Hello Friday.... a room full of art and object

Sometimes I come across a home on Pinterest that seems to be from an artist. Full of eclectic objects, well selected art pieces and some touches of timeless design. I often envy those homes because they don't look at trend, just at style and taste. Doesn't matter what is popular on Instagram or where the pieces come from. Some collected during travels, others purchased at a local art gallery.

Kids Tuesday.... a floral theme in a girls play area

I did an online test the other day to find out what type you are. From every question I got I chose whatever image held the most colours. So without a doubt this weeks inspiration had to be filled with colours. And why not start with flowers as they come in an array of bright tones.

Kids Tuesday... a little boys room, still sweet with a hint of adventure

Yesterday I assisted a photoshoot for one of my freelance clients. So much fun to do as we got to set up in the showroom of a beautiful kids shop. There were so many brands I really like. Here is a little boys room styling inspired by some of the brands they have and items they sell. Sweet for a little boy, playful by using character cushions and little adventurous by the fishing, camping, sea theme.

Hello Friday.... some bathroom inspiration

Sometimes my brain works in a funny way. I see a fun piece of artwork on Pinterest and my mind starts to decorate a bathroom. Must have something to do with the naked ladies swimming with tigers or something. Who knows! Thank goodness for my blog where I can ventilate the results of these fun brain waves. Here's some bathroom inspiration.

Image 1 | Image 2 | Just Swim artwork by Monica Ramos | Bath sheet Raina by Cotton ON | Tooth brush by HAY | Pocket organizer by Normann Copenhagen | Flip mirror blush by Normann Copenhagen | Towel ladder Norm by Menu | Botanicals body wash pomegranate by Cotton on BodyWhy did I pin those three images? The first one because I like the contrast between the shades of green and the pale pink and coral. Plus an open paint can photo creates a lovely colour palet for moodboards. The middle image (the bathroom one) because I otherwise propably would not have thought of putting these tiles vertical instead of horizontal and I like this 200% better. The one on the right was love at first sight. I am still to find out of this piece was turned into posters cause if yes I want one!

Hello Friday... the alternative to green

Yellow was never my colour. Until my young son chose it as his favourite at the young age of 2. Now I love how bright and sunny it is. And are you like me and do you lack green fingers. Than cactus is the way to go! This wallpaper is a dream. I have loved the watercolor cactus wallpaper by Anewall the first time I saw it. Never thought anything would top it until this one. The sturdy lamp is by a Dutch Designer called Floris Hovers. I met him the first time I visited the Dutch Design week. Bring it all together and you create a lovely room for a modern family.
