Apricot Delight

October 31, 2011

I am a big romantic, and therefore a real sucker for weddings. What better excuse to dress up and sip champagne than to watch two people share their joy with all their loved ones. When I saw these wedding photos I knew I had to share them with you. Such beautiful, soft colours, and exquisite styling by Cynthia Martin of Cynthia Martin Events.

I love the centerpiece with the antique crate laden with apricots in contrast to the crystal glasses

Lovely use of flowers in different glass vases - that peony in the front is divine!

Beautifully printed menus and a single rose on each plate

Yum, I'm feeling quite thirsty looking at the perfectly matched champagne cocktails

The beautiful bride - the colours suit her so well

DIY Hooks and Handles

October 28, 2011

I love this idea of using toy animal heads as hooks for hanging jewellery or small items on.

This one is all made and available from here

Or have a go at making your own, for instructions click here

And here's another great use of toy animals - a fun desk make-over using blue zebra print paper on top and toy dinosaurs as handles. The pencil holder on the wall is also a neat idea. Are you feeling inspired yet?

Jessie's Bedroom Makeover

October 27, 2011

I particularly love the black & white with the bright colours

I posted this image recently and commented on how it had inspired me to make-over my eldest daughter's room. She is nearly nine years old and I'd love to give her a really 'cool' room where she can hang out with her friends, listen to music and read about her fav celeb, Selena Gomez. If anyone has any recommendations on where I could find great bedding and rugs (I really like the graphic, geometric look in the room above), please let me know.
