Furniture Mismatch

| flulia

I’m obsessed with our new house and making it a bit of a statement. As with many of you guys out there, Hubby and I have inherited quite a bit of furniture so lots of our stuff is mismatched. But, I think that adds to what you can do. It looks quirky and helps you express yourself.

Here are some photos of my favourite mismatched furniture pieces from The Pocket Stylist and Scrimpalicious. I love how they’ve painted all the different chairs that lovely duck egg blue colour in the second photo. And the stick chandelier/suspended Christmas tree looks fantastic! I can imagine using this decorating tip for a kid’s party, housewarming or any other party. You could put coloured flags, nametags or any type of ornament on here. You could even use small church candles and melt them in so they stand up by themselves. Of fairy lights…

Decorating Dilemmas..

| flulia

I can’t wait to unleash my colour sensibility on the decorating side of things now that we have bought a house. But, I can’t really remember what the place looks like! We took lots of photos but wall colours never look the same in photos. Has anyone else ever done this? Have you ever been so overwhelmed that you couldn’t remember exactly what the inside of your place looked like?!

The photos above are some of my favourite uses of colour from The Inside Story,  The Pocket Stylist and Little Lovely. At the moment I am loveing blues and greys.

A House. A Home.

My Hubby and I have just bought a house. This means: a mortgage, packing (why is the kitchen always the hardest?), bubblewrap, putting books on top of the wine glasses (naughty Hubby!), unpacking, and a sore back! This photo of a house covered with balloons says just what we’re feeling. But, packing also means popping the bubblewrap once we’ve unpacked! Yay!

POP POP!

Paper Cut Goodness

| flulia


Hi, I’ve found some more inspiring paper artists. Here are three images by three artists that I’ve just stumbled on. They might be really well known but I’m new to this funky paper cut world! Here’s Andrea Dezsö’s ‘Washington Post BookWorld Cover Art’, Andy Singleton’s ‘They Loved What They Found’ window and Bèatrice Coron’s ‘A Web Of Time’. Give me a scalpel and I’ll give it a go! Has anyone out there tried paper cut before? I’d love to hear how you went.

Barn Owl

On our recent trip to South Australia my husband and I went to Kangaroo Island. Look at this little guy! He’s from Raptor Domain and his name is Shadow. Inspiring or what?! I think my next piece might involve a Barn Owl. If you’re ever in SA then it’s a must see!

Going Cuckoo?

I’m going cuckoo for cuckoo clocks! I’ve always loved them. My auntie used to have one and I always remember being mesmerised by the little hiccupping bird! Her home was filled with the heartbeat of that charming clock. Just magic!

Why do I always imagine lederhosen, blonde plaits and hear, “My name is Inga,” when I see them?

I got this wonderful photo from the Phillips’ Clocks Shop website. Check it out here.

Paper Dresses

Look at these! These dresses were made by Brazilian designer Jum Nakao and I absolutely love them. I was checking out one of my favourite blogs, Once Upon A Fold, when there they were! Might be a bit scrunchy to wear though… Do you love them or what?
