launderette land

The laundry would have to be the last place you decorate...the garage would even get a look-in beforehand! But I love the little things that people do to make it a happier place! And why not?! You spend a fair bit of time in there! Why have a space that makes you all depressed!?

whose bathroom is it anyway?

This is so cute - I would love to have "men" and "women" written on the toilet door.

i need a hammock

Need i say anything more....?

this fern thing has gone viral

desiretoinspire

I like this - fern in a vase thing... but every time I look now, it appears that someone is doing it. Is this the next big thing?

appropriate cutlery

I don't know how I could work this in but I am loving the individuality of the cutlery mobile in this kitchen! I love originality!

stocking up on the important things...

I bought a cushion... and I LOVE IT!

It completely fits in with our bright colour, lil bit retro theme we have in our heads!! The green is vibrant and the pic just not do it justice!

the ooh la la of homes

Thank you Desire to Inspire for bringing me my daily fix!

Check out this house! I am so feeling us in here! The floors are dark and the walls are white (yes, they are black floors - but if black and white works - then brown and white will work!) and it has an apartment-vibe which I love! Apartments are generally much smaller than houses so they really make use of space!

I am loving the dark floor - white wall combo.

Loving the use of aluminium in the kitchen - we won't do the bench - but a splashback that matches the floor is something to think about.

We need ceiling fans because we are going without air-con - hail to the electrical gods! When you think of ceiling fans - they don't make you think 'modern' but I love the look in this room! Dark floors, white walls, black window frames, asian vibe and an aluminium ceiling fan - LOVE LOVE!

Loving the asian vibe! I am also thinking twice about the shower wall hidey-hole - I am quite liking seeing it all in white! Admittantly the tile is quite small or it has a design, but I reallu love how clean the white is! I will have to find out if ours would have clean edges or if it would be edged in aluminium. I think I would be happy with either, but this is so minimal - LOVE IT! Maybe instead of a fussy tiny mosaic, we could get a small square white tile inlaid instead? or use the same type of tile throughout? Hmmm... interesting...

I LOVE the bright as a button art on the stark white walls. It looks so impressively modern and brightens the room! The exposed cord hanging lights over the dining room are also amazing, but I know I will never get that through Mr Piggy! For one, we would have to pay for 3 x light fittings and secondly - it looks unfinished and he isn't too fussed on that...

Black framed windows look amazing. It makes the windows look like you are gazing into pictures...

 



no...these are a few of my fav-our-ite things...

OMG I could not be loving this more than I am! I was about to pack up and go to bed and then I saw this and I got all excited!

I would love to make one for Mr Piggy and me for our new home! It would be so cool to list all the things that we really love and get a little canvas made up! Or we could print and frame it! I love the typewriter font - its so kitsche and cool!

Must remember - must remember!!

a random spew of inspiration

Loving the stark white walls. You can do so much with it and it looks quite modern.

Ok, we aren't going for timber benches but I am loving the brown and white thing they have going...

I love the old timber table. It looks like it has so much history..

I love dark brown and white in a bathroom!

I love seeing the contrast of light and dark. Its not so safe and I admire that...

All my favourite colours! Made for me!

Love the bookshelves with the grey behind...

asian inspiration

So much time has passed... my apologies... So back into it!

I have been going through a lot of display homes - we are almost at the stage of making our all important home choices!! How exciting!

Along the way I have been picking up some asian inspiration. It is so beautiful. I love the simplicity of design.

 

OMG I am loving the interior doors with the frosted glass! I have also seen some amazing ones that slide. I like that it has a modern asian feel.

Was unfortunately a little low for me and not too comfortable  :(

Look lovely but the way that they are sewn, it leaves a lip hamging on the other side which would be a major dust catcher!! :(

dowel never looked so good

Stem tree coat stand. So simple. It feels like you are bringing the outdoors - in.

This grandfather clock from Rowen Wagner is so amazing in its simplicity. I could stare at it all day.

snakes and ladders

I have a major crush on ladders. Talking to friends, it seems I am not alone. They are particularly in love with them in a library, running along the top of tall bookshelves..

They are so versatile. We are not all going to have that massive Beauty and the Beast style library, so there must be other ways ladders can be integrated...


The contempory library...

Someone sure loves ladders!! I thought I was obsessed - apparently not so much!

And then there the ladders that wouldn't be able to be integrated into an average home, but you suddenly feel like you need to...
