Random Goodness

Welcome to the start of a new week. It's also the start of the school holidays for my three young whipper snappers, so I will be working hard at balancing work and 'mum time' -
let the games begin!


Today I'm bringing you a random collection of gorgeous products. The one thing they have in common is that they are all things I adore.




I love my trio of Lindi Kingi bead bracelets in rose gold, silver, and gold, they look fantastic with my Michael Kors rose gold watch. And I can't tell you much I adore my Kathryn Wilson Rosie Boots, the cobalt and gold is stunning. I often sling the chain over the back, so that from the front they look like a simple black ankle boot - business in the front, party at the back! I get loads of compliments on them.




This Adrian Pearsall sofa from Mr Bigglesworthy is drool-worthy! I am totally in lust with it's delectable shape and soft, aqua velvet upholstery. Sadly, I don't think it will be coming to live with me in the near future. We're not in need of a sofa, and there are a few things that we do need, like a new bathroom.




These adorable crochet rugs have just arrived at Tea Pea. They're so sweet as a floor rug, but I think they'd also be great thrown on the end of a bed.




Speaking of throws, this handwoven grey stripe throw from Izzy and Jean is a beauty, and comes in several colour ways.




Lastly, I have ordered my copy of Megan Morton's latest book, I Heart My Room, and can't wait for it to arrive. It's a book about children's rooms and features the most amazing bedrooms, as well as input from the kids themselves.

I hope I have helped to get your week off to a good start. If you're a Kiwi parent, enjoy the roller coaster that is 'the school holidays' :)

The Mighty Jungle

You know I'm all about colour and pattern here at Cush & Nooks, therefore I'm happily embracing the animal print revival, both in the home and in the wardrobe. Throw in a splash of leafy green for a true jungle experience.
