot around town this weekend to make sure its not cheaper or on sale elsewhere. If not, its Bombero baby.

Emily’s place may be a tiny 300 SF but this place ooozes effortless style so many of us wish we could pull off.

I have just posted two pics of the house tour to show you two of her DIY projects but you have to check out the rest of the apartment.

She made the jewellery boards herself. Just grab a couple of boards, some foam cover in linen and voila! So simple but very elegant.

And I just love the bedside table Emily’s Dad made for her. Not to mention those gorgeous pink glass lamps!!!!

I have been meaning to post about Mabel & Violet for awhile now so today here it is.

Mabel & Violet is an online shop which sells some gorgeous homeware and gifts that you just want to blow all your money on. Paula, founder of Mabel & Violet, also runs a blog and posted a recent DIY project.

I think she is just trying to show me up and remind you all of my promise to reveal a DIY this month! Can we just pretend I made this.

And here are some goodies from Paula’s shop –

The Living Etc is a fantastic site for inspiration. The following pics are from LE member Mirka who has just finished an interior design course. She decided to experiment on her own home first and the results are truly amazing for someone so new to the game. I love the how she has played with scale. Brilliant!

Hilary from Blacklashes posted some pics of her amazing bedroom makeover she did for her parents. She has created such a lovely and fresh room. Although Hilary states she found it difficult as it was not her style she produced a room her clients desired which what makes a good designer. Congratulations Hilary on a beautiful makeover.
